Jesús da la vista a un hombre que nació ciego
9 Al salir, Jesús vio a su paso a un hombre que había nacido ciego. 2 Sus discípulos le preguntaron:
—Maestro, ¿por qué nació ciego este hombre? ¿Por el pecado de sus padres, o por su propio pecado?
3 Jesús les contestó:
—Ni por su propio pecado ni por el de sus padres; fue más bien para que en él se demuestre lo que Dios puede hacer. 4 Mientras es de día, tenemos que hacer el trabajo del que me envió; pues viene la noche, cuando nadie puede trabajar. 5 Mientras estoy en este mundo, soy la luz del mundo.
6 Después de haber dicho esto, Jesús escupió en el suelo, hizo con la saliva un poco de lodo y se lo untó al ciego en los ojos. 7 Luego le dijo:
—Ve a lavarte al estanque de Siloé (que significa: «Enviado»).
El ciego fue y se lavó, y cuando regresó ya podía ver. 8 Los vecinos y los que antes lo habían visto pedir limosna se preguntaban:
—¿No es éste el que se sentaba a pedir limosna?
9 Unos decían:
—Sí, es él.
Otros decían:
—No, no es él, aunque se le parece.
Pero él mismo decía:
—Sí, yo soy.
10 Entonces le preguntaron:
—¿Y cómo es que ahora puedes ver?
11 Él les contestó:
—Ese hombre que se llama Jesús hizo lodo, me lo untó en los ojos, y me dijo: “Ve al estanque de Siloé, y lávate.” Yo fui, y en cuanto me lavé, pude ver.
12 Entonces le preguntaron:
—¿Dónde está ese hombre?
Y él les dijo:
—No lo sé.
Los fariseos interrogan al ciego que fue sanado
13-14 El día en que Jesús hizo el lodo y devolvió la vista al ciego era sábado. Por eso llevaron ante los fariseos al que había sido ciego, 15 y ellos le preguntaron cómo era que ya podía ver. Y él les contestó:
—Me puso lodo en los ojos, me lavé, y ahora veo.
16 Algunos fariseos dijeron:
—El que hizo esto no puede ser de Dios, porque no respeta el sábado.
Pero otros decían:
—¿Cómo puede hacer estas señales milagrosas, si es pecador?
De manera que hubo división entre ellos, 17 y volvieron a preguntarle al que antes era ciego:
—Puesto que te ha dado la vista, ¿qué dices de él?
Él contestó:
—Yo digo que es un profeta.
18 Pero los judíos no quisieron creer que había sido ciego y que ahora podía ver, hasta que llamaron a sus padres 19 y les preguntaron:
—¿Es éste su hijo? ¿Declaran ustedes que nació ciego? ¿Cómo es que ahora puede ver?
20 Sus padres contestaron:
—Sabemos que éste es nuestro hijo, y que nació ciego; 21 pero no sabemos cómo es que ahora puede ver, ni tampoco sabemos quién le dio la vista. Pregúntenselo a él; ya es mayor de edad, y él mismo puede darles razón.
22 Sus padres dijeron esto por miedo, pues los judíos se habían puesto de acuerdo para expulsar de la sinagoga a cualquiera que reconociera que Jesús era el Mesías. 23 Por eso dijeron sus padres: «Pregúntenselo a él, que ya es mayor de edad.»
24 Los judíos volvieron a llamar al que había sido ciego, y le dijeron:
—Dinos la verdad delante de Dios. Nosotros sabemos que ese hombre es pecador.
25 Él les contestó:
—Si es pecador, no lo sé. Lo que sí sé es que yo era ciego y ahora veo.
26 Volvieron a preguntarle:
—¿Qué te hizo? ¿Qué hizo para darte la vista?
27 Les contestó:
—Ya se lo he dicho, pero no me hacen caso. ¿Por qué quieren que se lo repita? ¿Es que también ustedes quieren seguirlo?
28 Entonces lo insultaron, y le dijeron:
—Tú serás discípulo de ese hombre; nosotros somos discípulos de Moisés. 29 Y sabemos que Dios le habló a Moisés, pero de ése no sabemos ni siquiera de dónde ha salido.
30 El hombre les contestó:
—¡Qué cosa tan rara! Ustedes no saben de dónde ha salido, y en cambio a mí me ha dado la vista. 31 Bien sabemos que Dios no escucha a los pecadores; solamente escucha a los que lo adoran y hacen su voluntad. 32 Nunca se ha oído decir de nadie que diera la vista a una persona que nació ciega. 33 Si este hombre no viniera de Dios, no podría hacer nada.
34 Le dijeron entonces:
—Tú, que naciste lleno de pecado, ¿quieres darnos lecciones a nosotros?
Y lo expulsaron de la sinagoga.
Ciegos espirituales
35 Jesús oyó decir que habían expulsado al ciego; y cuando se encontró con él, le preguntó:
—¿Crees tú en el Hijo del hombre?
36 Él le dijo:
—Señor, dime quién es, para que yo crea en él.
37 Jesús le contestó:
—Ya lo has visto: soy yo, con quien estás hablando.
38 Entonces el hombre se puso de rodillas delante de Jesús, y le dijo:
—Creo, Señor.
39 Luego dijo Jesús:
—Yo he venido a este mundo para hacer juicio, para que los ciegos vean y para que los que ven se vuelvan ciegos.
40 Algunos fariseos que estaban con él, al oír esto, le preguntaron:
—¿Acaso nosotros también somos ciegos?
41 Jesús les contestó:
—Si ustedes fueran ciegos, no tendrían culpa de sus pecados. Pero como dicen que ven, son culpables.

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.

Jesus Heals a Man Born Blind
9 As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. 2 His disciples asked him, “Rabbi,(A) who sinned,(B) this man(C) or his parents,(D) that he was born blind?”
3 “Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” said Jesus, “but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him.(E) 4 As long as it is day,(F) we must do the works of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work. 5 While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”(G)
6 After saying this, he spit(H) on the ground, made some mud with the saliva, and put it on the man’s eyes. 7 “Go,” he told him, “wash in the Pool of Siloam”(I) (this word means “Sent”). So the man went and washed, and came home seeing.(J)
8 His neighbors and those who had formerly seen him begging asked, “Isn’t this the same man who used to sit and beg?”(K) 9 Some claimed that he was.
Others said, “No, he only looks like him.”
But he himself insisted, “I am the man.”
10 “How then were your eyes opened?” they asked.
11 He replied, “The man they call Jesus made some mud and put it on my eyes. He told me to go to Siloam and wash. So I went and washed, and then I could see.”(L)
12 “Where is this man?” they asked him.
“I don’t know,” he said.
The Pharisees Investigate the Healing
13 They brought to the Pharisees the man who had been blind. 14 Now the day on which Jesus had made the mud and opened the man’s eyes was a Sabbath.(M) 15 Therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight.(N) “He put mud on my eyes,” the man replied, “and I washed, and now I see.”
16 Some of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath.”(O)
But others asked, “How can a sinner perform such signs?”(P) So they were divided.(Q)
17 Then they turned again to the blind man, “What have you to say about him? It was your eyes he opened.”
The man replied, “He is a prophet.”(R)
18 They(S) still did not believe that he had been blind and had received his sight until they sent for the man’s parents. 19 “Is this your son?” they asked. “Is this the one you say was born blind? How is it that now he can see?”
20 “We know he is our son,” the parents answered, “and we know he was born blind. 21 But how he can see now, or who opened his eyes, we don’t know. Ask him. He is of age; he will speak for himself.” 22 His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jewish leaders,(T) who already had decided that anyone who acknowledged that Jesus was the Messiah would be put out(U) of the synagogue.(V) 23 That was why his parents said, “He is of age; ask him.”(W)
24 A second time they summoned the man who had been blind. “Give glory to God by telling the truth,”(X) they said. “We know this man is a sinner.”(Y)
25 He replied, “Whether he is a sinner or not, I don’t know. One thing I do know. I was blind but now I see!”
26 Then they asked him, “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?”
27 He answered, “I have told you already(Z) and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you want to become his disciples too?”
28 Then they hurled insults at him and said, “You are this fellow’s disciple! We are disciples of Moses!(AA) 29 We know that God spoke to Moses, but as for this fellow, we don’t even know where he comes from.”(AB)
30 The man answered, “Now that is remarkable! You don’t know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes. 31 We know that God does not listen to sinners. He listens to the godly person who does his will.(AC) 32 Nobody has ever heard of opening the eyes of a man born blind. 33 If this man were not from God,(AD) he could do nothing.”
34 To this they replied, “You were steeped in sin at birth;(AE) how dare you lecture us!” And they threw him out.(AF)
Spiritual Blindness
35 Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and when he found him, he said, “Do you believe(AG) in the Son of Man?”(AH)
36 “Who is he, sir?” the man asked. “Tell me so that I may believe in him.”(AI)
37 Jesus said, “You have now seen him; in fact, he is the one speaking with you.”(AJ)
38 Then the man said, “Lord, I believe,” and he worshiped him.(AK)
39 Jesus said,[a] “For judgment(AL) I have come into this world,(AM) so that the blind will see(AN) and those who see will become blind.”(AO)
40 Some Pharisees who were with him heard him say this and asked, “What? Are we blind too?”(AP)
41 Jesus said, “If you were blind, you would not be guilty of sin; but now that you claim you can see, your guilt remains.(AQ)
