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

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)

Slijepac od rođenja
9 Šećući uokolo, Isus je primijetio nekog slijepca. Čovjek je bio slijep od rođenja. 2 »Učitelju«, upitali su ga njegovi učenici, »tko je sagriješio da se rodio slijep? On ili njegovi roditelji?«
3 »Ni on ni njegovi roditelji«, odgovorio im je Isus. »Rodio se slijep da bi se na njemu pokazala Božja moćna djela. 4 Dok je dan, moram činiti djela onoga koji me poslao. Kada padne noć, nitko ne može raditi. 5 Dokle god sam na svijetu, njegovo sam svjetlo.«
6 Kad je to izgovorio, pljunuo je na zemlju, napravio od sline blato i njime premazao čovjeku oči. 7 Potom mu je rekao: »Idi do bazena Siloama i umij se!«—Siloam znači »Poslan«. Čovjek je otišao, umio se i vratio gledajući.
8 Njegovi susjedi i oni koji su ga prije često viđali kako prosi pitali su se: »Zar nije ono čovjek koji je stalno sjedio uz cestu i prosio?«
9 Neki su rekli: »Da, to je on!« Drugi pak: »Nije, samo mu je sličan.«
A on sâm je rekao: »Da, ja sam taj!«
10 »Kako se to dogodilo? Kako su ti se otvorile oči?« pitali su ga.
11 Odgovorio je: »Čovjek kojeg zovu Isus napravio je blato, premazao mi njime oči i rekao: ‘Idi do Siloama i umij se!’ Otišao sam, pa kad sam se umio, progledao sam.«
12 Upitali su ga: »Gdje je on?«
13 Ljudi su tada farizejima doveli čovjeka koji je ranije bio slijep. 14 A bio je šabat, dan odmora, kad je Isus načinio blato i otvorio čovjeku oči. 15 Farizeji su ga još jednom počeli ispitivati kako je progledao.
16 Neki od farizeja počeli su govoriti: »Ovaj čovjek nije došao od Boga jer ne poštuje zakon o šabatu.«
»Kako jedan grešnik«, govorili su pak drugi, »može činiti ovakve čudesne znakove?« Tako je među njima došlo do razdora.
17 Ponovo su upitali slijepca: »Što ti misliš o Isusu, sada kada ti je otvorio oči?«
»On je prorok!« odgovorio im je.
18 Židovi mu nisu vjerovali da je bio slijep i da je progledao pa su pozvali njegove roditelje 19 i ispitivali ih: »Je li ovo vaš sin, za kojega kažete da je bio slijep od rođenja? Pa kako onda sada vidi?«
20 Njegovi su roditelji odgovorili: »Znamo da je on naš sin i da se rodio slijep, 21 ali ne znamo kako je progledao niti tko mu je otvorio oči. Pitajte njega! Dovoljno je odrastao da govori sâm za sebe.« 22 Tako su govorili jer su se bojali Židova. Židovi su bili odlučili da svakoga tko prizna da je Isus Mesija izopće iz sinagoge. 23 Zato su njegovi roditelji rekli: »Pitajte njega! Dovoljno je odrastao.«
24 Tada su drugi put pozvali čovjeka, koji je bio slijep, i naredili mu: »Iskaži Bogu čast! Priznaj istinu! Znamo da je čovjek, koji ti je otvorio oči, grešnik.«
25 »Je li grešnik ili nije, ne znam«, odvratio im je. »Znam samo jedno: bio sam slijep, a sada vidim!«
26 »Što ti je učinio?« pitali su ga. »Kako ti je otvorio oči?«
27 Odgovorio im je: »Već sam vam ispričao, ali niste htjeli slušati. Zašto to želite ponovo čuti? Zar i vi želite postati njegovi učenici?«
28 Tada su ga počeli ismijavati i govoriti mu: »Ti si njegov učenik, a mi smo Mojsijevi učenici. 29 Znamo da se Bog obratio Mojsiju, ali ne znamo odakle dolazi ovaj čovjek.«
30 »Zaista je čudno«, odvratio im je, »da vi ne znate odakle on dolazi, a meni je otvorio oči! 31 Poznato je da Bog ne uslišava grešnike, nego onoga tko mu je odan i tko mu se pokorava. 32 Otkad je svijeta, još se nije čulo da je netko otvorio oči slijepcu od rođenja. 33 Da ovaj čovjek nije od Boga, ništa ne bi mogao učiniti.«
34 Odvratili su mu: »Pun si grijeha od rođenja i ti bi nas nečemu učio!« I izbacili su ga iz sinagoge.
Duhovna sljepoća
35 Isus je čuo da su čovjeka izbacili iz sinagoge. Našao ga je i upitao: »Vjeruješ li u Sina Čovječjeg?«
36 »A tko je taj, gospodine?« odvratio je čovjek. »Kaži mi, pa ću povjerovati u njega.«
37 »Gledaš u njega«, rekao mu je Isus. »To je onaj koji sada razgovara s tobom.«
38 »Vjerujem, Gospodine!« rekao je i poklonio se pred Isusom.
39 A Isus je rekao: »Ja sam došao na ovaj svijet da bi se svijetu moglo suditi. Došao sam da progledaju oni koji ne vide, a oslijepe oni koji vide.«
40 Neki farizeji, koji su bili s Isusom, čuli su to i rekli mu: »Zar smo i mi slijepi?«
41 »Kad biste bili slijepi«, odvratio im je Isus, »ne biste imali grijeha, ali sada kažete: ‘Vidimo’. Time vaš grijeh ostaje.«
