a festival sabbath". Verse 4 New King James Version I must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; the night is coming when no one can work. This verse begins with "we must" (, hemas dei) in the Westcott-Hort version and in the New International Version. The Textus Receptus and the Vulgate both use the singular, "I must" (). The reference to "Him who sent me" anticipates the evangelist's note that "Siloam means 'Sent' (verse 6), meaning that Jesus, who has been sent by his Father, "is also present in this water". Verse 14 Now it was a Sabbath when Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes. The circumstances are similar to the healing at Bethesda in John 5. Verse 22 The Jews had agreed already that if anyone confessed that He (Jesus) was Christ, he would be put out of the synagogue. "The word for ‘out of the synagogue’ () is peculiar to John, occurring [in] , , and nowhere else". The decision has been linked to the possible Council of Jamnia which was once thought to have decided the content of the Jewish canon sometime in the late 1st century (c. 70–90 AD). Verse 34 confirms that "they cast him out", the Amplified Bible and the New Living Translation adding text to refer to his exclusion from the synagogue. Verse 38 Then he said, "Lord, I believe!" And he worshiped Him. A few manuscripts, such as Papyrus 75 and Codex Sinaiticus, omit the whole of verse 38 and the beginning of verse 39. Verse 39 And Jesus said, "For judgment I have come into this world, that those who do not see may see, and that those who see may be made blind." Verses 40-41 "Surely, we are not blind, are we?" Jesus said to them, "If you were blind, you would not have sin. But now that you say, 'We see', your sin remains."
