While Passing On, Jesus Heals a Man Born Blind
9 And while passing on, He saw a man blind from birth. 2 And His disciples asked Him, saying “Rabbi, who sinned— this one or his parents, that he should be born blind?” 3 Jesus answered, “Neither this one sinned nor his parents, but it was in order that the works of God might be made-visible in him. 4 We must be working the works of the One having sent Me while it is day. Night is coming, when no one can work. 5 When I am in the world, I am the light of the world”. 6 Having said these things, He spat on the ground and made mud from the saliva, and smeared its mud on the eyes, 7 and said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which is translated “Sent”[a]). So he went away and washed, and came[b] [back] seeing. 8 Then the neighbors, and the ones seeing him formerly— because[c] he was a beggar— were saying “Is not this the one sitting and begging?” 9 Others were saying that “This is he”. Others were saying, “No, but he is like him”. That one was saying that “I am he”. 10 So they were saying to him, “How then were your eyes opened?” 11 That one answered, “The man being called Jesus made mud and smeared it on my eyes, and said to me ‘Go to Siloam and wash’. So having gone away and washed, I received-sight”. 12 And they said to him, “Where is that One?” He says, “I do not know”.
The Pharisees Were Divided Over This Sign, Because It Was Done On a Sabbath
13 They bring him to the Pharisees— the formerly blind one. 14 Now it was a Sabbath on the day Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes. 15 Therefore the Pharisees also were asking him again how he received-sight. And the one said to them, “He put mud on my eyes, and I washed, and I see”. 16 Then some of the Pharisees were saying, “This man is not from God, because He does not keep the Sabbath”. But others were saying, “How is a sinful man able to do such signs?” And there was a division among them. 17 So they say to the blind one again, “What do you say about Him, seeing-that He opened your eyes?” And the one said that “He is a prophet”.
The Pharisees Question Whether He Was Blind, And Call In The Parents
18 Then the Jews did not believe concerning him that he was blind and received-sight— until they called the parents of him having received-sight. 19 And they asked them, saying “Is this your son whom you are saying that he was born blind? How then does he see now?” 20 So his parents responded 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 has a mature-age. He will speak about himself ”. 22 His parents said these things because they were fearing the Jews. For the Jews already had agreed that if anyone confessed Him as the Christ, he should become put-out-of-the-synagogue. 23 For this reason his parents said that “He has a mature-age, question him”.
They Don’t Want To Believe Jesus Did It, So They Question The Man Again
24 Then they called for a second time the man who was blind, and said to him, “Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner”. 25 So that one responded, “Whether He is a sinner, I do not know. I know one thing— that being a blind one, 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, “I told you already and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? You also do not want to become His disciples, do you?” 28 And they reviled him and said, “You are a disciple of that One, but we are disciples of Moses. 29 We know that God has spoken to Moses. But we do not know where this One is from”. 30 The man responded and said to them, “Why, in this is[d] the marvel[e]— that you do not know where He is from, and He opened my eyes! 31 We know that God does not hear[f] sinners. But if anyone is a God-fearing one, and is doing His will— He hears this one. 32 It was not ever heard that someone opened the eyes of one having been born blind. 33 If this One were not from God, He would be able to do nothing”. 34 They responded and said to him, “You were born entirely in sins, and you are teaching us?” And they threw him outside[g].
Jesus Tells The Man, I Came So The Blind May See And The Seeing May Become Blind
35 Jesus heard that they threw him outside, and having found him, said “Do you believe in the Son of Man?” 36 That one responded and said, “Who indeed is He, Sir, in order that I may believe in Him?” 37 Jesus said to him, “You have both seen Him, and that One is the One speaking with you”. 38 And the one said, “Master, I believe”, and prostrated-himself [h] before Him. 39 And Jesus said, “I came into this world for judgment— so that the ones not seeing[i] may be seeing, and the ones seeing may become blind”.
You Pharisees Are Thieves, Not Shepherds, So God’s Sheep Do Not Follow You
40 Some of the Pharisees heard these things— the ones being with him— and said to Him, “We indeed are not blind ones, are we?” 41 Jesus said to them, “If you were blind[j] ones, you would not have[k] sin. But you are saying now that ‘We see’— your sin remains.

Curación de un ciego
9 Al pasar Jesús, vio a un hombre ciego de nacimiento. 2 Y sus discípulos le preguntaron, diciendo: Rabí[a](A), ¿quién pecó, este(B) o sus padres(C), para que naciera ciego? 3 Jesús respondió: Ni este pecó, ni sus padres; sino que está ciego para que las obras de Dios(D) se manifiesten en él. 4 Nosotros debemos[b] hacer las obras del que me envió mientras es de día(E); la noche viene cuando nadie puede trabajar. 5 Mientras estoy en el mundo, yo soy la luz del mundo(F). 6 Habiendo dicho esto, escupió en tierra(G), e hizo barro con la saliva y le untó el barro en los ojos, 7 y le dijo: Ve y lávate en el estanque de Siloé(H) (que quiere decir, Enviado). Él fue, pues, y se lavó(I) y regresó viendo(J). 8 Entonces los vecinos y los que antes le habían visto que era mendigo, decían: ¿No es este el que se sentaba y mendigaba(K)? 9 Unos decían: Él es; y otros decían: No, pero se parece a él. Él decía: Yo soy. 10 Entonces le decían: ¿Cómo te fueron abiertos los ojos? 11 Él respondió: El hombre que se llama Jesús hizo barro, lo untó sobre mis ojos y me dijo: «Ve al Siloé y lávate». Así que fui, me lavé y recibí la vista(L). 12 Y le dijeron: ¿Dónde está Él? Él dijo*: No sé.
13 Llevaron* ante los fariseos al que antes había sido ciego. 14 Y era día de reposo el día en que Jesús hizo el barro y le abrió los ojos(M). 15 Entonces los fariseos volvieron también a preguntarle cómo había recibido la vista(N). Y él les dijo: Me puso barro sobre los ojos, y me lavé y veo. 16 Por eso algunos de los fariseos decían: Este hombre no viene[c] de Dios, porque no guarda el día de reposo(O). Pero otros decían: ¿Cómo puede un hombre pecador hacer tales señales[d](P)? Y había división entre ellos(Q). 17 Entonces dijeron* otra vez al ciego(R): ¿Qué dices tú de Él, ya que te abrió los ojos? Y él dijo: Es un profeta(S). 18 Entonces los judíos(T) no le creyeron que había sido ciego, y que había recibido la vista, hasta que llamaron a los padres del que había recibido la vista, 19 y les preguntaron, diciendo: ¿Es este vuestro hijo, el que vosotros decís que nació ciego? ¿Cómo es que ahora ve? 20 Sus padres entonces les respondieron, y dijeron: Sabemos que este es nuestro hijo, y que nació ciego; 21 pero cómo es que ahora ve, no lo sabemos; o quién le abrió los ojos, nosotros no lo sabemos. Preguntadle a él; edad tiene, él hablará por sí mismo. 22 Sus padres dijeron esto porque tenían miedo a los judíos(U); porque los judíos ya se habían puesto de acuerdo(V) en que si alguno confesaba que Jesús[e] era el Cristo[f], fuera expulsado de la sinagoga(W). 23 Por eso sus padres dijeron: Edad tiene; preguntadle a él(X).
24 Por segunda vez llamaron al hombre que había sido ciego y le dijeron: Da gloria a Dios[g](Y); nosotros sabemos que este hombre es un pecador(Z). 25 Entonces él les contestó: Si es pecador, no lo sé; una cosa sé: que yo era ciego y ahora veo. 26 Le dijeron entonces: ¿Qué te hizo? ¿Cómo te abrió los ojos? 27 Él les contestó: Ya os lo dije(AA) y no escuchasteis(AB); ¿por qué queréis oírlo otra vez? ¿Es que también vosotros queréis haceros discípulos suyos? 28 Entonces lo insultaron, y le dijeron: Tú eres discípulo de ese hombre; pero nosotros somos discípulos de Moisés(AC). 29 Nosotros sabemos que Dios habló a Moisés, pero en cuanto a este, no sabemos de dónde es(AD). 30 Respondió el hombre y les dijo: Pues en esto hay algo asombroso, que vosotros no sepáis de dónde es, y sin embargo, a mí me abrió los ojos. 31 Sabemos que Dios no oye a los pecadores; pero si alguien teme a Dios y hace su voluntad, a este oye(AE). 32 Desde el principio jamás se ha oído decir que alguien abriera los ojos a un ciego de nacimiento. 33 Si este no viniera[h] de Dios, no podría hacer nada(AF). 34 Respondieron ellos y le dijeron: Tú naciste enteramente en pecados(AG), ¿y tú nos enseñas a nosotros? Y lo echaron fuera(AH).
35 Jesús oyó decir que lo habían echado fuera(AI), y hallándolo, le dijo: ¿Crees tú en el Hijo del Hombre[i](AJ)? 36 Él respondió y dijo: ¿Y quién es, Señor, para que yo crea en Él(AK)? 37 Jesús le dijo: Pues[j] tú le has visto, y el que está hablando contigo(AL), ese es. 38 Él entonces dijo: Creo, Señor. Y le adoró(AM). 39 Y Jesús dijo: Yo vine a este mundo para juicio(AN); para que los que no ven, vean(AO), y para que los que ven se vuelvan ciegos(AP). 40 Algunos de los fariseos que estaban con Él oyeron esto y le dijeron: ¿Acaso nosotros también somos ciegos(AQ)? 41 Jesús les dijo: Si fuerais ciegos, no tendríais pecado(AR); pero ahora, porque decís: «Vemos», vuestro pecado permanece(AS).

治好生来瞎眼的人
9 耶稣走路的时候，看见一个生下来就瞎眼的人。 2 他的门徒问他：“拉比，这人生下来就瞎眼，是谁犯了罪？是他呢，还是他的父母呢？” 3 耶稣回答：“不是他犯了罪，也不是他的父母犯了罪，而是要在他身上彰显 神的作为。 4 趁着白昼，我们必须作那差我来者的工；黑夜一到，就没有人能作工了。 5 我在世上的时候，是世界的光。” 6 说了这话，就吐唾沫在地上，用唾沫和了一点泥，把泥抹在瞎子的眼睛上， 7 对他说：“你去西罗亚池洗一洗吧。”（西罗亚就是“奉差遣”的意思。）于是他就去了，洗完了，走的时候，就看见了。 8 那时，邻居和以前常常见他讨饭的人说：“这不是那一向坐着讨饭的人吗？” 9 有的说：“是他。”有的说：“不是他，只是像他。”他自己说：“是我。” 10 他们就问他：“你的眼睛是怎样开的呢？” 11 他回答：“那名叫耶稣的人和了一点泥，抹在我的眼上，对我说：‘你去西罗亚池洗一洗吧。’我去一洗，就看见了。” 12 他们说：“那人在哪里？”他说：“我不知道。”
法利赛人查问瞎眼的人
13 他们就把那个从前瞎眼的人带到法利赛人那里。 14 耶稣和了泥开他眼睛的那一天，正是安息日。 15 法利赛人又问他是怎样可以看见的。他告诉他们：“耶稣把泥抹在我的眼上，我一洗就看见了。” 16 有几个法利赛人说：“那个人不是从 神那里来的，因为他不守安息日。”另外有些人说：“一个罪人怎能行这样的神迹呢？”他们就起了纷争。 17 他们再对瞎子说：“他既然开了你的眼睛，你说他是甚么人？”他说：“他是个先知。”
18 犹太人不信他从前是瞎眼，现在才能看见的，于是把他的父母叫来， 19 问他们：“这是你们所说那生下来就瞎眼的儿子吗？现在他怎么又能看见呢？” 20 他的父母回答：“我们知道他是我们的儿子，生下来就瞎眼； 21 现在他是怎样可以看见的，我们不知道；谁开了他的眼睛，我们也不知道。你们问他吧；他已经长大成人，可以替自己讲话了。” 22 他的父母这样说，是因为怕犹太人，原来犹太人已经定好了，不论谁承认耶稣是基督，就要把那人赶出会堂。 23 因此他的父母说：“他已经长大成人，你们问他吧。”
24 于是法利赛人第二次把那从前瞎眼的人叫来，对他说：“你应当归荣耀给 神，我们知道这人是个罪人。” 25 那人回答：“他是不是个罪人，我不知道；我只知道一件事，就是我本来是瞎眼的，现在能看见了。” 26 他们就问：“他向你作了甚么呢？他怎样开了你的眼睛呢？” 27 他回答：“我已经告诉你们，但是你们不听；为甚么现在又想听呢？你们也想成为他的门徒吗？” 28 他们就骂他，说：“你才是他的门徒，我们是摩西的门徒。 29 我们知道 神曾对摩西说话；只是这个人，我们不知道他从哪里来。” 30 那人对他们说：“这就奇怪了，他开了我的眼睛，你们竟然不知道他从哪里来。 31 我们知道 神不听罪人的祈求，只听那敬畏 神，遵行他旨意的人。 32 自古以来，没有人听过生下来就是瞎眼的，有人可以开他们的眼睛。 33 这人若不是从 神那里来的，他就不能作甚么。” 34 他们说：“你的确是在罪中生的，还敢教训我们吗？”就把他赶出去。
35 耶稣听见他们把他赶出去，后来遇见他的时候，就对他说：“你信人子吗？” 36 他说：“先生，谁是人子，好让我信他呢？” 37 耶稣说：“你已经见过他，现在跟你说话的就是他。” 38 那人说：“主啊，我信。”就向他下拜。 39 耶稣说：“我到这世上来是为了审判，使那看不见的能够看见，能看见的反而成了瞎眼的。”
40 有些和耶稣在一起的法利赛人听了这话，就说：“难道我们也是瞎眼的吗？” 41 耶稣对他们说：“如果你们是瞎眼的，就没有罪了；但现在你们说‘我们能看见’，所以你们还是有罪的。”

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)
