約翰福音 9
Revised Chinese Union Version (Traditional Script) Shen Edition
治好生來失明的人
9 耶穌往前走的時候，看見一個生來就失明的人。 2 門徒問耶穌：「拉比，這人生來失明，是誰犯了罪？是這人還是他的父母呢？」 3 耶穌回答：「既不是這人犯了罪，也不是他的父母，而是要在他身上顯出 神的作為來。 4 趁着白日，我們[a]必須做差我[b]來的那位的工；黑夜來到，就沒有人能做工了。 5 我在世上的時候，是世上的光。」 6 耶穌說了這些話，就吐唾沫在地上，用唾沫和了泥抹在盲人的眼睛上， 7 對他說：「你到西羅亞池子裏去洗。」（西羅亞翻出來就是「奉差遣」。）於是他去，洗了，回來就看見了。 8 他的鄰舍和素常見他討飯的人，就說：「這不是那從前坐着討飯的人嗎？」 9 有的說：「是他」；又有的說：「不是，卻是像他。」他自己說：「是我。」 10 於是他們對他說：「你的眼睛是怎麼開的呢？」 11 那人回答：「有一個名叫耶穌的，他和了泥抹我的眼睛，對我說：『你到西羅亞池子去洗。』我去一洗，就看見了。」 12 他們對他說：「那個人在哪裏？」他說：「我不知道。」
法利賽人盤問醫治的事
13 他們把以前失明的那個人帶到法利賽人那裏。 14 耶穌和泥開他眼睛的那一天是安息日。 15 法利賽人又問他是怎麼得看見的。他對他們說：「他把泥抹在我的眼睛上，我一洗，就看見了。」 16 於是法利賽人中有的說：「這個人不是從 神來的，因為他不守安息日。」另有的說：「一個罪人怎能行這樣的神蹟呢？」他們之間就產生了分裂。 17 於是他們又對那盲人說：「他開了你的眼睛，你說他是怎樣的人呢？」他說：「他是個先知。」
18 猶太人不信他以前是失明，後來能看見的，等到叫了他的父母來， 19 問他們說：「這是你們的兒子嗎？你們說他生來是失明的，現在怎麼看見了呢？」 20 他的父母就回答說：「他是我們的兒子，生來就失明，這是我們知道的。 21 至於他現在怎麼能看見，我們卻不知道；是誰開了他的眼睛，我們也不知道。他已經是成人，你們問他吧，他自己會說。」 22 他父母說這些話，是怕猶太人，因為猶太人已經商定，若有宣認耶穌是基督的，要把他趕出會堂。 23 因此他父母說「他已經是成人，你們問他吧」。
24 於是法利賽人第二次叫了那以前失明的人來，對他說：「你要將榮耀歸給 神，我們知道這人是個罪人。」 25 那人就回答：「他是不是個罪人，我不知道；有一件事我知道，我本來是失明的，現在我看見了。」 26 他們就問他：「他給你做了甚麼？是怎麼開了你的眼睛？」 27 他回答他們：「我已經告訴你們了，你們不聽，為甚麼又要聽呢？難道你們也要作他的門徒嗎？」 28 他們就罵他：「你是他的門徒，而我們是摩西的門徒。 29 神對摩西說話是我們知道的，可是這個人，我們不知道他從哪裏來。」 30 那人回答，對他們說：「他開了我的眼睛，你們竟不知道他從哪裏來，這真是奇怪！ 31 我們知道 神不聽罪人，惟有敬奉 神、遵行他旨意的， 神才聽他。 32 從創世以來，未曾聽見有人開了生來就失明的人的眼睛。 33 這人若不是從 神來的，甚麼也不能做。」 34 他們回答他說：「你完全是生在罪中的，還要來教訓我們嗎？」於是他們把他趕出去了。
靈性的盲目
35 耶穌聽說他們把他趕出去，就找到他，說：「你信人子[c]嗎？」 36 那人回答說：「主啊，人子是誰？告訴我，好讓我信他。」 37 耶穌對他說：「你已經看見他，現在和你說話的就是他。」 38 他說：「主啊，我信！」他就拜耶穌。 39 耶穌說：「我為審判到這世上來，使不能看見的看見，能看見的反而失明。」
40 同他在那裏的法利賽人聽見這些話，就對他說：「難道我們也失明了嗎？」 41 耶穌對他們說：「你們若是失明的，就沒有罪了；但現在你們說『我們能看見』，你們的罪還在。」
John 9
King James Version
9 And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.
2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?
3 Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.
4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.
5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
6 When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay,
7 And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing.
8 The neighbours therefore, and they which before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?
9 Some said, This is he: others said, He is like him: but he said, I am he.
10 Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened?
11 He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight.
12 Then said they unto him, Where is he? He said, I know not.
13 They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind.
14 And it was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.
15 Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. He said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and do see.
16 Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he keepeth not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them.
17 They say unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is a prophet.
18 But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight.
19 And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then doth he now see?
20 His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind:
21 But by what means he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he shall speak for himself.
22 These words spake his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man did confess that he was Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.
23 Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him.
24 Then again called they the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner.
25 He answered and said, Whether he be a sinner or no, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.
26 Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eyes?
27 He answered them, I have told you already, and ye did not hear: wherefore would ye hear it again? will ye also be his disciples?
28 Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are Moses' disciples.
29 We know that God spake unto Moses: as for this fellow, we know not from whence he is.
30 The man answered and said unto them, Why herein is a marvellous thing, that ye know not from whence he is, and yet he hath opened mine eyes.
31 Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.
32 Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind.
33 If this man were not of God, he could do nothing.
34 They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.
35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?
36 He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him?
37 And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee.
38 And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.
39 And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind.
40 And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also?
41 Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.
John 9
1599 Geneva Bible
9 1 Christ giveth sight on the Sabbath day, to him that was born blind. 13 Whom, after he had long reasoned against the Pharisees, 22, 35 and was cast out of the Synagogue, 36 Christ endueth with the knowledge of the everlasting light.
1 And [a]as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.
2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?
3 Jesus answered, [b]Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents, but that the works of God should be showed on him.
4 [c]I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is [d]day: the night cometh when no man can work.
5 As long as I am in the world, (A)I am the light of the world.
6 [e]As soon as he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and anointed the eyes of the blind with the clay,
7 And said unto him, Go wash in the pool of Siloam (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore and washed, and came again seeing.
8 [f]Now the neighbors and they that had seen him before, when he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?
9 Some said, This is he: and others said, He is like him: but he himself said, I am he.
10 Therefore they said unto him, How were thine eyes [g]opened?
11 He answered, and said, The man that is called Jesus, made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam and wash. So I went and washed, and received sight.
12 Then they said unto him, Where is he? He said, I cannot tell.
13 ¶ They brought to the Pharisees him that was once blind.
14 And it was the Sabbath day, when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.
15 Then again the Pharisees also asked him, how he had received sight. And he said unto them, He laid clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and do see.
16 [h]Then said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he keepeth not the Sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner, do such miracles? and there was a dissension among them.
17 Then spake they unto the blind again, What sayest thou of him, because he hath opened thine eyes? And he said, He is a Prophet.
18 Then the Jews did not believe him (that he had been blind, and received his sight) until they had called the parents of him that had received sight.
19 And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, whom ye say was born blind? How doth he now see then?
20 His parents answered them, and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind:
21 But by what means he now seeth, we know not: or who hath opened his eyes, can we not tell: he is old enough: ask him: he shall answer for himself.
22 These words spake his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had ordained already, that if any man did confess that he was Christ, he should be excommunicated out of the Synagogue.
23 Therefore said his parents, He is old enough: ask him.
24 Then again called they the man that had been blind, and said unto him, [i]Give glory unto God: we know that this man is a [j]sinner.
25 Then he answered, and said, Whether he be a sinner or no, I cannot tell: one thing I know, that I was blind, and now I see.
26 Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eyes?
27 He answered them, I have told you already, and ye have not heard it: wherefore would ye hear it again? will ye also be his disciples?
28 [k]Then reviled they him, and said, Be thou his disciple: we be Moses’ disciples.
29 We know that God spake with Moses: but this man we know not from whence he is.
30 The man answered, and said unto them, Doubtless, this is a marvelous thing, that ye know not whence he is, and yet he hath opened mine eyes.
31 Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him heareth he.
32 Since the world began, was it not heard, that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind.
33 If this man were not of God, he could have done nothing.
34 They answered, and said unto him, [l]Thou art altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? so they cast him out.
35 [m]Jesus heard that they had cast him out: and when he had found him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe in the Son of God?
36 He answered, and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe in him?
37 And Jesus said unto him, Both thou hast seen him, and he it is that talketh with thee.
38 Then he said, Lord, I believe, and worshipped him.
39 [n]And Jesus said, I am come unto [o]judgment into this world, that they [p]which see not, might see: and that they (B)which see, might be made blind.
40 And some of the Pharisees which were with him, heard these things, and said unto him, Are we blind also?
41 Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should not have sin: but now ye say, We see: therefore your sin remaineth.
Footnotes
- John 9:1 Sin is the beginning even of all bodily diseases, and yet doth it not follow, that God always respecteth their sins, whom he most sharply punisheth.
- John 9:3 Christ reasoneth here, as his disciples thought, which presuppose that there come no diseases but for sins only: whereupon he answereth that there was another cause of this man’s blindness, and that was, that God’s his work might be seen.
- John 9:4 The works of Christ are as it were a light, which lighten the darkness of the world.
- John 9:4 By (day) is meant the light, that is, the lightsome, doctrine of the heavenly truth: and by (night) is meant the darkness which cometh by the obscurity of the same doctrine.
- John 9:6 Christ healing the man born blind, by taking the sign of clay, and afterward the sign of the fountain of Siloam (which signifieth Sent) showeth that as he at the beginning made man, so doth he again restore both his body and soul: and yet so, that he himself cometh first of his own accord to heal us.
- John 9:8 A true image of all men, who as they are of nature blind, do neither themselves receive the light that is offered unto them, nor suffer it in others, and yet make a great ado amongst themselves.
- John 9:10 This is an Hebrew kind of speech, for they call a man’s eyes shut, when they cannot receive any light: And therefore they are said to have their eyes opened, which of blind men are made to see.
- John 9:16 Religion is not assaulted by any means more than by pretence of Religion: but the more it is pressed down, the more it riseth up.
- John 9:24 A solemn order, whereby men were constrained in old time to acknowledge their fault before God, as if they should say, Consider thou art before God, who knoweth the whole matter, and therefore see thou reverence his majesty, and do him this honor, rather to confess the whole matter openly, than to lie before him, Josh. 7:19; 1 Sam. 6:5.
- John 9:24 He is called a sinner in the Hebrew tongue, which is a wicked man, and maketh as it were an art of sins.
- John 9:28 Proud wickedness must needs at length break forth, which in vain lieth hid under a zeal of godliness.
- John 9:34 Thou art naught even from the cradle, and as we use to say, there is nothing in thee but sin.
- John 9:35 Most happy is their state, which are cast furthest out of the Church of the wicked (which proudly boast themselves of the name of the Church) that Christ may come never to them.
- John 9:39 Christ doth lighten all them by the preaching of the Gospel, which acknowledge their own darkness, but such as seem to themselves to see clearly enough, those he altogether blindeth: of which sort are they oftentimes, which have the highest place in the Church.
- John 9:39 With great power and authority, to do what is righteous and just: as if he said, These men take upon them to govern the people of God after their own lusts, as though they saw all things, and no man but they: but I will rule far otherwise than these men do: for whom they account for blind men, them I will lighten, and such as take themselves to be wisest, them will I drown in most gross darkness of ignorance.
- John 9:39 In these words (of seeing and not seeing) there is a secret taunting and check to the Pharisees: for they thought all men blind but themselves.
