8 The neighbors and those who had seen him before as a beggar were saying, “Is this not the man who used to sit and beg?”

8 The neighbours therefore, and they which before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?

8 His neighbors and others who knew him as a blind beggar asked each other, “Isn’t this the man who used to sit and beg?”

8 Therefore the neighbors and those who previously had seen that he was blind said, “Is not this he who sat and begged?”

8 The neighbors and some people who had earlier seen this man begging said, “Isn’t this the same man who used to sit and beg?”

8 The neighbors therefore, and they that saw him aforetime, that he was a beggar, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?

8 The neighbours therefore, and those who used to see him before, that he was a beggar, said, Is not this he that was sitting and begging?

8 His neighbors and those who had previously seen him begging asked, “Isn’t this the man who used to sit and beg?” 

8 His neighbors and those who formerly had seen him as a beggar said, “Isn’t this the man who sat begging?”

8 The neighbors and those who had seen him before as a beggar began to ask, “Is this not the man who used to sit and beg?”

8 Then the neighbors and those who saw him previously (because he was a beggar) began to say, “Is this man not the one who used to sit and beg?”

8 His neighbors and those who had earlier seen him begging asked questions. “Isn’t this the same man who used to sit and beg?” they asked.

8 Therefore the neighbors, and those who previously saw him as a beggar, were saying, “Is not this the one who used to sit and beg?”
