医好生来瞎眼的

耶稣过去的时候,看见一个人生来是瞎眼的。 门徒问耶稣说:“拉比,这人生来是瞎眼的,是谁犯了罪?是这人呢,是他父母呢?” 耶稣回答说:“也不是这人犯了罪,也不是他父母犯了罪,是要在他身上显出神的作为来。 趁着白日,我们必须做那差我来者的工;黑夜将到,就没有人能做工了。 我在世上的时候,是世上的光。” 耶稣说了这话,就吐唾沫在地上,用唾沫和泥抹在瞎子的眼睛上, 对他说:“你往西罗亚池子里去洗。”(“西罗亚”翻出来就是“奉差遣”。)他去一洗,回头就看见了。 他的邻舍和那素常见他是讨饭的,就说:“这不是那从前坐着讨饭的人吗?” 有人说:“是他。”又有人说:“不是,却是像他。”他自己说:“是我。” 10 他们对他说:“你的眼睛是怎样开的呢?” 11 他回答说:“有一个人名叫耶稣,他和泥抹我的眼睛,对我说:‘你往西罗亚池子去洗。’我去一洗,就看见了。” 12 他们说:“那个人在哪里?”他说:“我不知道。”

法利赛人盘问医好的瞎子

13 他们把从前瞎眼的人带到法利赛人那里。 14 耶稣和泥开他眼睛的日子是安息日。 15 法利赛人也问他是怎么得看见的。瞎子对他们说:“他把泥抹在我的眼睛上,我去一洗,就看见了。” 16 法利赛人中有的说:“这个人不是从神来的,因为他不守安息日。”又有人说:“一个罪人怎能行这样的神迹呢?”他们就起了纷争。 17 他们又对瞎子说:“他既然开了你的眼睛,你说他是怎样的人呢?”他说:“是个先知。” 18 犹太人不信他从前是瞎眼、后来能看见的,等到叫了他的父母来, 19 问他们说:“这是你们的儿子吗?你们说他生来是瞎眼的,如今怎么能看见了呢?” 20 他父母回答说:“他是我们的儿子,生来就瞎眼,这是我们知道的。 21 至于他如今怎么能看见,我们却不知道。是谁开了他的眼睛,我们也不知道。他已经成了人,你们问他吧,他自己必能说。” 22 他父母说这话是怕犹太人,因为犹太人已经商议定了,若有认耶稣是基督的,要把他赶出会堂。 23 因此他父母说“他已经成了人,你们问他吧”。 24 所以法利赛人第二次叫了那从前瞎眼的人来,对他说:“你该将荣耀归给神,我们知道这人是个罪人。” 25 他说:“他是个罪人不是,我不知道。有一件事我知道:从前我是眼瞎的,如今能看了!” 26 他们就问他说:“他向你做什么?是怎么开了你的眼睛呢?” 27 他回答说:“我方才告诉你们,你们不听,为什么又要听呢?莫非你们也要做他的门徒吗?” 28 他们就骂他,说:“你是他的门徒!我们是摩西的门徒。 29 神对摩西说话是我们知道的,只是这个人,我们不知道他从哪里来!” 30 那人回答说:“他开了我的眼睛,你们竟不知道他从哪里来,这真是奇怪! 31 我们知道神不听罪人,唯有敬奉神、遵行他旨意的,神才听他。 32 从创世以来,未曾听见有人把生来是瞎子的眼睛开了。 33 这人若不是从神来的,什么也不能做。” 34 他们回答说:“你全然生在罪孽中,还要教训我们吗?”于是把他赶出去了。

耶稣收留被逐的瞎子

35 耶稣听说他们把他赶出去,后来遇见他,就说:“你信神的儿子吗?” 36 他回答说:“主啊,谁是神的儿子,叫我信他呢?” 37 耶稣说:“你已经看见他,现在和你说话的就是他。” 38 他说:“主啊,我信!”就拜耶稣。 39 耶稣说:“我为审判到这世上来,叫不能看见的可以看见,能看见的反瞎了眼。” 40 同他在那里的法利赛人听见这话,就说:“难道我们也瞎了眼吗?” 41 耶稣对他们说:“你们若瞎了眼,就没有罪了;但如今你们说‘我们能看见’,所以你们的罪还在。

医治盲人

耶稣在路上看见一个生来失明的人。 门徒问耶稣:“老师,这个人生下来便双目失明,是因为他犯了罪呢,还是他父母犯了罪呢?”

耶稣说:“不是他犯了罪,也不是他父母犯了罪,而是要在他身上彰显上帝的作为。 趁着白天,我们必须做差我来者的工作,黑夜一到,就没有人能工作了。 我在世上的时候,是世界的光。”

耶稣讲完后,便吐唾沫在地上,用唾沫和泥抹在那盲人的眼睛上, 对他说:“到西罗亚池去洗洗!”西罗亚是“奉差遣”的意思。那盲人照着去做,回来的时候已经能看见了。

他的邻居和从前见他讨饭的人说:“他不是那个常在这里讨饭的人吗?”

有人说:“是他。”有人说:“不是他,只是长得像他。”

他自己说:“我就是那个人。”

10 他们问:“你的眼睛是怎么好的?”

11 他回答说:“有一位叫耶稣的人和泥抹我的眼睛,叫我到西罗亚池子去洗。我照着去做,眼睛就能看见了。”

12 他们问:“那个人现在在哪里?”他说:“我不知道。”

盘问复明的盲人

13 他们就把这个从前失明的人带到法利赛人那里。 14 耶稣和泥开他眼睛的那天是安息日。 15 法利赛人也查问他的眼睛是怎么复明的。盲人便对他们说:“祂把泥抹在我的眼睛上,我去一洗,眼睛就看见了。”

16 有些法利赛人说:“那个人不是从上帝那里来的,因为祂不守安息日。”有些人却说:“如果祂是个罪人,又怎能行这样的神迹呢?”他们就争论起来。

17 于是,他们又问那个盲人:“既然祂开了你的眼睛,你认为祂是什么人?”

他说:“祂是先知。”

18 犹太人不相信他以前是瞎眼的,现在能看见了,便叫来他的父母, 19 问他们:“这是你们的儿子吗?你们不是说他生来就瞎眼吗?怎么现在能看见了?”

20 他父母回答说:“我们知道他是我们的儿子,生来双目失明。 21 至于他现在怎么能看见了,我们就不知道了。是谁医好了他,我们也不知道。他现在已经长大成人,你们可以去问他,他自己可以回答。”

22 他父母因为害怕那些犹太人,所以才这样说,因为那些犹太人早就商量好了,谁承认耶稣是基督,就把他赶出会堂。 23 因此他父母才说他已经长大成人,叫他们去问他。

24 法利赛人又把那个从前失明的人叫来,对他说:“你应该把荣耀归给上帝[a]!我们知道那个人是罪人。”

25 他说:“祂是不是罪人,我不知道;我只知道从前我是瞎眼的,现在能看见了。”

26 他们就问他:“祂向你做了些什么?祂是怎样医好你眼睛的?”

27 他回答说:“我已经告诉过你们了,你们不听,现在又问,难道你们也想做祂的门徒吗?”

28 他们就骂他:“你才是祂的门徒!我们是摩西的门徒。 29 我们知道上帝曾对摩西讲话,至于这个人,我们不知道祂是从哪里来的。”

30 那人说:“祂开了我的眼睛,你们竟不知道祂从哪里来,真是奇怪。 31 我们知道上帝不听罪人的祷告,只听那些敬拜祂、遵行祂旨意者的祷告。 32 从创世以来,从未听过有人能把天生失明的人医好。 33 如果这个人不是从上帝那里来的,就什么也不能做。”

34 法利赛人斥责他:“你这生来就深陷罪中的家伙,居然敢教导我们!”于是把他赶了出去。

35 耶稣听说了这事,后来祂找到这个人,对他说:“你信上帝的儿子吗?”

36 他说:“先生,谁是上帝的儿子?我要信祂。”

37 耶稣说:“你已经看见祂了,现在跟你说话的就是祂。”

38 他说:“主啊!我信!”他就敬拜耶稣。

39 耶稣说:“我为了审判来到这世界,使瞎眼的可以看见,使看得见的反成了瞎眼的。”

40 有些跟祂在一起的法利赛人听了这句话,就问:“难道我们也瞎了眼吗?”

41 耶稣说:“如果你们是瞎眼的,就没有罪了。但现在你们自称看得见,所以你们的罪还在。”

The man born blind

As Jesus was going along, he saw a man who had been blind from birth.

“Teacher,” his disciples asked him, “whose sin was it that caused this man to be born blind? Did he sin, or did his parents?”

“He didn’t sin,” replied Jesus, “nor did his parents. It happened so that God’s works could be seen in him. We must work the works of the one who sent me as long as it’s still daytime. The night is coming, and nobody can work then! As long as I’m in the world, I’m the light of the world.”

With these words, he spat on the ground, and made some mud out of his spittle. He spread the mud on the man’s eyes.

“Off you go,” he said to him, “and wash in the pool of Siloam” (which means “sent”). So he went off and washed. When he came back, he could see.

His neighbors, and the people who used to see him begging, remarked on this.

“Isn’t this the man,” they said, “who used to sit here and beg?”

“Yes, it’s him!” said some of them.

“No, it isn’t!” said some others. “It’s somebody like him.”

But the man himself spoke.

“Yes, it’s me,” he said.

10 “Well, then,” they said to him, “how did your eyes get opened?”

11 “It was the man called Jesus!” he replied. “He made some mud, then he spread it on my eyes, and told me to go to Siloam and wash. So I went, and washed, and I could see!”

12 “Where is he?” they asked.

“I don’t know,” he replied.

The blind man’s parents

13 They took the man who had been blind and brought him to the Pharisees. 14 (The day Jesus had made the mud, and opened his eyes, was a sabbath.) 15 So the Pharisees began to ask him again how he had come to see.

“He put some mud on my eyes,” he said, “and I washed, and now I can see!”

16 “The man can’t be from God,” some of the Pharisees began to say. “He doesn’t keep the sabbath!”

“Well, but,” replied some of the others, “how can a man who is a sinner do signs like these?”

And they were divided.

17 So they spoke to the blind man again.

“What have you got to say about him?” they asked. “He opened your eyes, after all.”

“He’s a prophet,” he replied.

18 The Judaeans didn’t believe that he really had been blind and now could see. So they called the parents of the newly sighted man, 19 and put the question to them.

“Is this man really your son,” they asked, “the one you say was born blind? How is it that he can now see?”

20 “Well,” replied his parents, “we know that he is indeed our son, and that he was born blind. 21 But we don’t know how it is that he can now see, and we don’t know who it was that opened his eyes. Ask him! He’s grown up. He can speak for himself.”

22 His parents said this because they were afraid of the Judaeans. The Judaeans, you see, had already decided that if anyone declared that Jesus was the Messiah, they should be put out of the synagogue. 23 That’s why his parents said, “He’s grown up, so you should ask him.”

Is Jesus from God?

24 So for the second time they called the man who had been blind.

“Give God the glory!” they said. “We know that this man is a sinner.”

25 “I don’t know whether he’s a sinner or not,” replied the man. “All I know is this: I used to be blind, and now I can see.”

26 “What did he do to you?” they asked. “How did he open your eyes?”

27 “I told you already,” replied the man, “and you didn’t listen. Why d’you want to hear it again? You don’t want to become his disciples too, do you?”

28 “You’re his disciple,” they scoffed, “but we are Moses’s disciples. 29 We know that God spoke to Moses, but we don’t know where this man comes from.”

30 “Well, here’s a fine thing!” replied the man. “You don’t know where he’s from, and he opened my eyes! 31 We know that God doesn’t listen to sinners; but if anyone is devout, and does his will, he listens to them. 32 It’s never, ever been heard of before that someone should open the eyes of a person born blind. 33 If this man wasn’t from God, he couldn’t do anything.”

34 “You were born in sin from top to toe,” they replied, “and are you going to start teaching us?” And they threw him out.

Seeing and not seeing

35 Jesus heard that they had thrown the man out. He found him and spoke to him.

“Do you believe in the son of man?” he asked.

36 “Who is he, sir,” asked the man, “so that I can believe in him?”

37 “You have seen him,” replied Jesus. “In fact, it’s the person who’s talking to you.”

38 “Yes, sir,” said the man; “I do believe.” And he worshiped him.

39 “I came into the world for judgment,” said Jesus, “so that those who can’t see would see, and so that those who can see would become blind.”

40 Some of the Pharisees were nearby, and they heard this.

“So!” they said. “We’re blind too, are we?”

41 “If you were blind,” replied Jesus, “you wouldn’t be guilty of sin. But now, because you say, ‘We can see,’ your sin remains.”
