John 9
New American Standard Bible
Healing the Man Born Blind
9 As Jesus passed by, He saw a man who had been blind from birth. 2 And His disciples asked Him, “(A)Rabbi, who sinned, (B)this man or his (C)parents, that he would be born blind?” 3 Jesus answered, “It was neither that this man sinned, nor his parents; but it was (D)so that the works of God might be displayed in him. 4 We must carry out 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)spit on the ground, and made mud from the saliva, and applied the mud to his eyes, 7 and said to him, “Go, wash in (H)the pool of Siloam” (which is translated, Sent). So he left and (I)washed, and (J)came back seeing. 8 So the neighbors, and those who previously saw [a]him as a beggar, were saying, “Is this not 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.” [b]The man himself 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 mud, and spread it on my eyes, and said to me, ‘Go to (L)Siloam and wash’; so I went away and washed, and I received sight.” 12 And they said to him, “Where is He?” He *said, “I do not know.”
Controversy over the Man
13 They *brought [c]the man who was previously blind to the Pharisees. 14 (M)Now it was a Sabbath on the day that Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes. 15 (N)Then the Pharisees also were asking him again how he received his sight. And he said to them, “He applied mud to my eyes, and I washed, and I see.” 16 Therefore 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 man who is a sinner perform such [d](P)signs?” And (Q)there was dissension among them. 17 So they *said (R)again to the man who was blind, “What do you say about Him, since He opened your eyes?” And he said, “He is a (S)prophet.”
18 (T)The Jews then did not believe it about him, that he had been blind and had received sight, until they called the parents of the very one who had received his sight, 19 and they questioned them, saying, “Is this your son, who you say was born blind? Then how does he now see?” 20 His parents then 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 [e]Jews; for the Jews (V)had already reached the decision that if anyone confessed Him to be [f]Christ, (W)he was to be excommunicated from the synagogue. 23 It was for this reason that his parents said, “(X)He is of age; ask him.”
24 So for a second time they summoned 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 hear it again? You do not want to become His disciples too, do you?” 28 They spoke abusively to 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 the amazing thing, that you do not know where He is from, and yet He opened my eyes! 31 We know that (AE)God does not listen to sinners; but if someone is [g]God-fearing and does His will, He listens to him. 32 [h]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 him, “(AG)You were born entirely in sins, and yet you are teaching us?” So they [i](AH)put him out.
Jesus Affirms His Deity
35 Jesus heard that they had [j](AI)put him out, and upon finding him, He said, “Do you believe in the (AJ)Son of Man?” 36 He answered [k]by saying, “And (AK)who is He, [l]Sir, 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, “I believe, Lord.” 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 (AP)those who see may become blind.” 40 Those who were with Him from the Pharisees heard these things and said to Him, “(AQ)We are not blind too, are we?” 41 Jesus said to them, “(AR)If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now that you maintain, ‘(AS)We see,’ your sin remains.

Bulgarian Bible
9 И когато заминаваше, видя един сляпороден човек.
2 И учениците Му Го попитаха казвайки: Учителю, поради чий грях, негов ли, или на родителите му, той се е родил сляп?
3 Исус отговори: Нито поради негов грях, нито на родителите му, но за да се явят в него Божиите дела.
4 Ние трябва до вършим делата на Този, Който Ме е пратил, докле е ден; иде нощ, когато никой не може да работи.
5 Когато съм в света, светлина съм на света.
6 Като рече това, плюна на земята, направи кал с плюнката и намаза с калта очите му;
7 и рече му: Иди, омий се в къпалнята Силоам (което значи Пратен). И тъй, той отиде, оми се, и дойде прогледнал.
8 А съседите и ония, които бяха виждали по-преди, че беше просяк, казваха: Не е ли е този, който седеше и просеше?
9 Едни казваха: Той е; други казваха: Не, а прилича на него. Той каза: Аз съм.
10 Затова му рекоха: Тогава как ти се отвориха очите?
11 Той отговори: Човекът който се нарича Исус, направи кал, намаза очите ми, и рече ми: Иди на Силоам и омий се. И тъй отидох, и като се омих прогледах.
12 Тогава му рекоха: Где е Той? Казва: Не зная.
13 Завеждат при фарисеите някогашния слепец.
14 А беше събота, когато Исус направи калта и му отвори очите.
15 И тъй, пак го питаха и фарисеите как е прогледал. И той им рече: Кал тури на очите ми, омих се и гледам.
16 Затова някои от фарисеите казваха: Този човек не е от Бога, защото не пази съботата. А други казваха: Как може грешен човек да върши такива знамения? И възникна раздор по между им.
17 Казват пак на слепеца: Ти що казваш за Него, като ти е отворил очите? И той рече: Пророк е.
18 Но юдеите не вярваха, че той е бил сляп и прогледал, докато не повикаха родителите на прогледалия,
19 та ги попитаха казвайки: Тоя ли е вашият син, за когото казвате, че се е родил сляп? А сега как вижда?
20 Родителите в отговор казаха: Знаем, че този е нашият син, и че се роди сляп;
21 а как сега вижда, не знаем; или кой му е отворил очите, не знаем; него питайте, той е на възраст, сам нека говори за себе си.
22 Това казаха родителите му, защото се бояха от юдеите; понеже юдеите се бяха вече споразумели помежду си да отлъчат от синагогата онзи, който би Го изповядал, че е Христос.
23 По тая причина родителите му, рекоха: Той е на възраст, него питайте.
24 И тъй, повикаха втори път човека, който беше сляп, и му рекоха: Въздай слава на Бога; ние знаем, че този човек е грешник.
25 А той отговори: Дали е грешник, не зная; едно зная, че бях сляп, а сега виждам.
26 Затова му казаха: Какво ти направи? Как ти отвори очите?
27 Отговори им: Казах ви ей сега, и не чухте; защо искате пак да чуете? Да не би и вие да искате да Му станете ученици?
28 Тогава те го изругаха, казвайки: Ти си Негов ученик; а ние сме Моисееви ученици.
29 Ние знаем, че на Моисея Бог е говорил, а Този не знаем откъде е.
30 Човекът в отговор им каза: Това е чудно, че вие не знаете откъде е, но пак ми отвори очите.
31 Знаем, че Бог не слуша грешници; но ако някой е благочестив и върши Божията воля, него слуша.
32 А пък от века не се е чуло да е отворил някой очи на сляпороден човек.
33 Ако не беше Този Човек от Бога, не би могъл нищо да стори.
34 Те в отговор му казаха: Ти цял в грехове си роден, и нас ли учиш? И го изпъдиха вън Или: отлъчиха го.>.
35 Чу Исус, че го изпъдили вън, и, като го намери, рече: Ти вярваш ли в Божия Син?
36 Той в отговор рече: А Кой е Той, Господи, за да вярвам в Него?
37 Исус му рече: И видял си Го, и Който говори с тебе, Той е.
38 А той рече: Вярвам Господи; и поклони Му се.
39 И Исус рече: За съдба дойдох Аз на тоя свят, за да виждат невиждащите, а виждащите да ослепеят.
40 Ония от фарисеите, които бяха с Него, като чуха това, рекоха Му: Да не сме и ние слепи?
41 Исус им рече: Ако бяхте слепи, не бихте имали грях, но по эяяя ГЛАВА 10
John 9
King James Version
9 And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.
2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?
3 Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.
4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.
5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
6 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,
7 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.
8 The neighbours therefore, and they which before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?
9 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.
