A cura de um cego de nascença
9 E, passando Jesus, viu um homem cego de nascença. 2 E os seus discípulos lhe perguntaram, dizendo: Rabi, quem pecou, este ou seus pais, para que nascesse cego? 3 Jesus respondeu: Nem ele pecou, nem seus pais; mas foi assim para que se manifestem nele as obras de Deus. 4 Convém que eu faça as obras daquele que me enviou, enquanto é dia; a noite vem, quando ninguém pode trabalhar. 5 Enquanto estou no mundo, sou a luz do mundo. 6 Tendo dito isso, cuspiu na terra, e, com a saliva, fez lodo, e untou com o lodo os olhos do cego. 7 E disse-lhe: Vai, lava-te no tanque de Siloé (que significa o Enviado). Foi, pois, e lavou-se, e voltou vendo. 8 Então, os vizinhos e aqueles que dantes tinham visto que era cego diziam: Não é este aquele que estava assentado e mendigava? 9 Uns diziam: É este. E outros: Parece-se com ele. Ele dizia: Sou eu. 10 Diziam-lhe, pois: Como se te abriram os olhos? 11 Ele respondeu e disse-lhes: O homem chamado Jesus fez lodo, e untou-me os olhos, e disse-me: Vai ao tanque de Siloé e lava-te. Então, fui, e lavei-me, e vi. 12 Disseram-lhe, pois: Onde está ele? Respondeu: Não sei.
13 Levaram, pois, aos fariseus o que dantes era cego. 14 E era sábado quando Jesus fez o lodo e lhe abriu os olhos. 15 Tornaram, pois, também os fariseus a perguntar-lhe como vira, e ele lhes disse: Pôs-me lodo sobre os olhos, lavei-me e vejo. 16 Então, alguns dos fariseus diziam: Este homem não é de Deus, pois não guarda o sábado. Diziam outros: Como pode um homem pecador fazer tais sinais? E havia dissensão entre eles. 17 Tornaram, pois, a dizer ao cego: Tu que dizes daquele que te abriu os olhos? E ele respondeu: Que é profeta.
18 Os judeus, porém, não creram que ele tivesse sido cego e que agora visse, enquanto não chamaram os pais do que agora via. 19 E perguntaram-lhes, dizendo: É este o vosso filho, que vós dizeis ter nascido cego? Como, pois, vê agora? 20 Seus pais responderam e disseram-lhes: Sabemos que este é nosso filho e que nasceu cego, 21 mas como agora vê não sabemos; ou quem lhe tenha aberto os olhos não sabemos; tem idade; perguntai-lho a ele mesmo, e ele falará por si mesmo. 22 Seus pais disseram isso, porque temiam os judeus, porquanto já os judeus tinham resolvido que, se alguém confessasse ser ele o Cristo, fosse expulso da sinagoga. 23 Por isso, é que seus pais disseram: Tem idade; perguntai-lho a ele mesmo.
24 Chamaram, pois, pela segunda vez o homem que tinha sido cego e disseram-lhe: Dá glória a Deus; nós sabemos que esse homem é pecador. 25 Respondeu ele, pois, e disse: Se é pecador, não sei; uma coisa sei, e é que, havendo eu sido cego, agora vejo. 26 E tornaram a dizer-lhe: Que te fez ele? Como te abriu os olhos? 27 Respondeu-lhes: Já vo-lo disse e não ouvistes; para que o quereis tornar a ouvir? Quereis vós, porventura, fazer-vos também seus discípulos? 28 Então, o injuriaram e disseram: Discípulo dele sejas tu; nós, porém, somos discípulos de Moisés. 29 Nós bem sabemos que Deus falou a Moisés, mas este não sabemos de onde é. 30 O homem respondeu e disse-lhes: Nisto, pois, está a maravilha: que vós não saibais de onde ele é e me abrisse os olhos. 31 Ora, nós sabemos que Deus não ouve a pecadores; mas, se alguém é temente a Deus e faz a sua vontade, a esse ouve. 32 Desde o princípio do mundo, nunca se ouviu que alguém abrisse os olhos a um cego de nascença. 33 Se este não fosse de Deus, nada poderia fazer. 34 Responderam eles e disseram-lhe: Tu és nascido todo em pecados e nos ensinas a nós? E expulsaram-no.
35 Jesus ouviu que o tinham expulsado e, encontrando-o, disse-lhe: Crês tu no Filho de Deus? 36 Ele respondeu e disse: Quem é ele, Senhor, para que nele creia? 37 E Jesus lhe disse: Tu já o tens visto, e é aquele que fala contigo. 38 Ele disse: Creio, Senhor. E o adorou. 39 E disse-lhe Jesus: Eu vim a este mundo para juízo, a fim de que os que não veem vejam e os que veem sejam cegos. 40 Aqueles dos fariseus que estavam com ele, ouvindo isso, disseram-lhe: Também nós somos cegos? 41 Disse-lhes Jesus: Se fôsseis cegos, não teríeis pecado; mas como agora dizeis: Vemos, por isso, o vosso pecado permanece.
John 9
New King James Version
A Man Born Blind Receives Sight
9 Now as Jesus passed by, He saw a man who was blind from birth. 2 And His disciples asked Him, saying, “Rabbi, (A)who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”
3 Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, (B)but that the works of God should be revealed in him. 4 (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. 5 As long as I am in the world, (E)I am the light of the world.”
6 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. 7 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.
8 Therefore the neighbors and those who previously had seen that he was [b]blind said, “Is not this he who sat and begged?”
9 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.
