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.

Jesus Heals a Man Born Blind
9 As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth. 2 And his disciples asked him, (A)“Rabbi, (B)who sinned, (C)this man or (D)his parents, that he was born blind?” 3 Jesus answered, “It was not that this man sinned, or his parents, but (E)that the works of God might be displayed in him. 4 We must (F)work the works of him who sent me (G)while it is day; night is coming, when no one can work. 5 As long as I am in the world, (H)I am the light of the world.” 6 Having said these things, (I)he spit on the ground and made mud with the saliva. (J)Then he anointed the man's eyes with the mud 7 and said to him, “Go, wash in (K)the pool of Siloam” (which means Sent). So he went and washed and (L)came back seeing.
8 The neighbors and those who had seen him before as a beggar were saying, (M)“Is this not the man who used to sit and beg?” 9 Some said, “It is he.” Others said, “No, but he is like him.” He kept saying, “I am the man.” 10 So they said to him, “Then how were your eyes opened?” 11 He answered, (N)“The man called Jesus made mud and anointed my eyes and said to me, ‘Go to Siloam and wash.’ So I went and washed and received my sight.” 12 They said to him, “Where is he?” He said, “I do not know.”
13 They brought to the Pharisees the man who had formerly been blind. 14 (O)Now it was a Sabbath day when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes. 15 (P)So the Pharisees again asked him how he had received his sight. And he said to them, “He put mud on my eyes, and I washed, and I see.” 16 Some of the Pharisees said, “This man is not (Q)from God, (R)for he does not keep the Sabbath.” But others said, (S)“How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?” And (T)there was a division among them. 17 So they said again to the blind man, “What do you say about him, since he has opened your eyes?” He said, (U)“He is a prophet.”
18 (V)The Jews[a] did not believe that he had been blind and had received his sight, until they called the parents of the man who had received his sight 19 and asked them, “Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then does he now see?” 20 His parents answered, “We know that this is our son and that he was born blind. 21 But how he now sees we do not know, nor do we know who opened his eyes. Ask him; he is of age. He will speak for himself.” 22 (His parents said these things (W)because they feared the Jews, for (X)the Jews had already agreed that if anyone should (Y)confess Jesus[b] to be Christ, (Z)he was to be put out of the synagogue. 23 Therefore his parents said, (AA)“He is of age; ask him.”)
24 So for the second time they called the man who had been blind and said to him, (AB)“Give glory to God. We know that (AC)this man is a sinner.” 25 He answered, “Whether he is a sinner I do not know. One thing I do know, that though I (AD)was blind, now I see.” 26 They said to him, “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?” 27 He answered them, (AE)“I have told you already, and you would not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you also want to become his disciples?” 28 And they reviled him, saying, “You are his disciple, but (AF)we are disciples of Moses. 29 We know that God has spoken to Moses, but as for this man, (AG)we do not know where he comes from.” 30 The man answered, “Why, this is (AH)an amazing thing! (AI)You do not know where he comes from, and yet he opened my eyes. 31 We know that (AJ)God does not listen to sinners, but (AK)if anyone is a worshiper of God and does his will, God listens to him. 32 Never since the world began has it been heard that anyone opened the eyes of a man born blind. 33 (AL)If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.” 34 They answered him, (AM)“You were born in utter sin, and would you teach us?” And they (AN)cast him out.
35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out, and having found him he said, “Do you believe in (AO)the Son of Man?”[c] 36 He answered, (AP)“And who is he, sir, that I may believe in him?” 37 Jesus said to him, “You have seen him, and (AQ)it is he who is speaking to you.” 38 He said, “Lord, I believe,” and he worshiped him. 39 Jesus said, (AR)“For judgment I came into this world, (AS)that those who do not see may see, and (AT)those who see may become blind.” 40 Some of the Pharisees near him heard these things, and said to him, (AU)“Are we also blind?” 41 Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, (AV)you would have no guilt;[d] but now that you say, ‘We see,’ your guilt remains.
ヨハネの福音書 9

ただ神の力が現されるため
9 さて、道を歩いていた時のこと、イエスは生まれつきの盲人をごらんになりました。 2 そこで、弟子たちが尋ねました。「先生。どうしてこの人は、生まれつき目が見えないのですか。本人が罪を犯したからですか。それとも両親ですか。」 3 「いや、そのどちらでもありません。ただ神の力が現されるためです。 4 わたしたちは、わたしをお遣わしになった方に命じられた仕事を、急いでやり遂げなければなりません。もうすぐ夜が来ます。そうしたら、もう仕事はできないのですから。 5 しかし、まだこの世にわたしがいる間は、わたしが光となります。」 6 こう言われると、イエスは地面につばをして泥を作り、それを盲人の目に塗って、 7 言われました。「さあ、シロアムの池に行って洗い落としなさい」〔「シロアム」とは、「遣わされた者」の意味〕。イエスが言われたとおりにすると、どうでしょう。彼は見えるようになって戻って来たではありませんか。 8 近所の人や、彼が盲目の物ごいだったことを知っている人は仰天し、「これが、あの人かい」と口をそろえて言いました。 9 ほかの人は、「そうだ」と言う人もいれば、「いや、あいつのはずはない。だが実によく似ている」と言う人もいました。すると当の本人が、「何を言っているんだ。おれだよ」と言いました。 10 人々はあっけにとられながらも、「いったいどうしたのだ。どうやって見えるようになったのか」と矢つぎばやに尋ねました。 11 その男は答えました。「イエスという方が泥をこねて目に塗り、『シロアムの池に行って、泥を洗い落としなさい』と言われたのさ。それでそのとおりにすると、見えるようになったんだよ。」 12 「その人は今どこにいるんだ。」「さあ、知らないな。」
13 人々は、男をパリサイ人たちのところへ連れて行きました。 14 ところで、この日は安息日でした。 15 パリサイ人たちにどうして目が見えるようになったのかを尋ねられて、男はそのいきさつを、くわしく話しました。 16 パリサイ人のある者は、「そのイエスという者は、神から遣わされた者ではない。安息日に仕事なんかしたんだから」と断言しました。しかし、「罪人にすぎない普通の人間に、こんな奇跡が行えるだろうか……」と疑問を投げかける者もいます。意見は真っ二つに分かれました。 17 しかたなく、その盲目だった男に、「おまえの目を開けてくれた人のことをどう思うか」と聞きました。「きっと神様が遣わした預言者です」と男は答えました。 18 しかし、ユダヤ人の指導者たちは、盲目だった男が見えるようになったことを、どうしても信じようとはしません。とうとう両親まで呼び出し、 19 確かめることにしました。「この男は息子だな。ほんとうに生まれつき目が見えなかったのか。だったら、どうして見えるようになったのだ。」 20 両親は答えました。「はい、確かに息子でございます。この子は生まれつき目が見えませんでした。 21 けれども、どうして見えるようになったのか、どなたがこれの目を開けてくださったのかは、少しも存じません。どうぞ本人からじかに聞いてみてください。もう一人前の大人ですから、自分で説明できるでしょう。」 22-23 こう言ったのは、ユダヤ人の指導者たちがこわかったからです。指導者たちはすでに、イエスをキリストと告白する者は、だれかれの区別なく会堂から追放すると公表していたのです。
24 指導者たちは、男をもう一度呼び寄せ、きつく言い渡しました。「イエスなどではなく、神をあがめなさい。あいつは悪党だ。」 25 「さあ、あの方が善人か悪人かは、私にはわかりません。ただ、これだけははっきりしています。私は今まで目が見えなかったのに、今は見えることです。」 26 「だが、あいつは何をした？ どうやっておまえの目を開けた？」 27 男はまたかと腹を立て、大声で言いました。「そのことは、もう話したではありませんか。お聞きにならなかったのですか。もう一度言えとは、どういうことでしょう。あの方の弟子にでもなりたいのですか。」
28 こう言われて、指導者たちは男をののしりました。「おまえこそあいつの弟子のくせに。われわれはモーセの弟子だ。 29 神はまちがいなくモーセにお語りになった。しかし、あいつはどこの馬の骨だかわからない。」
30 「これは驚きました。あの方は盲人の目を開けることができるんですよ。なのに、あの方のことは何も知らないとおっしゃる。 31 神様は悪人の言うことはお聞きになりません。しかし、神様を礼拝し、お心にかなうことを行う者には、耳を傾けてくださるんじゃありませんか。 32 世の初めからこのかた、生まれつきの盲人の目を開けた人など、いたためしがありません。 33 神様から遣わされた方でなければ、こんなことはできないはずです。」 34 こうまで言われて、彼らは怒りを爆発させました。「このろくでなしめ！ われわれを教えようというのか！」とどなりつけたあげく、男を外に追い出してしまいました。
35 そのいきさつを伝え聞いたイエスは、男を捜し、見つけ出されると、「あなたはメシヤを信じますか」とお聞きになりました。 36 「先生。どなたがメシヤ様なのでしょうか。教えてください。ぜひ信じたいのです。」 37 「もうその人に会っているのですよ。あなたと話しているわたしがメシヤなのです。」 38 「主よ。信じます。」男はそう言って、イエスを礼拝しました。 39 するとイエスは言われました。「わたしがこの世に来たのは、心の目の見えない人を見えるようにするため、また、見えると思い込んでいる人に、実は盲目だということをわからせるためなのです。」 40 ちょうどその場に居合わせたパリサイ人たちが、けげんな顔で尋ねました。「じゃあ、私たちも盲目だと言うのか。」 41 「もしあなたがたが盲目だったら、罪に問われないですんだでしょう。しかし、何もかもわかっているとあくまで言いはるので、あなたがたの罪はそのまま残るのです。」
