9 As he was walking along, he saw a man blind from birth.
2 “Master,” his disciples asked him, “why was this man born blind? Was it a result of his own sins or those of his parents?”
3 “Neither,” Jesus answered. “But to demonstrate the power of God. 4 All of us must quickly carry out the tasks assigned us by the one who sent me, for there is little time left before the night falls and all work comes to an end. 5 But while I am still here in the world, I give it my light.”
6 Then he spat on the ground and made mud from the spittle and smoothed the mud over the blind man’s eyes, 7 and told him, “Go and wash in the Pool of Siloam” (the word Siloam means “Sent”). So the man went where he was sent and washed and came back seeing!
8 His neighbors and others who knew him as a blind beggar asked each other, “Is this the same fellow—that beggar?”
9 Some said yes, and some said no. “It can’t be the same man,” they thought, “but he surely looks like him!”
And the beggar said, “I am the same man!”
10 Then they asked him how in the world he could see. What had happened?
11 And he told them, “A man they call Jesus made mud and smoothed it over my eyes and told me to go to the Pool of Siloam and wash off the mud. I did, and I can see!”
12 “Where is he now?” they asked.
“I don’t know,” he replied.
13 Then they took the man to the Pharisees. 14 Now as it happened, this all occurred on a Sabbath.[a] 15 Then the Pharisees asked him all about it. So he told them how Jesus had smoothed the mud over his eyes, and when it was washed away, he could see!
16 Some of them said, “Then this fellow Jesus is not from God because he is working on the Sabbath.”
Others said, “But how could an ordinary sinner do such miracles?” So there was a deep division of opinion among them.
17 Then the Pharisees turned on the man who had been blind and demanded, “This man who opened your eyes—who do you say he is?”
“I think he must be a prophet sent from God,” the man replied.
18 The Jewish leaders wouldn’t believe he had been blind, until they called in his parents 19 and asked them, “Is this your son? Was he born blind? If so, how can he see?”
20 His parents replied, “We know this is our son and that he was born blind, 21 but we don’t know what happened to make him see, or who did it. He is old enough to speak for himself. Ask him.”
22-23 They said this in fear of the Jewish leaders who had announced that anyone saying Jesus was the Messiah would be excommunicated.
24 So for the second time they called in the man who had been blind and told him, “Give the glory to God, not to Jesus, for we know Jesus is an evil person.”
25 “I don’t know whether he is good or bad,” the man replied, “but I know this: I was blind, and now I see!”
26 “But what did he do?” they asked. “How did he heal you?”
27 “Look!” the man exclaimed. “I told you once; didn’t you listen? Why do you want to hear it again? Do you want to become his disciples too?”
28 Then they cursed him and said, “You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses. 29 We know God has spoken to Moses, but as for this fellow, we don’t know anything about him.”
30 “Why, that’s very strange!” the man replied. “He can heal blind men, and yet you don’t know anything about him! 31 Well, God doesn’t listen to evil men, but he has open ears to those who worship him and do his will. 32 Since the world began there has never been anyone who could open the eyes of someone born blind. 33 If this man were not from God, he couldn’t do it.”
34 “You illegitimate bastard,[b] you!” they shouted. “Are you trying to teach us?” And they threw him out.
35 When Jesus heard what had happened, he found the man and said, “Do you believe in the Messiah?”[c]
36 The man answered, “Who is he, sir, for I want to.”
37 “You have seen him,” Jesus said, “and he is speaking to you!”
38 “Yes, Lord,” the man said, “I believe!” And he worshiped Jesus.
39 Then Jesus told him, “I have come into the world to give sight to those who are spiritually blind and to show those who think they see that they are blind.”
40 The Pharisees who were standing there asked, “Are you saying we are blind?”
41 “If you were blind, you wouldn’t be guilty,” Jesus replied. “But your guilt remains because you claim to know what you are doing.

醫好生來瞎眼的
9 耶穌過去的時候，看見一個人生來是瞎眼的。 2 門徒問耶穌說：「拉比，這人生來是瞎眼的，是誰犯了罪？是這人呢，是他父母呢？」 3 耶穌回答說：「也不是這人犯了罪，也不是他父母犯了罪，是要在他身上顯出神的作為來。 4 趁著白日，我們必須做那差我來者的工；黑夜將到，就沒有人能做工了。 5 我在世上的時候，是世上的光。」 6 耶穌說了這話，就吐唾沫在地上，用唾沫和泥抹在瞎子的眼睛上， 7 對他說：「你往西羅亞池子裡去洗。」（「西羅亞」翻出來就是「奉差遣」。）他去一洗，回頭就看見了。 8 他的鄰舍和那素常見他是討飯的，就說：「這不是那從前坐著討飯的人嗎？」 9 有人說：「是他。」又有人說：「不是，卻是像他。」他自己說：「是我。」 10 他們對他說：「你的眼睛是怎樣開的呢？」 11 他回答說：「有一個人名叫耶穌，他和泥抹我的眼睛，對我說：『你往西羅亞池子去洗。』我去一洗，就看見了。」 12 他們說：「那個人在哪裡？」他說：「我不知道。」
法利賽人盤問醫好的瞎子
13 他們把從前瞎眼的人帶到法利賽人那裡。 14 耶穌和泥開他眼睛的日子是安息日。 15 法利賽人也問他是怎麼得看見的。瞎子對他們說：「他把泥抹在我的眼睛上，我去一洗，就看見了。」 16 法利賽人中有的說：「這個人不是從神來的，因為他不守安息日。」又有人說：「一個罪人怎能行這樣的神蹟呢？」他們就起了紛爭。 17 他們又對瞎子說：「他既然開了你的眼睛，你說他是怎樣的人呢？」他說：「是個先知。」 18 猶太人不信他從前是瞎眼、後來能看見的，等到叫了他的父母來， 19 問他們說：「這是你們的兒子嗎？你們說他生來是瞎眼的，如今怎麼能看見了呢？」 20 他父母回答說：「他是我們的兒子，生來就瞎眼，這是我們知道的。 21 至於他如今怎麼能看見，我們卻不知道。是誰開了他的眼睛，我們也不知道。他已經成了人，你們問他吧，他自己必能說。」 22 他父母說這話是怕猶太人，因為猶太人已經商議定了，若有認耶穌是基督的，要把他趕出會堂。 23 因此他父母說「他已經成了人，你們問他吧」。 24 所以法利賽人第二次叫了那從前瞎眼的人來，對他說：「你該將榮耀歸給神，我們知道這人是個罪人。」 25 他說：「他是個罪人不是，我不知道。有一件事我知道：從前我是眼瞎的，如今能看了！」 26 他們就問他說：「他向你做什麼？是怎麼開了你的眼睛呢？」 27 他回答說：「我方才告訴你們，你們不聽，為什麼又要聽呢？莫非你們也要做他的門徒嗎？」 28 他們就罵他，說：「你是他的門徒！我們是摩西的門徒。 29 神對摩西說話是我們知道的，只是這個人，我們不知道他從哪裡來！」 30 那人回答說：「他開了我的眼睛，你們竟不知道他從哪裡來，這真是奇怪！ 31 我們知道神不聽罪人，唯有敬奉神、遵行他旨意的，神才聽他。 32 從創世以來，未曾聽見有人把生來是瞎子的眼睛開了。 33 這人若不是從神來的，什麼也不能做。」 34 他們回答說：「你全然生在罪孽中，還要教訓我們嗎？」於是把他趕出去了。
耶穌收留被逐的瞎子
35 耶穌聽說他們把他趕出去，後來遇見他，就說：「你信神的兒子嗎？」 36 他回答說：「主啊，誰是神的兒子，叫我信他呢？」 37 耶穌說：「你已經看見他，現在和你說話的就是他。」 38 他說：「主啊，我信！」就拜耶穌。 39 耶穌說：「我為審判到這世上來，叫不能看見的可以看見，能看見的反瞎了眼。」 40 同他在那裡的法利賽人聽見這話，就說：「難道我們也瞎了眼嗎？」 41 耶穌對他們說：「你們若瞎了眼，就沒有罪了；但如今你們說『我們能看見』，所以你們的罪還在。

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.

Jesús sana a un ciego de nacimiento
9 A su paso, Jesús vio a un hombre que era ciego de nacimiento. 2 Y sus discípulos preguntaron:
—Rabí, para que este hombre haya nacido ciego, ¿quién pecó, él o sus padres?
3 —No está así debido a sus pecados ni a los de sus padres —respondió Jesús—, sino que esto sucedió para que la obra de Dios se hiciera evidente en su vida. 4 Mientras sea de día, tenemos que llevar a cabo la obra del que me envió. Viene la noche cuando nadie puede trabajar. 5 Mientras esté yo en el mundo, luz soy del mundo.
6 Dicho esto, escupió en el suelo, hizo barro con la saliva y se lo untó en los ojos al ciego, 7 diciéndole:
—Ve y lávate en el estanque de Siloé (que significa “Enviado”).
El ciego fue y se lavó, entonces al volver ya veía.
8 Sus vecinos y los que lo habían visto pedir limosna decían: «¿No es este el que se sienta a mendigar?». 9 Unos aseguraban: «Sí, es él». Otros decían: «No es él, sino que se le parece». Pero él insistía: «Soy yo».
10 —¿Cómo entonces se te han abierto los ojos? —le preguntaron.
11 Y él respondió:
—Ese hombre que se llama Jesús hizo un poco de barro, me lo untó en los ojos y me dijo: “Ve y lávate en Siloé”. Así que fui, me lavé y entonces pude ver.
12 —¿Y dónde está ese hombre? —le preguntaron.
—No lo sé —respondió.
Las autoridades investigan la sanidad del ciego
13 Llevaron ante los fariseos al que había sido ciego. 14 Era sábado cuando Jesús hizo el barro y le abrió los ojos al ciego. 15 Por eso los fariseos, a su vez, le preguntaron cómo había recibido la vista.
—Me untó barro en los ojos, me lavé y ahora veo —respondió.
16 Algunos de los fariseos comentaban: «Ese hombre no viene de parte de Dios, porque no respeta el sábado». Otros objetaban: «¿Cómo puede un pecador hacer semejantes señales?». Y había desacuerdo entre ellos.
17 Por eso interrogaron de nuevo al ciego:
—¿Y qué opinas tú de él? Fue a ti a quien te abrió los ojos.
—Yo digo que es profeta —contestó.
18 Pero los judíos no creían que el hombre hubiera sido ciego y ahora viera. Entonces llamaron a sus padres 19 y les preguntaron:
—¿Es este su hijo, el que dicen ustedes que nació ciego? ¿Cómo es que ahora puede ver?
20 —Sabemos que este es nuestro hijo —contestaron los padres—, y sabemos también que nació ciego. 21 Lo que no sabemos es cómo ahora puede ver ni quién le abrió los ojos. Pregúntenselo a él, que ya es mayor de edad y puede responder por sí mismo.
22 Sus padres contestaron así por miedo a los judíos, pues ya estos habían convenido que se expulsara de la sinagoga a todo el que reconociera que Jesús era el Cristo. 23 Por eso dijeron sus padres: «Pregúntenselo a él, que ya es mayor de edad».
24 Por segunda vez llamaron los judíos al que había sido ciego y le dijeron:
—¡Da gloria a Dios! A nosotros nos consta que ese hombre es pecador.
25 —Si es pecador, no lo sé —respondió el hombre—. Lo único que sé es que yo era ciego y ahora veo.
26 Pero ellos le insistieron:
—¿Qué te hizo? ¿Cómo te abrió los ojos?
27 Él respondió:
—Ya les dije y no me hicieron caso. ¿Por qué quieren oírlo de nuevo? ¿Es que también ustedes quieren hacerse sus discípulos?
28 Entonces lo insultaron y dijeron:
—¡Discípulo de ese lo serás tú! ¡Nosotros somos discípulos de Moisés! 29 Y sabemos que a Moisés le habló Dios; pero de este no sabemos ni de dónde salió.
30 —¡Allí está lo sorprendente! —respondió el hombre—: que ustedes no sepan de dónde salió y que a mí me haya abierto los ojos. 31 Sabemos que Dios no escucha a los pecadores, pero sí a los piadosos y a quienes hacen su voluntad. 32 Jamás se ha sabido que alguien le haya abierto los ojos a uno que nació ciego. 33 Si este hombre no viniera de parte de Dios, no podría hacer nada.
34 Ellos replicaron:
—Tú, que naciste sumido en pecado, ¿vas a darnos lecciones?
Y lo expulsaron.
La ceguera espiritual
35 Jesús se enteró de que habían expulsado a aquel hombre y al encontrarlo le preguntó:
—¿Crees en el Hijo del hombre?[a]
36 Él respondió:
—¿Quién es, Señor? Dímelo, para que crea en él.
37 —Pues ya lo has visto —contestó Jesús—; es el que está hablando contigo.
38 —Creo, Señor —declaró el hombre.
Y postrado lo adoró.
39 Entonces Jesús dijo:
—Yo he venido a este mundo para hacer justicia, para que los ciegos vean y los que ven se queden ciegos.
40 Algunos fariseos que estaban con él, al oírlo hablar así, le preguntaron:
—¿Qué? ¿Acaso también nosotros somos ciegos?
41 Jesús les contestó:
—Si fueran ciegos, no serían culpables de pecado, pero como afirman que ven, su pecado permanece.
