Jean 9
Louis Segond
9 Jésus vit, en passant, un homme aveugle de naissance.
2 Ses disciples lui firent cette question: Rabbi, qui a péché, cet homme ou ses parents, pour qu'il soit né aveugle?
3 Jésus répondit: Ce n'est pas que lui ou ses parents aient péché; mais c'est afin que les oeuvres de Dieu soient manifestées en lui.
4 Il faut que je fasse, tandis qu'il est jour, les oeuvres de celui qui m'a envoyé; la nuit vient, où personne ne peut travailler.
5 Pendant que je suis dans le monde, je suis la lumière du monde.
6 Après avoir dit cela, il cracha à terre, et fit de la boue avec sa salive. Puis il appliqua cette boue sur les yeux de l'aveugle,
7 et lui dit: Va, et lave-toi au réservoir de Siloé (nom qui signifie envoyé). Il y alla, se lava, et s'en retourna voyant clair.
8 Ses voisins et ceux qui auparavant l'avaient connu comme un mendiant disaient: N'est-ce pas là celui qui se tenait assis et qui mendiait?
9 Les uns disaient: C'est lui. D'autres disaient: Non, mais il lui ressemble. Et lui-même disait: C'est moi.
10 Ils lui dirent donc: Comment tes yeux ont-ils été ouverts?
11 Il répondit: L'Homme qu'on appelle Jésus a fait de la boue, a oint mes yeux, et m'a dit: Va au réservoir de Siloé, et lave-toi. J'y suis allé, je me suis lavé, et j'ai recouvré la vue.
12 Ils lui dirent: Où est cet homme? Il répondit: Je ne sais.
13 Ils menèrent vers les pharisiens celui qui avait été aveugle.
14 Or, c'était un jour de sabbat que Jésus avait fait de la boue, et lui avait ouvert les yeux.
15 De nouveau, les pharisiens aussi lui demandèrent comment il avait recouvré la vue. Et il leur dit: Il a appliqué de la boue sur mes yeux, je me suis lavé, et je vois.
16 Sur quoi quelques-uns des pharisiens dirent: Cet homme ne vient pas de Dieu, car il n'observe pas le sabbat. D'autres dirent: Comment un homme pécheur peut-il faire de tels miracles?
17 Et il y eut division parmi eux. Ils dirent encore à l'aveugle: Toi, que dis-tu de lui, sur ce qu'il t'a ouvert les yeux? Il répondit: C'est un prophète.
18 Les Juifs ne crurent point qu'il eût été aveugle et qu'il eût recouvré la vue jusqu'à ce qu'ils eussent fait venir ses parents.
19 Et ils les interrogèrent, disant: Est-ce là votre fils, que vous dites être né aveugle? Comment donc voit-il maintenant?
20 Ses parents répondirent: Nous savons que c'est notre fils, et qu'il est né aveugle;
21 mais comment il voit maintenant, ou qui lui a ouvert les yeux, c'est ce que nous ne savons. Interrogez-le lui-même, il a de l'âge, il parlera de ce qui le concerne.
22 Ses parents dirent cela parce qu'ils craignaient les Juifs; car les Juifs étaient déjà convenus que, si quelqu'un reconnaissait Jésus pour le Christ, il serait exclu de la synagogue.
23 C'est pourquoi ses parents dirent: Il a de l'âge, interrogez-le lui-même.
24 Les pharisiens appelèrent une seconde fois l'homme qui avait été aveugle, et ils lui dirent: Donne gloire à Dieu; nous savons que cet homme est un pécheur.
25 Il répondit: S'il est un pécheur, je ne sais; je sais une chose, c'est que j'étais aveugle et que maintenant je vois.
26 Ils lui dirent: Que t'a-t-il fait? Comment t'a-t-il ouvert les yeux?
27 Il leur répondit: Je vous l'ai déjà dit, et vous n'avez pas écouté; pourquoi voulez-vous l'entendre encore? Voulez-vous aussi devenir ses disciples?
28 Ils l'injurièrent et dirent: C'est toi qui es son disciple; nous, nous sommes disciples de Moïse.
29 Nous savons que Dieu a parlé à Moïse; mais celui-ci, nous ne savons d'où il est.
30 Cet homme leur répondit: Il est étonnant que vous ne sachiez d'où il est; et cependant il m'a ouvert les yeux.
31 Nous savons que Dieu n'exauce point les pécheurs; mais, si quelqu'un l'honore et fait sa volonté, c'est celui là qu'il l'exauce.
32 Jamais on n'a entendu dire que quelqu'un ait ouvert les yeux d'un aveugle-né.
33 Si cet homme ne venait pas de Dieu, il ne pourrait rien faire.
34 Ils lui répondirent: Tu es né tout entier dans le péché, et tu nous enseignes! Et ils le chassèrent.
35 Jésus apprit qu'ils l'avaient chassé; et, l'ayant rencontré, il lui dit: Crois-tu au Fils de Dieu?
36 Il répondit: Et qui est-il, Seigneur, afin que je croie en lui?
37 Tu l'as vu, lui dit Jésus, et celui qui te parle, c'est lui.
38 Et il dit: Je crois, Seigneur. Et il se prosterna devant lui.
39 Puis Jésus dit: Je suis venu dans ce monde pour un jugement, pour que ceux qui ne voient point voient, et que ceux qui voient deviennent aveugles.
40 Quelques pharisiens qui étaient avec lui, ayant entendu ces paroles, lui dirent: Nous aussi, sommes-nous aveugles?
41 Jésus leur répondit: Si vous étiez aveugles, vous n'auriez pas de péché. Mais maintenant vous dites: Nous voyons. C'est pour cela que votre péché subsiste.

Jesus Heals a Man Born Blind
9 As He passed by, He saw a man blind from birth. 2 And His disciples asked Him, saying, “(A)Rabbi, who sinned, (B)this man or his (C)parents, that he would be born blind?” 3 Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but this was so (D)that the works of God might be manifested in him. 4 We must work the works of Him who sent Me (E)as long as it is day; night is coming when no one can work. 5 While I am in the world, I am (F)the light of the world.” 6 When He had said this, He (G)spat on the ground, made clay of the saliva, and rubbed the clay on his eyes, 7 and said to him, “Go, wash in (H)the pool of Siloam” (which is translated, Sent). So he went away and (I)washed, and (J)came back seeing. 8 Therefore the neighbors, and those who previously saw him as a beggar, were saying, “Is not this the one who used to (K)sit and beg?” 9 Others were saying, “This is he,” still others were saying, “No, but he is like him.” [a]He kept saying, “I am the one.” 10 So they were saying to him, “How then were your eyes opened?” 11 He answered, “The man who is called Jesus made clay, and rubbed my eyes, and said to me, ‘Go to (L)Siloam and wash’; so when I went away and washed, I received sight.” 12 And they said to him, “Where is He?” He *said, “I do not know.”
Controversy over the Man Born Blind
13 They *brought to the Pharisees the man who was formerly blind. 14 (M)Now it was a Sabbath on the day when Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes. 15 (N)So the Pharisees also were asking him again how he received his sight. And he said to them, “He applied clay to my eyes, and I washed, and I see.” 16 So then some of the Pharisees were saying, “This man is not from God, because He (O)does not keep the Sabbath.” But others were saying, “How can a sinful man do such [b](P)signs?” And (Q)there was a division among them. 17 Therefore, they *said to the blind man (R)again, “What do you say about Him, since He opened your eyes?” And he said, “He is a (S)prophet.”
18 (T)Then, the Jews did not believe it of him that he was blind and had received sight, until they called the parents of the very one who had received his sight, 19 and questioned them, saying, “Is this your son, who you say was born blind? Then how does he now see?” 20 So his parents answered 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 opened his eyes, we do not know. Ask him; he is of age, he will speak for himself.” 22 His parents said this because they (U)were afraid of the Jews; for the Jews (V)had already agreed that if anyone confessed Him to be [c]Christ, (W)he was to be put out of the synagogue. 23 For this reason his parents said, “(X)He is of age; ask him.”
24 Therefore, a second time they called the man who had been blind, and said to him, “(Y)Give glory to God; we know that (Z)this man is a sinner.” 25 He then answered, “Whether He is a sinner, I do not know; one thing I do know, that though I 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 answered them, “(AA)I told you already and you did not (AB)listen. Why do you want to listen again? Do you want to become His disciples too?” 28 And they reviled him and said, “You are His disciple, but (AC)we are disciples of Moses. 29 We know that God has spoken to Moses, but as for this man, (AD)we do not know where He is from.” 30 The man answered and said to them, “Well, here is a marvelous thing, that you do not know where He is from, and He opened my eyes. 31 We know that (AE)God does not listen to sinners; but if anyone is God-fearing and does His will, He listens to him. 32 [d]Since the beginning of time it has never been heard that anyone opened the eyes of a person born blind. 33 (AF)If this man were not from God, He could do nothing.” 34 They answered and said to him, “(AG)You were born entirely in sins, and are you teaching us?” So they (AH)put him out.
Jesus Affirms His Deity
35 Jesus heard that they had (AI)put him out, and after finding him, He said, “Do you believe in the (AJ)Son of Man?” 36 He answered and said, “(AK)Who is He, [e]Lord, that I may believe in Him?” 37 Jesus said to him, “You have both seen Him, and (AL)He is the one who is talking with you.” 38 And he said, “Lord, I believe.” And he (AM)worshiped Him. 39 And Jesus said, “(AN)For judgment I came into this world, so that (AO)those who do not see may see, and that (AP)those who see may become blind.” 40 Some of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these things and said to Him, “(AQ)Are we blind too?” 41 Jesus said to them, “(AR)If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now that you say, ‘(AS)We see,’ your sin remains.
