Pinagaling ni Jesus ang Isang Bulag
9 Sa paglalakad ni Jesus, nakita niya ang isang lalaking bulag mula pa nang ipanganak. 2 Tinanong siya ng kanyang mga alagad, “Rabi, sino po ang nagkasala at ipinanganak na bulag ang lalaking ito, siya ba o ang kanyang mga magulang?”
3 Sumagot si Jesus, “Ipinanganak siyang bulag, hindi dahil sa nagkasala siya, o ang kanyang mga magulang, kundi upang mahayag ang kapangyarihan ng Diyos sa pamamagitan niya. 4 Kailangang gawin natin[a] ang mga ipinapagawa ng nagsugo sa akin[b] habang may araw pa; darating ang gabi, kung kailan wala nang makakapagtrabaho. 5 Habang(A) ako'y nasa sanlibutan, ako ang ilaw ng sanlibutan.”
6 Pagkasabi nito, dumura si Jesus sa lupa at gumawa ng putik. Pagkatapos, ipinahid niya ito sa mata ng bulag. 7 Sinabi ni Jesus sa bulag, “Pumunta ka sa imbakan ng tubig sa Siloe at maghilamos ka roon.” (Ang kahulugan ng salitang Siloe ay Sinugo.) Pumunta nga ang bulag, naghilamos doon, at pagbalik niya ay nakakakita na.
8 Sinabi ng mga kapitbahay niya at ng mga nakakita sa kanya noong siya'y namamalimos pa, “Hindi ba iyan ang lalaking dating nakaupo at namamalimos?”
9 Sumagot ang ilan, “Iyan nga!” Sabi naman ng iba, “Hindi! Kamukha lang.” Kaya't nagsalita ang dating bulag, “Ako nga po iyon.”
10 “Paano kang nakakita?” tanong nila.
11 Sumagot siya, “Ang lalaking tinatawag na Jesus ay gumawa ng putik at ipinahid iyon sa aking mata. Pagkatapos, sinabi niya sa akin, ‘Pumunta ka sa Siloe at maghilamos.’ Pumunta nga ako doon at naghilamos, at nakakita na ako!”
12 “Nasaan siya?” tanong nila sa kanya. “Hindi ko alam,” sagot niya.
Nagsiyasat ang mga Pariseo tungkol sa Pagpapagaling
13 Dinala ng mga tao sa mga Pariseo ang dating bulag. 14 Araw ng Pamamahinga nang gumawa si Jesus ng putik at nang pinagaling niya ang bulag. 15 Tinanong din siya ng mga Pariseo kung paano siya nakakita. Kaya't sinabi niya sa kanila, “Pinahiran niya ng putik ang aking mga mata, ako'y naghilamos at ngayo'y nakakakita na ako.”
16 Ang sabi ng ilang Pariseo, “Hindi maaaring mula sa Diyos ang taong iyon, sapagkat hindi niya ipinapangilin ang Araw ng Pamamahinga.” Ngunit sinabi naman ng iba, “Paanong makakagawa ng ganitong mga himala ang isang makasalanan?” At hindi sila magkaisa.
17 Kaya't tinanong nilang muli ang dating bulag, “At ikaw, ano naman ang masasabi mo tungkol sa kanya, dahil pinagaling niya ang iyong mga mata?”
“Isa siyang propeta!” sagot niya.
18 Ayaw maniwala ng mga Judio na siya'y talagang dating bulag na ngayo'y nakakakita na kaya't ipinatawag nila ang kanyang mga magulang. 19 “Anak nga ba ninyo ito? Talaga bang siya'y ipinanganak na bulag? Ano'ng nangyari at nakakakita na siya ngayon?” tanong nila.
20 Sumagot ang kanyang mga magulang, “Alam naming anak namin siya at alam din naming siya'y ipinanganak na bulag. 21 Ngunit hindi po namin alam kung ano ang nangyari at nakakakita na siya ngayon, o kung sino ang nagpagaling sa kanya. Siya na po ang tanungin ninyo. Nasa hustong gulang na siya. Makakapagsalita na siya para sa kanyang sarili.”
22 Ganito ang sinabi ng kanyang mga magulang dahil sa kanilang takot sa mga pinuno ng mga Judio. Sapagkat pinagkaisahan na ng mga Judio na ang sinumang magpahayag na si Jesus ang Cristo ay ititiwalag sa sinagoga. 23 Ito ang dahilan kung bakit sinabi ng kanyang mga magulang, “Siya'y nasa hustong gulang na, siya ang tanungin ninyo.”
24 Muli nilang ipinatawag ang dating bulag at sinabi sa kanya, “Sa ngalan ng Diyos, magsabi ka ng totoo. Alam naming ang taong iyon ay makasalanan.”
25 Sumagot siya, “Hindi ko po alam kung siya'y makasalanan, o hindi. Isang bagay po ang alam ko; ako'y dating bulag, subalit ngayo'y nakakakita na.”
26 “Ano ang ginawa niya sa iyo? Paano niya pinagaling ang iyong mga mata?” tanong nila.
27 Sumagot siya, “Sinabi ko na po sa inyo, at ayaw naman ninyo akong paniwalaan. Bakit gusto ninyong marinig muli? Nais ba ninyong maging alagad din niya?”
28 At siya'y kanilang nilait, “Ikaw ang alagad niya! Kami'y mga alagad ni Moises. 29 Nalalaman naming nagsalita ang Diyos kay Moises ngunit ang taong iyon, ni hindi namin alam kung saan siya nanggaling!”
30 Sumagot ang lalaki, “Iyan nga po ang nakapagtataka! Hindi ninyo alam kung saan siya nanggaling, gayunma'y pinagaling niya ang aking mga mata. 31 Alam nating hindi pinapakinggan ng Diyos ang mga makasalanan, ngunit pinapakinggan niya ang mga sumasamba sa kanya at sumusunod sa kanyang kalooban. 32 Mula pa nang likhain ang mundo ay wala pa tayong nabalitaang nakapagpagaling ng mata ng taong ipinanganak na bulag. 33 Wala pong magagawa ang taong iyon kung siya'y hindi mula sa Diyos!”
34 Sumagot sila, “Ipinanganak kang lubos na makasalanan at ngayo'y nais mo pa kaming turuan!” At siya'y kanilang itiniwalag.
Mga Bulag sa Espiritu
35 Nabalitaan ni Jesus na ang lalaking pinagaling niya ay itiniwalag ng mga Pariseo. Kaya't nang matagpuan niya ito ay kanyang tinanong, “Sumasampalataya ka ba sa Anak ng Tao?”
36 Sumagot ang lalaki, “Sino po ba siya, Ginoo? Sabihin ninyo sa akin upang ako'y sumampalataya sa kanya.”
37 “Siya'y nakita mo na. Siya ang kausap mo ngayon,” wika ni Jesus.
38 “Sumasampalataya po ako, Panginoon!” sabi ng lalaki. At sinamba niya si Jesus.
39 Sinabi ni Jesus, “Naparito ako sa mundong ito upang humatol, at nang sa gayo'y makakita ang mga bulag at mabulag naman ang mga nakakakita.”
40 Narinig ito ng ilang Pariseong naroon at siya'y kanilang tinanong, “Ibig mo bang sabihi'y mga bulag din kami?”
41 Sumagot si Jesus, “Kung kayo nga'y bulag, hindi sana kayo hahatulang maysala. Ngunit dahil sinasabi ninyong nakakakita kayo, nananatili kayong maysala.”
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。」

Jesus Heals a Man Born Blind
9 As Jesus ·was walking along [passed by; went along], he saw a man who had been born blind. 2 His ·followers [disciples] asked him, “·Teacher [L Rabbi], whose sin caused this man to be born blind—his own sin or his parents’ sin?” [C The disciples, like the friends of Job, viewed suffering as the result of a person’s own sins.]
3 Jesus answered, “It is not this man’s sin or his parents’ sin that made him blind. This man was born blind so that God’s ·power [L works] could be ·shown [displayed; revealed; manifest] in him. 4 While it is daytime, we must continue doing the work of the One who sent me. Night is coming [C Jesus’ death], when no one can work. 5 While I am in the world, I am the light of the world [see 8:12].”
6 After Jesus said this, he spit on the ground and made some mud with ·it [L the saliva] and ·put [spread; anointed] the mud on the man’s eyes [C the significance of the mud made with spit is unclear]. 7 Then he told the man, “Go and wash in the Pool of Siloam.” (Siloam [C from a Hebrew word] means Sent.) So the man went, washed, and came back seeing.
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?”
9 Some said, “He is the one,” but others said, “No, he only looks like him.”
The man himself said, “I am the man.”
10 [L Therefore] They asked him, “How [L then] ·did you get your sight [L were your eyes opened]?”
11 He answered, “The man named Jesus made some mud and ·put [spread; anointed] it on my eyes. Then he told me to go to Siloam and wash. So I went and washed, and then I could see.”
12 They asked him, “Where is this man?”
“I don’t know,” he answered.
Pharisees Question the Healing
13 Then the people took to the Pharisees [C a religious party which strictly observed OT laws and later customs] the man who had been blind. 14 The day Jesus had made mud and healed his eyes was a Sabbath day [C on which no work was allowed]. 15 So now the Pharisees asked the man, “How did you get your sight?”
He answered, “He put mud on my eyes, I washed, and now I see.”
16 So some of the Pharisees were saying, “This man does not keep the Sabbath day [C according to rabbinic tradition neither kneading nor healing were permitted on the Sabbath], so he is not from God.”
But others said, “·A man who is a sinner can’t [L How can a man who is a sinner…?] do ·miracles [L signs] like these.” So ·they could not agree with each other [L there was a division among them].
17 [L Therefore; So; Then] They asked the man again, “What do you say about him, since it was your eyes he opened?”
The man answered, “He is a prophet.”
18 ·These leaders [L The Jews; C the Pharisees] did not believe that he had been blind and could now see again. So they sent for the ·man’s parents [L parents of the man who could now see] 19 and asked them, “Is this your son who you say was born blind? Then how does he now see?”
20 [L Therefore; So] His parents answered, “We know that this is our son and that he was born blind. 21 But we don’t know how he can now see. We don’t know who opened his eyes. Ask him. He is old enough to speak for himself [C of legal age to give testimony].” 22 His parents said this because they were afraid of the ·elders [Jewish leaders; L Jews], who had already decided that anyone who ·said [confessed; acknowledged] Jesus was the ·Christ [Messiah] would be ·avoided [L put out of the synagogue; C an act of expulsion or excommunication]. 23 That is why his parents said, “He is old enough. Ask him.”
24 So for the second time, they called the man who had been blind. They said, “·You should give God the glory by telling the truth [L Give God the glory; C see Josh. 7:19 where this phrase is a command to tell the truth]. We know that this man is a sinner.”
25 [L So; Then] He answered, “I don’t know if he is a sinner. One thing I do know: I was blind, and now I see.”
26 [L So; Then] They asked, “What did he do to you? How did he ·make you see again [L open your eyes]?”
27 He answered them, “I already told you, and you didn’t listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you want to become his ·followers [disciples] too?”
28 Then they ·insulted [ridiculed; reviled] him and said, “You are his ·follower [disciple], but we are ·followers [disciples] of Moses. 29 We know that God spoke to Moses [Ex. 33:11; Num. 12:8; Deut. 34:10], but we don’t even know where this man comes from.”
30 The man answered, “This is a very ·strange [astonishing; marvelous] thing. You don’t know where he comes from, and yet he opened my eyes. 31 We all know that God does not listen to sinners, but he listens to anyone who ·worships [is devout; is godfearing] and ·obeys him [L does his will]. 32 Nobody has ·ever [or since the beginning of the world; L from the age/eternity] heard of anyone giving sight to a man born blind. 33 If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.”
34 They answered, “You were born ·full of sin [or in utter sinfulness]! Are you trying to teach us?” And they threw him out [C of the synagogue; an act of excommunication].
Spiritual Blindness
35 When Jesus heard that they had ·thrown [cast; driven] him out [C of the synagogue], Jesus found him and said, “Do you ·believe [trust] in the Son of Man [C a title for the Messiah; Dan. 7:13–14]?”
36 He asked, “Who is ·the Son of Man [L he], sir, so that I can ·believe [trust] in him?”
37 Jesus said to him, “You have seen him. ·The Son of Man [L He] is the one talking with you.”
38 He said, “·Lord [C the same word is rendered “sir” in v. 36, but here may have a more solemn sense], I ·believe [trust]!” Then the man ·worshiped [prostrated himself before] Jesus.
39 Jesus said, “I came into this world ·so that the world could be judged [L for judgment]. I came so that the blind would see and so that those who see will become blind.” [C Those who acknowledge they are spiritually blind will see the truth; and those who think they see spiritually (the Jewish religious leaders) are actually blind; Is. 6:10; 42:19.]
40 Some of the Pharisees who were nearby heard Jesus say this and asked, “Are you saying we are blind, too?”
41 Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you would not be guilty of sin. But since you keep saying you see, your ·guilt [or sin] remains.”
