治好生來失明的人

耶穌往前走的時候,看見一個生來就失明的人。 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?」 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。 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。 我在世上的時候,是世上的光。」 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, 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。 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?」 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。」

And as he passed by, he saw a man blind from his birth. And his disciples asked him, saying, Rabbi, who sinned, this man, or his parents, that he should be born blind? Jesus answered, Neither did this man sin, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him. We must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. When I am in the world, I am the light of the world. When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, [a]and anointed his eyes with the clay, and said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam (which is by interpretation, Sent). He went away therefore, and washed, and came seeing. The neighbors therefore, and they that saw him aforetime, that he was a beggar, said, Is not this he that sat and begged? Others said, It is he: others said, No, but he is like him. He said, I am he. 10 They said therefore unto him, How then were thine eyes opened? 11 He answered, The man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to Siloam, and wash: so I went away and washed, and I received sight. 12 And they said unto him, Where is he? He saith, I know not.

13 They bring to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind. 14 Now it was the sabbath on the day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes. 15 Again therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he received his sight. And he said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and I see. 16 Some therefore of the Pharisees said, This man is not from God, because he keepeth not the sabbath. But others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such signs? And there was a division among them. 17 They say therefore unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, in that he opened thine eyes? And he said, He is a prophet. 18 The Jews therefore did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and had received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight, 19 and asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then doth he now see? 20 His parents answered and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind: 21 but how he now seeth, we know not; or who opened his eyes, we know not: ask him; he is of age; he shall speak for himself. 22 These things said his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man should confess him to be Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue. 23 Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him. 24 So they called a second time the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give glory to God: we know that this man is a sinner. 25 He therefore answered, Whether he is a sinner, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see. 26 They said therefore unto him, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eyes? 27 He answered them, I told you even now, and ye did not hear; wherefore would ye hear it again? would ye also become his disciples? 28 And they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are disciples of Moses. 29 We know that God hath spoken unto Moses: but as for this man, we know not whence he is. 30 The man answered and said unto them, Why, herein is the marvel, that ye know not whence he is, and yet he opened mine eyes. 31 We know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and do his will, him he heareth. 32 Since the world began it was never heard that any one opened the eyes of a man born blind. 33 If this man were not from 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 finding him, he said, Dost thou believe on [b]the Son of God? 36 He answered and said, And who is he, Lord, that I may believe on him? 37 Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and he it is that speaketh with thee. 38 And he said, Lord, I believe. And he [c]worshipped him. 39 And Jesus said, For judgment came I into this world, that they that see not may see; and that they that see may become blind. 40 Those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and said unto him, Are we also blind? 41 Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye would have no sin: but now ye say, We see: your sin remaineth.

A Man Born Blind Receives Sight

Now as Jesus passed by, He saw a man who was blind from birth. And His disciples asked Him, saying, “Rabbi, (A)who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”

Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, (B)but that the works of God should be revealed in him. (C)I[a] must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is (D)day; the night is coming when no one can work. As long as I am in the world, (E)I am the light of the world.”

When He had said these things, (F)He spat on the ground and made clay with the saliva; and He anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay. And He said to him, “Go, wash (G)in the pool of Siloam” (which is translated, Sent). So (H)he went and washed, and came back seeing.

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

Some said, “This is he.” Others said, [c]“He is like him.”

He said, “I am he.

10 Therefore they said to him, “How were your eyes opened?”

11 He answered and said, (I)“A Man called Jesus made clay and anointed my eyes and said to me, ‘Go to [d]the pool of Siloam and wash.’ So I went and washed, and I received sight.”

12 Then they said to him, “Where is He?”

He said, “I do not know.”

The Pharisees Excommunicate the Healed Man

13 They brought him who formerly was blind to the Pharisees. 14 Now it was a Sabbath when Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes. 15 Then the Pharisees also asked him again how he had received his sight. He said to them, “He put clay on my eyes, and I washed, and I see.”

16 Therefore some of the Pharisees said, “This Man is not from God, because He does not [e]keep the Sabbath.”

Others said, (J)“How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?” And (K)there was a division among them.

17 They said to the blind man again, “What do you say about Him because He opened your eyes?”

He said, (L)“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 who had received his sight. 19 And they asked them, saying, “Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then does 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 sees we do not know, or who opened his eyes we do not know. He is of age; ask him. He will speak for himself.” 22 His parents said these things because (M)they feared the Jews, for the Jews had agreed already that if anyone confessed that He was Christ, he (N)would be put out of the synagogue. 23 Therefore his parents said, “He is of age; ask him.”

24 So they again called the man who was blind, and said to him, (O)“Give God the glory! (P)We know that this Man is a sinner.”

25 He answered and said, “Whether He is a sinner or not I do not know. One thing I know: that though I was blind, now I see.”

26 Then they said to him again, “What did He do to you? How did He open your eyes?”

27 He answered them, “I told you already, and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you also want to become His disciples?”

28 Then they reviled him and said, “You are His disciple, but we are Moses’ disciples. 29 We know that God (Q)spoke to (R)Moses; as for this fellow, (S)we do not know where He is from.”

30 The man answered and said to them, (T)“Why, this is a marvelous thing, that you do not know where He is from; yet He has opened my eyes! 31 Now we know that (U)God does not hear sinners; but if anyone is a worshiper of God and does His will, He hears him. 32 Since the world began it has been unheard of that anyone opened the eyes of one who was born blind. 33 (V)If this Man were not from God, He could do nothing.”

34 They answered and said to him, (W)“You were completely born in sins, and are you teaching us?” And they [f]cast him out.

True Vision and True Blindness

35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when He had (X)found him, He said to him, “Do you (Y)believe in (Z)the Son of [g]God?”

36 He answered and said, “Who is He, Lord, that I may believe in Him?”

37 And Jesus said to him, “You have both seen Him and (AA)it is He who is talking with you.”

38 Then he said, “Lord, I believe!” And he (AB)worshiped Him.

39 And Jesus said, (AC)“For judgment I have come into this world, (AD)that those who do not see may see, and that those who see may be made blind.”

40 Then some of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these words, (AE)and said to Him, “Are we blind also?”

41 Jesus said to them, (AF)“If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say, ‘We see.’ Therefore your sin remains.
