John 9
New King James Version
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 traz luz aos cegos
9 Enquanto caminhava, Jesus viu um homem cego de nascença. 2 Seus discípulos perguntaram: “Rabi, por que este homem nasceu cego? Foi por causa de seus próprios pecados ou dos pecados de seus pais?”.
3 Jesus respondeu: “Nem uma coisa nem outra. Isso aconteceu para que o poder de Deus se manifestasse nele. 4 Devemos cumprir logo as tarefas que nos foram dadas por aquele que me enviou. A noite se aproxima, quando ninguém pode trabalhar. 5 Mas, enquanto estou aqui no mundo, eu sou a luz do mundo”.
6 Depois de dizer isso, Jesus cuspiu no chão, misturou a terra com saliva e aplicou-a nos olhos do cego. 7 Em seguida, disse: “Vá lavar-se no tanque de Siloé” (que significa “enviado”). O homem foi, lavou-se e voltou enxergando.
8 Seus vizinhos e outros que o conheciam como mendigo começaram a perguntar: “Não é este o homem que costumava ficar sentado pedindo esmolas?”. 9 Alguns diziam que sim, e outros diziam: “Não, apenas se parece com ele”.
O mendigo, porém, insistia: “Sim, sou eu mesmo!”.
10 “Quem curou você?”, perguntaram eles. “O que aconteceu?”
11 Ele respondeu: “O homem chamado Jesus misturou terra com saliva, colocou-a em meus olhos e disse: ‘Vá lavar-se no tanque de Siloé’. Eu fui e me lavei, e agora posso ver!”.
12 “Onde está esse homem?”, perguntaram.
“Não sei”, respondeu ele.
13 Então levaram aos fariseus o homem que havia sido cego, 14 pois foi no sábado que Jesus misturou terra com saliva e o curou. 15 Os fariseus encheram o homem de perguntas sobre o que havia acontecido, e ele respondeu: “Ele colocou terra com saliva em meus olhos e, depois que eu me lavei, passei a enxergar!”.
16 Alguns dos fariseus disseram: “Esse homem não é de Deus, pois trabalha no sábado”. Outros disseram: “Mas como um pecador poderia fazer sinais como esse?”. E havia entre eles uma divergência de opiniões.
17 Os fariseus voltaram a perguntar ao homem que havia sido cego: “O que você diz desse homem que o curou?”.
“Ele deve ser profeta”, respondeu o homem.
18 Os líderes judeus se recusavam a crer que ele havia sido cego e estava curado, por isso mandaram chamar os pais dele 19 e perguntaram: “Ele é seu filho? Ele nasceu cego? Se foi, como pode ver agora?”.
20 Os pais responderam: “Sabemos que ele é nosso filho e que nasceu cego, 21 mas não sabemos como pode ver agora nem quem o curou. Ele tem idade suficiente para falar por si mesmo. Perguntem a ele”.
22 Seus pais disseram isso por medo dos líderes judeus, pois estes haviam anunciado que, se alguém dissesse que Jesus era o Cristo, seria expulso da sinagoga. 23 Por isso disseram: “Ele tem idade suficiente. Perguntem a ele”. 24 Então, pela segunda vez, chamaram o homem que havia sido cego e lhe disseram: “Deus é quem deve receber glória por aquilo que aconteceu, pois sabemos que esse Jesus é pecador”.
25 “Não sei se ele é pecador”, respondeu o homem. “Mas uma coisa sei: eu era cego e agora vejo!”
26 “Mas o que ele fez?”, perguntaram. “Como ele o curou?”
27 “Eu já lhes disse!”, exclamou o homem. “Vocês não ouviram? Por que querem ouvir outra vez? Por acaso também querem se tornar discípulos dele?”
28 Então eles o insultaram e disseram: “Você é discípulo dele, mas nós somos discípulos de Moisés! 29 Sabemos que Deus falou a Moisés, mas nem sabemos de onde vem esse homem”.
30 “Que coisa mais estranha!”, respondeu o homem. “Ele curou meus olhos e vocês não sabem de onde ele vem? 31 Sabemos que Deus não atende pecadores, mas está pronto a ouvir aqueles que o adoram e fazem a sua vontade. 32 Desde o princípio do mundo, ninguém foi capaz de abrir os olhos de um cego de nascença. 33 Se esse homem não fosse de Deus, não teria conseguido fazê-lo.”
34 “Você nasceu inteiramente pecador!”, disseram eles. “E quer ensinar a nós?” Então o expulsaram da sinagoga.
Cegueira espiritual
35 Quando Jesus soube do que havia acontecido, procurou o homem e lhe disse: “Você crê no Filho do Homem?”.[a]
36 “Quem é ele, senhor?”, perguntou o homem. “Eu quero crer nele.”
37 Jesus respondeu: “Você o viu, e ele está falando com você!”.
38 “Sim, Senhor, eu creio!”, declarou o homem. E adorou a Jesus.
39 Então Jesus disse:[b] “Eu vim a este mundo para julgar, para dar visão aos cegos e para fazer que os que veem se tornem cegos”.
40 Alguns fariseus que estavam por perto o ouviram e perguntaram: “Você está dizendo que nós somos cegos?”.
41 “Se vocês fossem cegos, não seriam culpados”, respondeu Jesus. “Mas a culpa de vocês permanece, pois afirmam que podem ver.”

Jesus Heals a Man Born Blind
9 As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth. 2 And his disciples asked him, (A)“Rabbi, (B)who sinned, (C)this man or (D)his parents, that he was born blind?” 3 Jesus answered, “It was not that this man sinned, or his parents, but (E)that the works of God might be displayed in him. 4 We must (F)work the works of him who sent me (G)while it is day; night is coming, when no one can work. 5 As long as I am in the world, (H)I am the light of the world.” 6 Having said these things, (I)he spit on the ground and made mud with the saliva. (J)Then he anointed the man's eyes with the mud 7 and said to him, “Go, wash in (K)the pool of Siloam” (which means Sent). So he went and washed and (L)came back seeing.
8 The neighbors and those who had seen him before as a beggar were saying, (M)“Is this not the man who used to sit and beg?” 9 Some said, “It is he.” Others said, “No, but he is like him.” He kept saying, “I am the man.” 10 So they said to him, “Then how were your eyes opened?” 11 He answered, (N)“The man called Jesus made mud and anointed my eyes and said to me, ‘Go to Siloam and wash.’ So I went and washed and received my sight.” 12 They said to him, “Where is he?” He said, “I do not know.”
13 They brought to the Pharisees the man who had formerly been blind. 14 (O)Now it was a Sabbath day when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes. 15 (P)So the Pharisees again asked him how he had received his sight. And he said to them, “He put mud on my eyes, and I washed, and I see.” 16 Some of the Pharisees said, “This man is not (Q)from God, (R)for he does not keep the Sabbath.” But others said, (S)“How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?” And (T)there was a division among them. 17 So they said again to the blind man, “What do you say about him, since he has opened your eyes?” He said, (U)“He is a prophet.”
18 (V)The Jews[a] did not believe that he had been blind and had received his sight, until they called the parents of the man who had received his sight 19 and asked them, “Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then does he now see?” 20 His parents answered, “We know that this is our son and that he was born blind. 21 But how he now sees we do not know, nor do we know who opened his eyes. Ask him; he is of age. He will speak for himself.” 22 (His parents said these things (W)because they feared the Jews, for (X)the Jews had already agreed that if anyone should (Y)confess Jesus[b] to be Christ, (Z)he was to be put out of the synagogue. 23 Therefore his parents said, (AA)“He is of age; ask him.”)
24 So for the second time they called the man who had been blind and said to him, (AB)“Give glory to God. We know that (AC)this man is a sinner.” 25 He answered, “Whether he is a sinner I do not know. One thing I do know, that though I (AD)was blind, now I see.” 26 They said to him, “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?” 27 He answered them, (AE)“I have told you already, and you would not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you also want to become his disciples?” 28 And they reviled him, saying, “You are his disciple, but (AF)we are disciples of Moses. 29 We know that God has spoken to Moses, but as for this man, (AG)we do not know where he comes from.” 30 The man answered, “Why, this is (AH)an amazing thing! (AI)You do not know where he comes from, and yet he opened my eyes. 31 We know that (AJ)God does not listen to sinners, but (AK)if anyone is a worshiper of God and does his will, God listens to him. 32 Never since the world began has it been heard that anyone opened the eyes of a man born blind. 33 (AL)If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.” 34 They answered him, (AM)“You were born in utter sin, and would you teach us?” And they (AN)cast him out.
35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out, and having found him he said, “Do you believe in (AO)the Son of Man?”[c] 36 He answered, (AP)“And who is he, sir, that I may believe in him?” 37 Jesus said to him, “You have seen him, and (AQ)it is he who is speaking to you.” 38 He said, “Lord, I believe,” and he worshiped him. 39 Jesus said, (AR)“For judgment I came into this world, (AS)that those who do not see may see, and (AT)those who see may become blind.” 40 Some of the Pharisees near him heard these things, and said to him, (AU)“Are we also blind?” 41 Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, (AV)you would have no guilt;[d] but now that you say, ‘We see,’ your guilt remains.
