G1510–εἰμί–eimi

While it is day we have to do the works of him who sent me: the night comes when no work may be done.

ἐστίν· estin “it is;”

As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.

ὦ, ō “I may be,”εἰμι eimi “I am”

Then the neighbours and others who had seen him before in the street, with his hand out for money, said, Is not this the man who got money from people?

ἦν, ēn “he was,”ἐστιν estin “is”

Some said, It is he: others said, No, but he is like him. He said, I am he.

ἐστιν, estin “it is,”ἐστιν. estin “he is.”εἰμι. eimi “am [he].”

And they said to him, Where is he? His answer was: I have no knowledge.

ἐστιν estin “is”

Now the day on which the earth was mixed by Jesus and the man's eyes were made open was the Sabbath.

ἦν ēn “Was”

Then some of the Pharisees said, That man has not come from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath. Others said, How is it possible for a sinner to do such signs? So there was a division among them.

ἔστιν estin “is”ἦν ēn “there was”

Again they said to the blind man, What have you to say about him for opening your eyes? And he said, He is a prophet.

ἐστίν. estin “He is.”

Now the Jews had no belief in the statement that he had been blind and was now able to see, till they sent for the father and mother of the man whose eyes had been made open,

ἦν ēn “he was being”

And put the question to them, saying, Is this your son, of whom you say that he was blind at birth? how is it then that he is now able to see?

ἐστιν estin “is”

In answer his father and mother said, We are certain that this is our son and that he was blind at birth:

ἐστιν estin “is”

So they sent a second time for the man who had been blind and they said to him, Give glory to God: it is clear to us that this man is a sinner.

ἦν ēn “were”ἐστιν. estin “is.”

He said in answer, I have no knowledge if he is a sinner or not, but one thing I am certain about; I was blind, and now I see.

ἐστιν estin “He is”ὢν ōn “being”

And they were angry with him and said, You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.

εἶ ei “are”ἐσμὲν esmen “are”

We are certain that God gave his word to Moses: but as for this man, we have no knowledge where he comes from.

ἐστίν. estin “is.”

The man said in answer, Why, here is a strange thing! You have no knowledge where he comes from though he gave me the use of my eyes.

ἐστιν estin “is”ἐστίν, estin “He is,”

We have knowledge that God does not give ear to sinners, but if any man is a worshipper of God and does his pleasure, to him God's ears are open.

ᾖ ē “shall be”

If this man did not come from God he would be unable to do anything.

ἦν ēn “were”

He said in answer, And who is he, Lord? Say, so that I may have faith in him.

ἐστιν, estin “is He,”

Jesus said to him, You have seen him; it is he who is talking to you.

ἐστιν. estin “is.”

These words came to the ears of the Pharisees who were with him and they said to him, Are we, then, blind?

ὄντες ontes “being”ἐσμεν; esmen “are?”

Jesus said to them, If you were blind you would have no sin: but now that you say, We see; your sin is there still.

ἦτε, ēte “you were,”

Truly I say to you, He who does not go through the door into the place where the sheep are kept, but gets in by some other way, is a thief and an outlaw.

ἐστὶν estin “is”

He who goes in by the door is the keeper of the sheep.

ἐστιν estin “is”

In this Jesus was teaching them in the form of a story: but what he said was not clear to them.

ἦν ēn “it was”
