John 9
Complete Jewish Bible
9 As Yeshua passed along, he saw a man blind from birth. 2 His talmidim asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned — this man or his parents — to cause him to be born blind?” 3 Yeshua answered, “His blindness is due neither to his sin nor to that of his parents; it happened so that God’s power might be seen at work in him. 4 As long as it is day, we must keep doing the work of the One who sent me; the night is coming, when no one can work. 5 While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”
6 Having said this, he spit on the ground, made some mud with the saliva, put the mud on the man’s eyes, 7 and said to him, “Go, wash off in the Pool of Shiloach!” (The name means “sent.”) So he went and washed and came away seeing.
8 His neighbors and those who previously had seen him begging said, “Isn’t this the man who used to sit and beg?” 9 Some said, “Yes, he’s the one”; while others said, “No, but he looks like him.” However, he himself said, “I’m the one.” 10 “How were your eyes opened?” they asked him. 11 He answered, “The man called Yeshua made mud, put it on my eyes, and told me, ‘Go to Shiloach and wash!’ So I went; and as soon as I had washed, I could see.” 12 They said to him, “Where is he?” and he replied, “I don’t know.”
13 They took the man who had been blind to the P’rushim. 14 Now the day on which Yeshua had made the mud and opened his eyes was Shabbat. 15 So the P’rushim asked him again how he had become able to see; and he told them, “He put mud on my eyes, then I washed, and now I can see.” 16 At this, some of the P’rushim said, “This man is not from God, because he doesn’t keep Shabbat.” But others said, “How could a man who is a sinner do miracles like these?” And there was a split among them. 17 So once more they spoke to the blind man: “Since you’re the one whose eyes he opened, what do you say about him?” He replied: “He is a prophet.”
18 The Judeans, however, were unwilling to believe that he had formerly been blind, but now could see, until they had summoned the man’s parents. 19 They asked them, “Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How is it that now he can see?” 20 His parents answered, “We know that this is our son and that he was born blind; 21 but how it is that he can see now, we don’t know; nor do we know who opened his eyes. Ask him — he’s old enough, he can speak for himself!” 22 The parents said this because they were afraid of the Judeans, for the Judeans had already agreed that anyone who acknowledged Yeshua as the Messiah would be banned from the synagogue. 23 This is why his parents said, “He’s old enough, ask him.”
24 So a second time they called the man who had been blind; and they said to him, “Swear to God that you will tell the truth! We know that this man is a sinner.” 25 He answered, “Whether he’s a sinner or not I don’t know. One thing I do know: 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 “I already told you,” he answered, “and you didn’t listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Maybe you too want to become his talmidim?” 28 Then they railed at him. “You may be his talmid,” they said, “but we are talmidim of Moshe! 29 We know that God has spoken to Moshe, but as for this fellow — we don’t know where he’s from!” 30 “What a strange thing,” the man answered, “that you don’t know where he’s from — considering that he opened my eyes! 31 We know that God doesn’t listen to sinners; but if anyone fears God and does his will, God does listen to him. 32 In all history no one has ever heard of someone’s opening the eyes of a man born blind. 33 If this man were not from God, he couldn’t do a thing!” 34 “Why, you mamzer!” they retorted, “Are you lecturing us?” And they threw him out.
35 Yeshua heard that they had thrown the man out. He found him and said, “Do you trust in the Son of Man?” 36 “Sir,” he answered, “tell me who he is, so that I can trust in him.” 37 Yeshua said to him, “You have seen him. In fact, he’s the one speaking with you now.” 38 “Lord, I trust!” he said, and he kneeled down in front of him.
39 Yeshua said, “It is to judge that I came into this world, so that those who do not see might see, and those who do see might become blind.” 40 Some of the P’rushim nearby heard this and said to him, “So we’re blind too, are we?” 41 Yeshua answered them, “If you were blind, you would not be guilty of sin. But since you still say, ‘We see,’ your guilt remains.
Juan 9
Ang Bagong Tipan: Filipino Standard Version
9 Habang naglalakad si Jesus, nakita niya ang isang lalaking bulag mula pa sa pagkasilang. 2 Tinanong siya ng mga alagad niya, “Rabbi, sino ba ang nagkasala't ang lalaking ito ay ipinanganak na bulag, siya o ang kanyang mga magulang?” 3 Sumagot si Jesus, “Hindi ang lalaking ito, ni ang mga magulang niya ang nagkasala; ipinanganak siyang bulag upang sa pamamagitan niya, ang mga gawa ng Diyos ay maihayag. 4 Kailangan nating gawin ang mga gawa niya na nagsugo sa akin habang maliwanag pa; dumarating ang gabi at wala nang makagagawa nito. 5 (A)Habang ako ay nasa sanlibutan, ako ang ilaw ng sanlibutan.” 6 Matapos niyang sabihin ito, dumura siya sa lupa at gumawa ng putik sa pamamagitan ng laway. Ipinahid niya iyon sa mata ng lalaki, 7 at sinabihan ito, “Humayo ka at maghilamos sa imbakan ng tubig ng Siloam” (na ang ibig sabihin ay isinugo). Kaya nagpunta siya at naghilamos—at bumalik siyang nakakakita na. 8 Ang mga kapitbahay at ang mga nakakita sa kanya noon na siya’y pulubi pa ay nagsimulang magtanong, “Hindi ba siya ang lalaking dating namamalimos?” 9 May ilang nagsasabing, “Siya nga iyon.” Ang iba naman ay nagsasabing, “Hindi, kamukha lang siya.” Ngunit paulit-ulit niyang sinasabing, “Ako ang taong iyon.” 10 Kung kaya paulit-ulit nila siyang tinatanong, “Kung gayon, ano'ng nangyari at nakakakita ka na?” 11 Sumagot siya, “Ang lalaking tinatawag na Jesus ay gumawa ng putik, ipinahid niya iyon sa aking mga mata, at sinabihan akong pumunta sa Siloam at maghilamos. Kung kaya't nagpunta ako roon at naghilamos, at ako'y nakakita na.” 12 Sinabi nila sa kanya, “Nasaan siya?” Sinabi niya, “Hindi ko alam.”
13 Dinala nila sa mga Fariseo ang lalaking dating bulag. 14 Araw ng Sabbath noon nang gumawa ng putik si Jesus at pagalingin ang kanyang mga mata, 15 kaya nagsimula ring magtanong ang mga Fariseo sa lalaki kung paano siya muling nakakita. Sinabi niya sa kanila, “Pinahiran niya ng putik ang aking mga mata. Pagkatapos ay naghilamos ako, at ngayo’y nakakakita na ako.” 16 Ilan sa mga Fariseo ay nagsabing, “Ang taong ito ay hindi mula sa Diyos, dahil hindi niya sinusunod ang batas ng Sabbath.” Subalit ang iba naman ay nagsabi rin, “Paanong makagagawa ng mga himalang tulad nito ang isang makasalanang tao?” At sila ay nagkahati-hati. 17 Kaya sinabi uli nila sa bulag, “Ano'ng masasabi mo tungkol sa kanya na nagbigay sa iyo ng paningin?” Sinabi niya, “Siya ay propeta.”
18 Hindi makapaniwala ang mga Judio na siyang dating bulag ay nakakakita na. Kaya tinawag nila ang kanyang mga magulang 19 at tinanong nila ang mga ito, “Ito ba ang inyong anak na sinasabi ninyong ipinanganak na bulag? Paanong nangyari na nakakakita na siya ngayon?” 20 Sumagot ang kanyang mga magulang, “Alam naming siya ang aming anak, at siya ay ipinanganak na bulag. 21 Pero, hindi namin alam kung bakit nakakakita na siya ngayon, at kung sino ang nagpagaling sa kanya. Tanungin ninyo siya. Nasa tamang gulang na siya para magpaliwanag tungkol sa kanyang sarili.” 22 Sinabi ito ng mga magulang niya dahil takot sila sa mga Judio; nagkasundo na kasi ang mga Judio na ang sinumang magsabi na si Jesus ang Cristo ay palalayasin sa sinagoga. 23 Kaya sinabi ng mga magulang niya, “May sapat na gulang na siya; tanungin ninyo siya.” 24 Sa pangalawang pagkakataon, tinawag nilang muli ang lalaking dating bulag, at sinabi sa kanya, “Magbigay-luwalhati ka sa Diyos! Alam naming makasalanan ang taong iyon.” 25 Sumagot siya, “Hindi ko alam kung siya nga ay makasalanan. Isang bagay ang nalalaman ko, na ako ay dating bulag, at ngayon ay nakakakita na.” 26 Sinabi nila sa kanya, “Ano ang ginawa niya sa iyo? Paano niya pinagaling ang iyong mga mata?” 27 Sumagot siya sa kanila, “Sinabi ko na sa inyo, ngunit ayaw ninyong makinig. Bakit gusto ninyong marinig ito ulit? Gusto rin ba ninyong maging mga alagad niya?” 28 Kaya't pinagsabihan nila siya nang masakit, “Ikaw ay alagad niya, ngunit kami ay mga alagad ni Moises. 29 Alam naming nangusap ang Diyos kay Moises, ngunit ang taong iyon, hindi namin alam kung saan siya galing.” 30 Sumagot ang lalaki, “Nakapagtataka naman ito! Hindi ninyo alam kung saan siya galing, pero siya ang nagpagaling ng mga mata ko. 31 Alam nating ang Diyos ay hindi nakikinig sa mga makasalanan, at siya ay nakikinig sa sumasamba sa kanya at gumagawa ng kalooban niya. 32 Simula pa noon, wala pang nabalitaang sinuman na nagpagaling ng mga mata ng isang ipinanganak na bulag. 33 Kung ang taong ito ay hindi galing sa Diyos, wala siyang magagawa.” 34 Sumagot sila sa kanya, “Ipinanganak kang makasalanan at tinuturuan mo kami?” At pinalayas nila ang lalaki.
35 Narinig ni Jesus na itinaboy nila ang lalaki, at nang matagpuan niya ito'y sinabi niya, “Naniniwala ka ba sa Anak ng Tao?” 36 Sumagot ang lalaki, “Sino siya, ginoo? Sabihin mo sa akin upang maniwala ako sa kanya.” 37 Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanya, “Nakita mo na siya, siya ngayon ang nagsasalita sa iyo.” 38 Sinabi niya, “Panginoon, naniniwala ako.” At sinamba niya si Jesus. 39 Sinabi ni Jesus, “Nagpunta ako rito sa sanlibutan upang humatol; at upang ang mga hindi nakakakita ay makakita, at ang mga nakakakita ay maging bulag.” 40 Narinig ito ng ilan sa mga Fariseong naroon kaya sinabi sa kanya, “Bulag din ba kami?” 41 Sinabi sa kanila ni Jesus, “Kung kayo ay bulag, hindi sana kayo nagkasala. Ngunit ngayong sinasabi ninyong nakakakita kayo, ang kasalanan ay nananatili sa inyo.
John 9
New International Version
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)
