Biblical Concordance
| John 9:18 | The Jews did not believe the report about him (autou | αὐτοῦ | gen sg masc3rd), that he had been blind and had received his sight, until they called the parents of the man (autou | αὐτοῦ | gen sg masc3rd) who had received his sight |
| John 9:19 | and asked them (autous | αὐτούς | acc pl masc3rd), saying, “Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then does he now see?” |
| John 9:20 | His (autou | αὐτοῦ | gen sg masc3rd) parents answered, saying, “We know that this is our son and that he was born blind; |
| John 9:21 | but how it is that he now sees we do not know, nor do we know who opened his (autou | αὐτοῦ | gen sg masc3rd) eyes. Ask him (auton | αὐτόν | acc sg masc3rd), he is an adult. He (autos | αὐτός | nom sg masc) will speak for himself.” |
| John 9:22 | His (autou | αὐτοῦ | gen sg masc3rd) parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews; for the Jews had already agreed that if anyone should confess Jesus (auton | αὐτόν | acc sg masc3rd) to be the Christ, he was to be put out of the synagogue. |
| John 9:23 | For this reason his (autou | αὐτοῦ | gen sg masc3rd) parents said, “He is an adult, ask him.” (auton | αὐτόν | acc sg masc3rd) |
| John 9:24 | So for the second time they called the man who had been blind and said to him (autō | αὐτῷ | dat sg masc3rd), “Give the glory to God! We know that this man is a sinner.” |
| John 9:26 | Therefore they said to him (autō | αὐτῷ | dat sg masc3rd), “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?” |
| John 9:27 | He answered them (autois | αὐτοῖς | dat pl masc3rd), “I told you already and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? You do not want to become his (autou | αὐτοῦ | gen sg masc3rd) disciples too, do you?” |
| John 9:28 | Then they scoffed at him (auton | αὐτόν | acc sg masc3rd), saying, “You are a disciple of that man! But we are disciples of Moses! |
| John 9:30 | The man responded to (autois | αὐτοῖς | dat pl masc3rd) them (autois | αὐτοῖς | dat pl masc3rd), saying, “This is an amazing thing, that you do not know where he comes from, and yet he opened my eyes! |
| John 9:31 | We know that God does not listen to sinners, but if anyone is devout and does his (autou | αὐτοῦ | gen sg masc3rd) will, God listens to him. |
| John 9:34 | They replied to (autō | αὐτῷ | dat sg masc3rd) him (autō | αὐτῷ | dat sg masc3rd), saying, “You were born completely in sin, and would you lecture us?” So they threw him (auton | αὐτόν | acc sg masc3rd) out. |
| John 9:35 | Jesus heard that they had thrown him (auton | αὐτόν | acc sg masc3rd) out, and when he found him (auton | αὐτόν | acc sg masc3rd), he said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?” |
| John 9:36 | The man replied, saying, “And who is he, sir? Tell me, so that I may believe in him.” (auton | αὐτόν | acc sg masc3rd) |
| John 9:37 | Jesus said to him (autō | αὐτῷ | dat sg masc3rd), “You have seen him (auton | αὐτόν | acc sg masc3rd); in fact, he is the one speaking with you.” |
| John 9:38 | Then the man said, “I believe, Lord,” and he bowed in reverence before him (autō | αὐτῷ | dat sg masc3rd). |
| John 9:40 | Some of the Pharisees who were near him (autou | αὐτοῦ | gen sg masc3rd) heard this, and said to him (autō | αὐτῷ | dat sg masc3rd), “Surely we are not blind too, are we?” |
| John 9:41 | Jesus said to them (autois | αὐτοῖς | dat pl masc3rd), “If you were blind, you would not be guilty of sin; but now you are saying, ‘We can see,’ so your guilt remains. |
| John 10:3 | The watchman allows him to enter, and the sheep pay attention to his (autou | αὐτοῦ | gen sg masc3rd) voice; he calls his own sheep by name and leads them (auta | αὐτά | acc pl neut3rd) out. |
| John 10:4 | When he has brought out all his own, he walks on ahead of them (autōn | αὐτῶν | gen pl neut3rd), and the sheep follow him (autō | αὐτῷ | dat sg masc3rd) because they know his (autou | αὐτοῦ | gen sg masc3rd) voice. |
| John 10:5 | They will never follow a stranger, but will run away from him (autou | αὐτοῦ | gen sg masc3rd), because they do not know the voice of strangers.” |
| John 10:6 | Jesus told them (autois | αὐτοῖς | dat pl masc3rd) this figurative story, but they did not understand what he was saying to them (autois | αὐτοῖς | dat pl masc3rd). |
| John 10:8 | All who came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them (autōn | αὐτῶν | gen pl masc3rd). |
| John 10:11 | “I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays down his (autou | αὐτοῦ | gen sg masc3rd) life for the sheep. |
