Jesús da la vista a un hombre que nació ciego
9 Al salir, Jesús vio a su paso a un hombre que había nacido ciego. 2 Sus discípulos le preguntaron:
—Maestro, ¿por qué nació ciego este hombre? ¿Por el pecado de sus padres, o por su propio pecado?
3 Jesús les contestó:
—Ni por su propio pecado ni por el de sus padres; fue más bien para que en él se demuestre lo que Dios puede hacer. 4 Mientras es de día, tenemos que hacer el trabajo del que me envió; pues viene la noche, cuando nadie puede trabajar. 5 Mientras estoy en este mundo, soy la luz del mundo.
6 Después de haber dicho esto, Jesús escupió en el suelo, hizo con la saliva un poco de lodo y se lo untó al ciego en los ojos. 7 Luego le dijo:
—Ve a lavarte al estanque de Siloé (que significa: «Enviado»).
El ciego fue y se lavó, y cuando regresó ya podía ver. 8 Los vecinos y los que antes lo habían visto pedir limosna se preguntaban:
—¿No es éste el que se sentaba a pedir limosna?
9 Unos decían:
—Sí, es él.
Otros decían:
—No, no es él, aunque se le parece.
Pero él mismo decía:
—Sí, yo soy.
10 Entonces le preguntaron:
—¿Y cómo es que ahora puedes ver?
11 Él les contestó:
—Ese hombre que se llama Jesús hizo lodo, me lo untó en los ojos, y me dijo: “Ve al estanque de Siloé, y lávate.” Yo fui, y en cuanto me lavé, pude ver.
12 Entonces le preguntaron:
—¿Dónde está ese hombre?
Y él les dijo:
—No lo sé.
Los fariseos interrogan al ciego que fue sanado
13-14 El día en que Jesús hizo el lodo y devolvió la vista al ciego era sábado. Por eso llevaron ante los fariseos al que había sido ciego, 15 y ellos le preguntaron cómo era que ya podía ver. Y él les contestó:
—Me puso lodo en los ojos, me lavé, y ahora veo.
16 Algunos fariseos dijeron:
—El que hizo esto no puede ser de Dios, porque no respeta el sábado.
Pero otros decían:
—¿Cómo puede hacer estas señales milagrosas, si es pecador?
De manera que hubo división entre ellos, 17 y volvieron a preguntarle al que antes era ciego:
—Puesto que te ha dado la vista, ¿qué dices de él?
Él contestó:
—Yo digo que es un profeta.
18 Pero los judíos no quisieron creer que había sido ciego y que ahora podía ver, hasta que llamaron a sus padres 19 y les preguntaron:
—¿Es éste su hijo? ¿Declaran ustedes que nació ciego? ¿Cómo es que ahora puede ver?
20 Sus padres contestaron:
—Sabemos que éste es nuestro hijo, y que nació ciego; 21 pero no sabemos cómo es que ahora puede ver, ni tampoco sabemos quién le dio la vista. Pregúntenselo a él; ya es mayor de edad, y él mismo puede darles razón.
22 Sus padres dijeron esto por miedo, pues los judíos se habían puesto de acuerdo para expulsar de la sinagoga a cualquiera que reconociera que Jesús era el Mesías. 23 Por eso dijeron sus padres: «Pregúntenselo a él, que ya es mayor de edad.»
24 Los judíos volvieron a llamar al que había sido ciego, y le dijeron:
—Dinos la verdad delante de Dios. Nosotros sabemos que ese hombre es pecador.
25 Él les contestó:
—Si es pecador, no lo sé. Lo que sí sé es que yo era ciego y ahora veo.
26 Volvieron a preguntarle:
—¿Qué te hizo? ¿Qué hizo para darte la vista?
27 Les contestó:
—Ya se lo he dicho, pero no me hacen caso. ¿Por qué quieren que se lo repita? ¿Es que también ustedes quieren seguirlo?
28 Entonces lo insultaron, y le dijeron:
—Tú serás discípulo de ese hombre; nosotros somos discípulos de Moisés. 29 Y sabemos que Dios le habló a Moisés, pero de ése no sabemos ni siquiera de dónde ha salido.
30 El hombre les contestó:
—¡Qué cosa tan rara! Ustedes no saben de dónde ha salido, y en cambio a mí me ha dado la vista. 31 Bien sabemos que Dios no escucha a los pecadores; solamente escucha a los que lo adoran y hacen su voluntad. 32 Nunca se ha oído decir de nadie que diera la vista a una persona que nació ciega. 33 Si este hombre no viniera de Dios, no podría hacer nada.
34 Le dijeron entonces:
—Tú, que naciste lleno de pecado, ¿quieres darnos lecciones a nosotros?
Y lo expulsaron de la sinagoga.
Ciegos espirituales
35 Jesús oyó decir que habían expulsado al ciego; y cuando se encontró con él, le preguntó:
—¿Crees tú en el Hijo del hombre?
36 Él le dijo:
—Señor, dime quién es, para que yo crea en él.
37 Jesús le contestó:
—Ya lo has visto: soy yo, con quien estás hablando.
38 Entonces el hombre se puso de rodillas delante de Jesús, y le dijo:
—Creo, Señor.
39 Luego dijo Jesús:
—Yo he venido a este mundo para hacer juicio, para que los ciegos vean y para que los que ven se vuelvan ciegos.
40 Algunos fariseos que estaban con él, al oír esto, le preguntaron:
—¿Acaso nosotros también somos ciegos?
41 Jesús les contestó:
—Si ustedes fueran ciegos, no tendrían culpa de sus pecados. Pero como dicen que ven, son culpables.

Jesús sana a un ciego de nacimiento
9 Al pasar Jesús vio a un hombre ciego de nacimiento. 2 Y le preguntaron sus discípulos, diciendo:
—Rabí, ¿quién pecó, este o sus padres, para que haya nacido ciego?
3 Respondió Jesús:
—No es que pecó éste, ni sus padres, sino para que las obras de Dios se manifiesten en él. 4 Me es necesario hacer las obras del que me envió, mientras dura el día; la noche viene, cuando nadie puede trabajar. 5 Mientras estoy en el mundo, luz soy del mundo.
6 Dicho esto, escupió en tierra, hizo lodo con la saliva y untó con el lodo los ojos del ciego, 7 y le dijo:
—Ve a lavarte en el estanque de Siloé —que significa «Enviado»—.
Entonces fue, se lavó y regresó viendo. 8 Por eso, los vecinos y los que antes lo habían visto que era ciego, decían:
—¿No es éste el que se sentaba y mendigaba?
9 Unos decían: «Él es.» Otros: «A él se parece.» Él decía: «Yo soy.»
10 Entonces le preguntaron:
—¿Cómo te fueron abiertos los ojos?
11 Respondió él y dijo:
—Aquel hombre que se llama Jesús hizo lodo, me untó los ojos y me dijo: “Ve al Siloé y lávate.” Fui, pues, me lavé y recibí la vista.
12 Entonces le dijeron:
—¿Dónde está él?
Él dijo:
—No sé.
Los fariseos interrogan al ciego sanado
13 Llevaron ante los fariseos al que había sido ciego. 14 Y era sábado cuando Jesús había hecho el lodo y le había abierto los ojos. 15 Volvieron, pues, a preguntarle también los fariseos cómo había recibido la vista. Él les dijo:
—Me puso lodo sobre los ojos, me lavé y veo.
16 Entonces algunos de los fariseos decían:
—Ese hombre no procede de Dios, porque no guarda el sábado.
Otros decían:
—¿Cómo puede un hombre pecador hacer estas señales?
Y había división entre ellos. 17 Entonces le preguntaron otra vez al ciego:
—¿Qué dices tú del que te abrió los ojos?
Él contestó:
—Que es profeta.
18 Pero los judíos no creyeron que él había sido ciego y que había recibido la vista, hasta que llamaron a los padres del que había recibido la vista, 19 y les preguntaron, diciendo:
—¿Es éste vuestro hijo, el que vosotros decís que nació ciego? ¿Cómo, pues, ve ahora?
20 Sus padres respondieron y les dijeron:
—Sabemos que éste es nuestro hijo y que nació ciego; 21 pero cómo ve ahora, no lo sabemos, o quién le haya abierto los ojos, nosotros tampoco lo sabemos; edad tiene, preguntadle a él; él hablará por sí mismo.
22 Esto dijeron sus padres porque tenían miedo de los judíos, por cuanto los judíos ya habían acordado que si alguno confesaba que Jesús era el Mesías, fuera expulsado de la sinagoga. 23 Por eso dijeron sus padres: “Edad tiene, preguntadle a él.”
24 Llamaron nuevamente al hombre que había sido ciego, y le dijeron:
—¡Da gloria a Dios! Nosotros sabemos que ese hombre es pecador.
25 Entonces él respondió y dijo:
—Si es pecador, no lo sé; una cosa sé, que habiendo yo sido ciego, ahora veo.
26 Le volvieron a decir:
—¿Qué te hizo? ¿Cómo te abrió los ojos?
27 Él les respondió:
—Ya os lo he dicho y no habéis escuchado, ¿por qué lo queréis oír otra vez? ¿Queréis también vosotros haceros sus discípulos?
28 Entonces lo insultaron, y dijeron:
—Tú eres su discípulo, pero nosotros, discípulos de Moisés somos. 29 Nosotros sabemos que Dios ha hablado a Moisés, pero respecto a ése, no sabemos de dónde ha salido.
30 Respondió el hombre y les dijo:
—Pues esto es lo maravilloso, que vosotros no sepáis de dónde ha salido, y a mí me abrió los ojos. 31 Y sabemos que Dios no oye a los pecadores; pero si alguno es temeroso de Dios y hace su voluntad, a ése oye. 32 Nunca se ha oído decir que alguien abriera los ojos a uno que nació ciego. 33 Si éste no viniera de Dios, nada podría hacer.
34 Respondieron y le dijeron:
—Tú naciste del todo en pecado, ¿y nos enseñas a nosotros?
Y lo expulsaron.
Ceguera espiritual
35 Oyó Jesús que lo habían expulsado y, hallándolo, le dijo:
—¿Crees tú en el Hijo de Dios?
36 Respondió él y dijo:
—¿Quién es, Señor, para que crea en él?
37 Le dijo Jesús:
—Pues lo has visto; el que habla contigo, ése es.
38 Y él dijo:
—Creo, Señor —y lo adoró.
39 Dijo Jesús:
—Para juicio he venido yo a este mundo, para que los que no ven, vean, y los que ven, sean cegados.
40 Entonces algunos de los fariseos que estaban con él, al oír esto, le dijeron:
—¿Acaso también nosotros somos ciegos?
41 Jesús les respondió:
—Si fuerais ciegos no tendríais pecado, pero ahora, porque decís: “Vemos”, vuestro pecado permanece.

A Man Born Blind Receives Sight
9 As he walked along, he saw a man blind from birth. 2 His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” 3 Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned; he was born blind so that God’s works might be revealed in him.(A) 4 We[a] must work the works of him who sent me[b] while it is day; night is coming, when no one can work.(B) 5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”(C) 6 When he had said this, he spat on the ground and made mud with the saliva and spread the mud on the man’s eyes,(D) 7 saying to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which means Sent). Then he went and washed and came back able to see.(E) 8 The neighbors and those who had seen him before as a beggar began to ask, “Is this not the man who used to sit and beg?” 9 Some were saying, “It is he.” Others were saying, “No, but it is someone like him.” He kept saying, “I am he.” 10 But they kept asking him, “Then how were your eyes opened?” 11 He answered, “The man called Jesus made mud, spread it on my eyes, and said to me, ‘Go to Siloam and wash.’ Then I went and washed and received my sight.” 12 They said to him, “Where is he?” He said, “I do not know.”
The Pharisees Investigate the Healing
13 They brought to the Pharisees the man who had formerly been blind. 14 Now it was a Sabbath day when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes.(F) 15 Then the Pharisees also began to ask him how he had received his sight. He said to them, “He put mud on my eyes. Then I washed, and now I see.” 16 Some of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, for he does not observe the Sabbath.” Others said, “How can a man who is a sinner perform such signs?” And they were divided.(G) 17 So they said again to the blind man, “What do you say about him? It was your eyes he opened.” He said, “He is a prophet.”(H)
18 The Jews 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 we do not know how it is that now he sees, nor do we know who opened his eyes. Ask him; he is of age. He will speak for himself.” 22 His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews, for the Jews had already agreed that anyone who confessed Jesus[c] to be the Messiah[d] would be put out of the synagogue.(I) 23 Therefore his parents said, “He is of age; ask him.”
24 So for the second time they called the man who had been blind, and they said to him, “Give glory to God! We know that this man is a sinner.”(J) 25 He answered, “I do not know whether he is a sinner. One thing I do know, that though I 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, “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 Then they reviled him, saying, “You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.(K) 29 We know that God has spoken to Moses, but as for this man, we do not know where he comes from.”(L) 30 The man answered, “Here is an astonishing thing! You do not know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes. 31 We know that God does not listen to sinners, but he does listen to one who worships him and obeys his will.(M) 32 Never since the world began has it been heard that anyone opened the eyes of a person born blind. 33 If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.” 34 They answered him, “You were born entirely in sins, and are you trying to teach us?” And they drove him out.
Spiritual Blindness
35 Jesus heard that they had driven him out, and when he found him he said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?”[e](N) 36 He answered, “And who is he, sir?[f] Tell me, so that I may believe in him.”(O) 37 Jesus said to him, “You have seen him, and the one speaking with you is he.”(P) 38 He said, “Lord,[g] I believe.” And he worshiped him. 39 Jesus said, “I came into this world for judgment, so that those who do not see may see and those who do see may become blind.”(Q) 40 Some of the Pharisees who were with him heard this and said to him, “Surely we are not blind, are we?”(R) 41 Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you would not have sin. But now that you say, ‘We see,’ your sin remains.(S)

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)

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.
