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。

A Man Born Blind Is Given Sight

And as he[a] went away, he saw a man blind from birth. And his disciples asked him, saying, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he should be born blind?” Jesus replied, “Neither this man sinned nor his parents, but it happened[b] so that the works of God could be revealed in him. It is necessary for us to do the deeds of the one who sent me while it is day; night is coming, when no one can work! While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” When he[c] had said these things, he spat on the ground and made clay with the saliva, and smeared the clay on his eyes. And he said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which is translated “sent”). So he went and washed and came back seeing.

Then the neighbors and those who saw him previously (because he was a beggar) began to say,[d] “Is this man not the one who used to sit and beg?” Others were saying, “It is this man”; others were saying, “No, but he is like him.” That one was saying, “I am he!” 10 So they began to say[e] to him, “How[f] were your eyes opened?” 11 He replied, “The man who is called Jesus made clay and smeared it[g] on my eyes and said to me, ‘Go to Siloam and wash!’ So I went, and I washed, and[h] I received sight.” 12 And they said to him, “Where is that man?” He said, “I do not know.”

The Reaction of the Pharisees to the Healing

13 They brought him—the one formerly blind—to the Pharisees. 14 (Now the day on which Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes was the Sabbath.) 15 So the Pharisees also were asking him again how he received sight. And he said to them, “He put clay on my eyes, and I washed, and I see.” 16 So some of the Pharisees were saying, “This man is not from God, because he does not observe the Sabbath!” Others[i] were saying, “How can a man who is a sinner perform such signs?” And there was a division among them. 17 So they said to the blind man again, “What do you say about him, because he opened your eyes?” And he said, “He is a prophet.”

18 So the Jews did not believe concerning him that he had been blind and received sight, until they summoned the parents of the one[j] who received sight. 19 And they asked them, saying, “Is this man your son, whom you say was born blind? Then how does he now see?” 20 So his parents answered and said, “We know that this man is our son, and that he was born blind. 21 But how he now sees we do not know, or who opened his eyes we do not know. Ask him! He is a mature adult;[k] he will speak for himself!” 22 (His parents said these things because they were afraid of the Jews, for the Jews had already decided that if anyone should confess him to be Christ, he would be expelled from the synagogue. 23 Because of this his parents said, “He is a mature adult;[l] ask him.”)

24 So they summoned the man who had been blind for the second time and said to him, “Give glory to God! We know that this man is a sinner!” 25 Then that man replied, “Whether he is a sinner I do not know. One thing I know—that although I[m] was blind, now I see!” 26 So they said to him, “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?” 27 He replied to them, “I told you already and you did not listen! Why do you want to hear it[n] again? You do not want to become his disciples also, do you?”[o] 28 They reviled[p] him and said, “You are his disciple! But we are disciples of Moses! 29 We know that God has spoken to Moses, but we do not know where this man is from.” 30 The man answered and said to them, “For the remarkable thing is this, that you do not know where he is from, and he opened my eyes! 31 We know that God does not listen to sinners, but if someone is devout and does his will, he listens to this one. 32 From time immemorial[q] it has not been heard that someone opened the eyes of one born blind. 33 If this man were not from God, he would not be able to do anything!” 34 They answered and said to him, “You were born completely in sin, and are you attempting to teach[r] us?” And they threw him out.

Jesus as the Son of Man

35 Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and finding him, he said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?” 36 He answered and said, “And who is he, sir, that I may believe in him?” 37 Jesus said to him, “You have both seen him, and he is the one who is speaking with you.” [[38 And he said, “I believe, Lord!” and he worshiped him. 39 And Jesus said,]][s] “For judgment I have come into this world, so that those who do not see may see, and those who see may become blind!” 40 Some of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things and said to him, “We are not also blind, are we?”[t] 41 Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you would not have sin. But now you say, ‘We see,’ your sin remains.

And as he passed on, he saw a man blind from birth.

And his disciples asked him, saying, Rabbi, who sinned, this [man] or his parents, that he should be born blind?

Jesus answered, Neither has this [man] sinned nor his parents, but that the works of God should be manifested in him.

I must work the works of him that has sent me while it is day. [The] night is coming, when no one can work.

As long as I am in the world, I am [the] light of the world.

Having said these things, he spat on the ground and made mud of the spittle, and put the mud, as ointment, on his eyes.

And he said to him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, which is interpreted, Sent. He went therefore and washed, and came seeing.

The neighbours therefore, and those who used to see him before, that he was a beggar, said, Is not this he that was sitting and begging?

Some said, It is he; others said, No, but he is like him: *he* said, It is I.

10 They said therefore to him, How have thine eyes been opened?

11 He answered [and said], A man called Jesus made mud and anointed mine eyes, and said to me, Go to Siloam and wash: and having gone and washed, I saw.

12 They said therefore to him, Where is he? He says, I do not know.

13 They bring him who was before blind to the Pharisees.

14 Now it was sabbath when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes.

15 The Pharisees therefore also again asked him how he received his sight. And he said to them, He put mud upon mine eyes, and I washed, and I see.

16 Some of the Pharisees therefore said, This man is not of God, for he does not keep the sabbath. Others said, How can a sinful man perform such signs? And there was a division among them.

17 They say therefore again to the blind [man], What dost thou say of him, that he has opened thine eyes? And he said, He is a prophet.

18 The Jews therefore did not believe concerning him that he was blind and had received sight, until they had called the parents of him that had received sight.

19 And they asked them saying, This is your son, of whom ye say that he 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 how he now sees we do not know, or who has opened his eyes we do not know. *He* is of age: ask *him*; *he* will speak concerning himself.

22 His parents said these things because they feared the Jews, for the Jews had already agreed that if any one confessed him [to be the] Christ, he should be excommunicated from the synagogue.

23 On this account his parents said, He is of age: ask *him*.

24 They called therefore a second time the man who had been blind, and said to him, Give glory to God: we know that this man is sinful.

25 He answered therefore, If he is sinful I know not. One thing I know, that, being blind [before], now I see.

26 And they said to him again, What did he do to thee? how opened he thine eyes?

27 He answered them, I told you already and ye did not hear: why do ye desire to hear again? do ye also wish to become his disciples?

28 They railed at him, and said, Thou art his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.

29 We know that God spoke to Moses; but [as to] this [man], we know not whence he is.

30 The man answered and said to them, Now in this is a wonderful thing, that *ye* do not know whence he is, and he has opened mine eyes.

31 [But] we know that God does not hear sinners; but if any one be God-fearing and do his will, him he hears.

32 Since time was, it has not been heard that any one opened the eyes of one born blind.

33 If this [man] were not of God he would be able to do nothing.

34 They answered and said to him, Thou hast been wholly born in sins, and thou teachest us? And they cast him out.

35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out, and having found him, he said to him, Thou, dost thou believe on the Son of God?

36 He answered and said, And who is he, Lord, that I may believe on him?

37 And Jesus said to him, Thou hast both seen him, and he that speaks with thee is he.

38 And he said, I believe, Lord: and he did him homage.

39 And Jesus said, For judgment am I come into this world, that they which see not may see, and they which see may become blind.

40 And [some] of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and they said to him, Are we blind also?

41 Jesus said to them, If ye were blind ye would not have sin; but now ye say, We see, your sin remains.
