Die Heilung eines Blindgeborenen

Und als er vorbeiging, sah er einen Menschen, der blind war von Geburt an.

Und seine Jünger fragten ihn und sprachen: Rabbi, wer hat gesündigt, sodass dieser blind geboren ist, er oder seine Eltern?

Jesus antwortete: Weder dieser hat gesündigt noch seine Eltern; sondern an ihm sollten die Werke Gottes offenbar werden!

Ich muss die Werke dessen wirken, der mich gesandt hat, solange es Tag ist; es kommt die Nacht, da niemand wirken kann.

Solange ich in der Welt bin, bin ich das Licht der Welt.

Als er dies gesagt hatte, spie er auf die Erde und machte einen Brei mit dem Speichel und strich den Brei auf die Augen des Blinden

und sprach zu ihm: Geh hin, wasche dich im Teich Siloah (das heißt übersetzt: »Der Gesandte«)! Da ging er hin und wusch sich und kam sehend wieder.

Die Nachbarn nun, und die ihn zuvor als Blinden gesehen hatten, sprachen: Ist das nicht der, welcher dasaß und bettelte?

Etliche sagten: Er ist"s! — andere aber: Er sieht ihm ähnlich! Er selbst sagte: Ich bin"s!

10 Da sprachen sie zu ihm: Wie sind deine Augen geöffnet worden?

11 Er antwortete und sprach: Ein Mensch, der Jesus heißt, machte einen Brei und bestrich meine Augen und sprach zu mir: Geh hin zum Teich Siloah und wasche dich! Als ich aber hinging und mich wusch, wurde ich sehend.

12 Da sprachen sie zu ihm: Wo ist er? Er antwortete: Ich weiß es nicht!

Verhör des Geheilten durch die Pharisäer

13 Da führten sie ihn, der einst blind gewesen war, zu den Pharisäern.

14 Es war aber Sabbat, als Jesus den Teig machte und ihm die Augen öffnete.

15 Nun fragten ihn auch die Pharisäer wieder, wie er sehend geworden war. Und er sprach zu ihnen: Einen Brei hat er auf meine Augen gelegt, und ich wusch mich und bin nun sehend!

16 Da sprachen etliche von den Pharisäern: Dieser Mensch ist nicht von Gott, weil er den Sabbat nicht hält! Andere sprachen: Wie kann ein sündiger Mensch solche Zeichen tun? Und es entstand eine Spaltung unter ihnen.

17 Sie sprachen wiederum zu dem Blinden: Was sagst du von ihm, weil er dir die Augen geöffnet hat? Er aber sprach: Er ist ein Prophet!

18 Nun glaubten die Juden nicht von ihm, dass er blind gewesen und sehend geworden war, bis sie die Eltern des Sehendgewordenen gerufen hatten.

19 Und sie fragten sie und sprachen: Ist das euer Sohn, von dem ihr sagt, dass er blind geboren ist? Wieso ist er denn jetzt sehend?

20 Seine Eltern antworteten ihnen und sprachen: Wir wissen, dass dieser unser Sohn ist und dass er blind geboren ist;

21 wieso er aber jetzt sieht, das wissen wir nicht; und wer ihm die Augen geöffnet hat, wissen wir auch nicht. Er ist alt genug; fragt ihn selbst. Er soll selbst für sich reden!

22 Das sagten seine Eltern deshalb, weil sie die Juden fürchteten; denn die Juden waren schon übereingekommen, dass, wenn einer ihn als den Christus anerkennen würde, dieser aus der Synagoge ausgeschlossen werden sollte.[a]

23 Darum sprachen seine Eltern: Er ist alt genug; fragt ihn selbst!

24 Da riefen sie zum zweiten Mal den Menschen, der blind gewesen war, und sprachen zu ihm: Gib Gott die Ehre! Wir wissen, dass dieser Mensch ein Sünder ist.

25 Da antwortete jener und sprach: Ob er ein Sünder ist, weiß ich nicht. Eines weiß ich: dass ich blind war und jetzt sehend bin!

26 Sie sprachen aber wiederum zu ihm: Was hat er mit dir gemacht? Wie hat er dir die Augen geöffnet?

27 Er antwortete ihnen: Ich habe es euch schon gesagt, und ihr habt nicht darauf gehört; warum wollt ihr es noch einmal hören? Wollt auch ihr seine Jünger werden?

28 Sie beschimpften ihn nun und sprachen: Du bist sein Jünger! Wir aber sind Moses Jünger.

29 Wir wissen, dass Gott zu Mose geredet hat; von diesem aber wissen wir nicht, woher er ist.

30 Da antwortete der Mensch und sprach zu ihnen: Das ist doch verwunderlich, dass ihr nicht wisst, woher er ist, und er hat doch meine Augen geöffnet.

31 Wir wissen aber, dass Gott nicht auf Sünder hört; sondern wenn jemand gottesfürchtig ist und seinen Willen tut, den hört er.

32 Von Ewigkeit her hat man nicht gehört, dass jemand einem Blindgeborenen die Augen geöffnet hat.

33 Wenn dieser nicht von Gott wäre, so könnte er nichts tun!

34 Sie antworteten und sprachen zu ihm: Du bist ganz in Sünden geboren und willst uns lehren? Und sie stießen ihn hinaus.[b]

Blinde sehen und Sehende werden blind

35 Jesus hörte, dass sie ihn ausgestoßen hatten, und als er ihn fand, sprach er zu ihm: Glaubst du an den Sohn Gottes?

36 Er antwortete und sprach: Wer ist es, Herr, damit ich an ihn glaube?

37 Jesus aber sprach zu ihm: Du hast ihn gesehen, und der mit dir redet, der ist es!

38 Er aber sprach: Ich glaube, Herr! und fiel anbetend vor ihm nieder.

39 Und Jesus sprach: Ich bin zum Gericht in diese Welt gekommen, damit die, welche nicht sehen, sehend werden und die, welche sehen, blind werden.

40 Und dies hörten etliche der Pharisäer, die bei ihm waren, und sprachen zu ihm: Sind denn auch wir blind?

41 Jesus sprach zu ihnen: Wenn ihr blind wärt, so hättet ihr keine Sünde; nun sagt ihr aber: Wir sind sehend! — deshalb bleibt eure Sünde.

And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.

And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?

Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.

I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.

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

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,

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.

The neighbours therefore, and they which before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?

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.

¶ Jezi t'ap pase yon kote konsa lè l' wè yon nonm ki te avèg depi li te fèt.

Disip li yo mande li: Mèt, poukisa nonm sa a te fèt tou avèg en? Se peche pa l' osinon peche manman l' ak papa l' ki lakòz sa?

Jezi reponn yo: Se pa ni peche pa l' ni peche manman l' ak papa l' ki lakòz sa. Li fèt avèg, se pou moun ka wè sa pouvwa Bondye a ka fè nan li.

Toutotan fè klè toujou, se pou m' fè travay moun ki voye m' lan ban m' fè a. Talè konsa pral fè nwit, pesonn p'ap ka travay.

Toutotan mwen la sou latè, mwen se limyè k'ap klere tout moun ki sou latè.

Apre li fin di pawòl sa yo, Jezi krache atè, li fè yon ti labou ak krache a, li fwote je nonm lan avèk labou a.

Li di l' konsa: Al lave figi ou nan gwo basen Siloe a. (Mo Siloe sa a vle di: Moun yo te voye a.) Avèg la ale, li lave figi li. Lè l' tounen, li te ka wè nan tou de je l' yo.

¶ Moun ki te rete bò lakay li yo ansanm ak tout moun ki te konn wè l' ap mande charite anvan sa, yo tout t'ap di: Apa nonm ki te konn chita ap mande charite a!

Gen moun ki t'ap di: Se li menm wi. Gen lòt ki t'ap di tou: Non. Se pa li. Men, li sanble l' anpil. Lè sa a nonm lan di yo: Se mwen menm menm.

10 Yo mande li: Ki jan ou fè wè nan je ou yo?

11 Li reponn yo: Nonm yo rele Jezi a fè yon ti labou, li fwote je m' ak labou a, epi li di m' al lave figi m' nan basen Siloe a. m' ale. Lè m' fin lave figi m', mwen wè m' wè.

12 Yo mande li: Kote nonm sa a? Li reponn yo: Mwen pa konnen non.

13 ¶ Yo pran nonm ki te avèg la, yo mennen l' bay farizyen yo.

14 Se te yon jou repo Jezi te fè labou a pou louvri je l' yo.

15 Se poutèt sa, farizyen yo tou, yo mande nonm lan sak te pase ki te fè l' ka wè koulye a. Li di yo: Li mete ti kras labou sou je m' yo, lèfini mwen lave figi mwen. Se konsa, koulye a mwen wè.

16 Te gen de twa nan farizyen yo ki t'ap di: Nonm ki fè sa a pa ka soti nan Bondye. Li pa obeyi lalwa repo a. Men, gen lòt ki t'ap di: Ki jan yon nonm k'ap fè sa ki mal kapab fè yon mirak konsa? Te vin gen divizyon nan mitan yo.

17 Farizyen yo mande nonm ki te avèg la: Ou menm, dapre ou, nonm ki louvri je ou yo, ki moun li ye? Li reponn: Se yon pwofèt li ye.

18 Men, jwif yo pa t' vle kwè li te avèg anvan sa. Yo fè chache papa l' ak manman l' pou poze yo kekzyon.

19 Yo mande yo: Eske nonm sa a se pitit gason nou an vre? Eske se vre li te fèt avèg? Sak pase l' ki fè li wè koulye a?

20 Papa a ak manman an reponn yo: Nou konnen se pitit gason nou li ye, li te fèt avèg.

21 Men, nou pa konnen sak pase l' ki fè l' wè koulye a. Nou pa konnen tou ki moun ki louvri je li. Nou mèt mande li. li ase gran konsa. Li ka reponn li menm.

22 Papa a ak manman an te pale konsa paske yo te pè jwif yo. Paske, jwif yo te tonbe dakò sou pwen sa a: Tout moun ki ta di Jezi se Kris la, yo t'ap mete yo deyò nan sinagòg la.

23 Se poutèt sa papa l' ak manman l' te di: li ase gran, li ka reponn li menm. Nou mèt mande li.

24 Farizyen yo rele nonm ki te avèg la yon dezyèm fwa. Yo di li: Di verite a devan Bondye. Nou konnen nonm sa a se yon nonm k'ap fè sa ki mal.

25 Li reponn yo: Mwen pa konnen si se yon moun k'ap fè sa ki mal osinon sa ki byen. Yon sèl bagay mwen konnen: mwen te avèg, koulye a mwen wè.

26 Yo mande li: Men, kisa l' te fè? Ki jan l' te fè pou louvri je ou yo?

27 Li reponn yo: Mwen deja di nou ki jan, men nou pa t'ap koute. Poukisa nou vle m' redi l' ankò? Gen lè, nou menm tou, nou ta renmen tounen disip li?

28 Yo joure l', yo di l' konsa: Se ou menm ki disip li! Nou menm, nou se disip Moyiz.

29 Nou konnen Bondye te pale ak Moyiz. Men, li menm, nou pa menm konnen ki bò l' soti.

30 Nonm lan reponn yo: Ala bagay dwòl en! Nou pa konnen ki bò l' soti? Epi, se li menm ki louvri je m' yo!

31 Nou tout nou konnen sa: Bondye pa tande lè se yon moun k'ap fè sa ki mal ki pale avè li. Men, se pa menm bagay lè se yon moun ki respekte l', yon moun ki fè volonte l' k'ap pale avè li.

32 Nou poko janm tande yo fè yon moun ki fèt avèg wè.

33 Si nonm sa a pa t' soti nan Bondye, li pa ta ka fè anyen.

34 Yo reponn li: Se nan peche ou fèt, epi ou konprann pou ou vin ban nou leson koulye a? Epi yo mete l' deyò nan sinagòg la.

35 ¶ Jezi te vin konnen yo te mete nonm ki te avèg la deyò nan sinagòg la. Lè li kontre avè l', li di l' konsa: Eske ou kwè nan Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a?

36 Nonm lan reponn li: Mèt, di m' ki moun li ye pou m' ka kwè nan li?

37 Jezi reponn li: Apa w'ap gade li! Se li menm k'ap pale avè ou la a wi.

38 Nonm lan di: Seyè, mwen kwè. Epi li tonbe ajenou devan Jezi.

39 ¶ Lè sa a, Jezi di: Mwen vin sou tè a pou yon jijman: Moun ki avèg yo pral wè. Men moun ki wè yo pral tounen avèg.

40 Te gen kèk farizyen la avèk li. Lè yo tande pawòl sa yo, yo mande l': Eske nou menm tou, nou avèg?

41 Jezi reponn yo: Si nou te avèg, nou pa ta koupab. Men, n'ap plede di nou wè, nou wè. Se poutèt sa nou antò toujou.

A Man Born Blind Receives Sight

Now as Jesus passed by, He saw a man who was blind from birth. And His disciples asked Him, saying, “Rabbi, (A)who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”

Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, (B)but that the works of God should be revealed in him. (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. As long as I am in the world, (E)I am the light of the world.”

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. 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.

Therefore the neighbors and those who previously had seen that he was [b]blind said, “Is not this he who sat and begged?”

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

As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. His disciples asked him, “Rabbi,(A) who sinned,(B) this man(C) or his parents,(D) that he was born blind?”

“Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” said Jesus, “but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him.(E) 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. While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”(G)

After saying this, he spit(H) on the ground, made some mud with the saliva, and put it on the man’s eyes. “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)

His neighbors and those who had formerly seen him begging asked, “Isn’t this the same man who used to sit and beg?”(K) 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)
