Pinagaling ni Jesus ang Isang Bulag
9 Sa paglalakad ni Jesus, nakita niya ang isang lalaking bulag mula pa nang ipanganak. 2 Tinanong siya ng kanyang mga alagad, “Rabi, sino po ang nagkasala at ipinanganak na bulag ang lalaking ito, siya ba o ang kanyang mga magulang?”
3 Sumagot si Jesus, “Ipinanganak siyang bulag, hindi dahil sa nagkasala siya, o ang kanyang mga magulang, kundi upang mahayag ang kapangyarihan ng Diyos sa pamamagitan niya. 4 Kailangang gawin natin[a] ang mga ipinapagawa ng nagsugo sa akin[b] habang may araw pa; darating ang gabi, kung kailan wala nang makakapagtrabaho. 5 Habang(A) ako'y nasa sanlibutan, ako ang ilaw ng sanlibutan.”
6 Pagkasabi nito, dumura si Jesus sa lupa at gumawa ng putik. Pagkatapos, ipinahid niya ito sa mata ng bulag. 7 Sinabi ni Jesus sa bulag, “Pumunta ka sa imbakan ng tubig sa Siloe at maghilamos ka roon.” (Ang kahulugan ng salitang Siloe ay Sinugo.) Pumunta nga ang bulag, naghilamos doon, at pagbalik niya ay nakakakita na.
8 Sinabi ng mga kapitbahay niya at ng mga nakakita sa kanya noong siya'y namamalimos pa, “Hindi ba iyan ang lalaking dating nakaupo at namamalimos?”
9 Sumagot ang ilan, “Iyan nga!” Sabi naman ng iba, “Hindi! Kamukha lang.” Kaya't nagsalita ang dating bulag, “Ako nga po iyon.”
10 “Paano kang nakakita?” tanong nila.
11 Sumagot siya, “Ang lalaking tinatawag na Jesus ay gumawa ng putik at ipinahid iyon sa aking mata. Pagkatapos, sinabi niya sa akin, ‘Pumunta ka sa Siloe at maghilamos.’ Pumunta nga ako doon at naghilamos, at nakakita na ako!”
12 “Nasaan siya?” tanong nila sa kanya. “Hindi ko alam,” sagot niya.
Nagsiyasat ang mga Pariseo tungkol sa Pagpapagaling
13 Dinala ng mga tao sa mga Pariseo ang dating bulag. 14 Araw ng Pamamahinga nang gumawa si Jesus ng putik at nang pinagaling niya ang bulag. 15 Tinanong din siya ng mga Pariseo kung paano siya nakakita. Kaya't sinabi niya sa kanila, “Pinahiran niya ng putik ang aking mga mata, ako'y naghilamos at ngayo'y nakakakita na ako.”
16 Ang sabi ng ilang Pariseo, “Hindi maaaring mula sa Diyos ang taong iyon, sapagkat hindi niya ipinapangilin ang Araw ng Pamamahinga.” Ngunit sinabi naman ng iba, “Paanong makakagawa ng ganitong mga himala ang isang makasalanan?” At hindi sila magkaisa.
17 Kaya't tinanong nilang muli ang dating bulag, “At ikaw, ano naman ang masasabi mo tungkol sa kanya, dahil pinagaling niya ang iyong mga mata?”
“Isa siyang propeta!” sagot niya.
18 Ayaw maniwala ng mga Judio na siya'y talagang dating bulag na ngayo'y nakakakita na kaya't ipinatawag nila ang kanyang mga magulang. 19 “Anak nga ba ninyo ito? Talaga bang siya'y ipinanganak na bulag? Ano'ng nangyari at nakakakita na siya ngayon?” tanong nila.
20 Sumagot ang kanyang mga magulang, “Alam naming anak namin siya at alam din naming siya'y ipinanganak na bulag. 21 Ngunit hindi po namin alam kung ano ang nangyari at nakakakita na siya ngayon, o kung sino ang nagpagaling sa kanya. Siya na po ang tanungin ninyo. Nasa hustong gulang na siya. Makakapagsalita na siya para sa kanyang sarili.”
22 Ganito ang sinabi ng kanyang mga magulang dahil sa kanilang takot sa mga pinuno ng mga Judio. Sapagkat pinagkaisahan na ng mga Judio na ang sinumang magpahayag na si Jesus ang Cristo ay ititiwalag sa sinagoga. 23 Ito ang dahilan kung bakit sinabi ng kanyang mga magulang, “Siya'y nasa hustong gulang na, siya ang tanungin ninyo.”
24 Muli nilang ipinatawag ang dating bulag at sinabi sa kanya, “Sa ngalan ng Diyos, magsabi ka ng totoo. Alam naming ang taong iyon ay makasalanan.”
25 Sumagot siya, “Hindi ko po alam kung siya'y makasalanan, o hindi. Isang bagay po ang alam ko; ako'y dating bulag, subalit ngayo'y nakakakita na.”
26 “Ano ang ginawa niya sa iyo? Paano niya pinagaling ang iyong mga mata?” tanong nila.
27 Sumagot siya, “Sinabi ko na po sa inyo, at ayaw naman ninyo akong paniwalaan. Bakit gusto ninyong marinig muli? Nais ba ninyong maging alagad din niya?”
28 At siya'y kanilang nilait, “Ikaw ang alagad niya! Kami'y mga alagad ni Moises. 29 Nalalaman naming nagsalita ang Diyos kay Moises ngunit ang taong iyon, ni hindi namin alam kung saan siya nanggaling!”
30 Sumagot ang lalaki, “Iyan nga po ang nakapagtataka! Hindi ninyo alam kung saan siya nanggaling, gayunma'y pinagaling niya ang aking mga mata. 31 Alam nating hindi pinapakinggan ng Diyos ang mga makasalanan, ngunit pinapakinggan niya ang mga sumasamba sa kanya at sumusunod sa kanyang kalooban. 32 Mula pa nang likhain ang mundo ay wala pa tayong nabalitaang nakapagpagaling ng mata ng taong ipinanganak na bulag. 33 Wala pong magagawa ang taong iyon kung siya'y hindi mula sa Diyos!”
34 Sumagot sila, “Ipinanganak kang lubos na makasalanan at ngayo'y nais mo pa kaming turuan!” At siya'y kanilang itiniwalag.
Mga Bulag sa Espiritu
35 Nabalitaan ni Jesus na ang lalaking pinagaling niya ay itiniwalag ng mga Pariseo. Kaya't nang matagpuan niya ito ay kanyang tinanong, “Sumasampalataya ka ba sa Anak ng Tao?”
36 Sumagot ang lalaki, “Sino po ba siya, Ginoo? Sabihin ninyo sa akin upang ako'y sumampalataya sa kanya.”
37 “Siya'y nakita mo na. Siya ang kausap mo ngayon,” wika ni Jesus.
38 “Sumasampalataya po ako, Panginoon!” sabi ng lalaki. At sinamba niya si Jesus.
39 Sinabi ni Jesus, “Naparito ako sa mundong ito upang humatol, at nang sa gayo'y makakita ang mga bulag at mabulag naman ang mga nakakakita.”
40 Narinig ito ng ilang Pariseong naroon at siya'y kanilang tinanong, “Ibig mo bang sabihi'y mga bulag din kami?”
41 Sumagot si Jesus, “Kung kayo nga'y bulag, hindi sana kayo hahatulang maysala. Ngunit dahil sinasabi ninyong nakakakita kayo, nananatili kayong maysala.”

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.

John 9

A Man Born Blind Is Given Sight
9 And as he[a] went away, he saw a man blind from birth. 2 And his disciples asked him, saying, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he should be born blind?” 3 Jesus replied, “Neither this man sinned nor his parents, but it happened[b] so that the works of God could be revealed in him. 4 It is necessary for us to do the deeds of the one who sent me while it is day; night is coming, when no one can work! 5 While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” 6 When he[c] had said these things, he spat on the ground and made clay with the saliva, and smeared the clay on his eyes. 7 And he said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which is translated “sent”). So he went and washed and came back seeing.
8 Then the neighbors and those who saw him previously (because he was a beggar) began to say,[d] “Is this man not the one who used to sit and beg?” 9 Others were saying, “It is this man”; others were saying, “No, but he is like him.” That one was saying, “I am he!” 10 So they began to say[e] to him, “How[f] were your eyes opened?” 11 He replied, “The man who is called Jesus made clay and smeared it[g] on my eyes and said to me, ‘Go to Siloam and wash!’ So I went, and I washed, and[h] I received sight.” 12 And they said to him, “Where is that man?” He said, “I do not know.”
The Reaction of the Pharisees to the Healing
13 They brought him—the one formerly blind—to the Pharisees. 14 (Now the day on which Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes was the Sabbath.) 15 So the Pharisees also were asking him again how he received sight. And he said to them, “He put clay on my eyes, and I washed, and I see.” 16 So some of the Pharisees were saying, “This man is not from God, because he does not observe the Sabbath!” Others[i] were saying, “How can a man who is a sinner perform such signs?” And there was a division among them. 17 So they said to the blind man again, “What do you say about him, because he opened your eyes?” And he said, “He is a prophet.”
18 So the Jews did not believe concerning him that he had been blind and received sight, until they summoned the parents of the one[j] who received sight. 19 And they asked them, saying, “Is this man your son, whom you say was born blind? Then how does he now see?” 20 So his parents answered and said, “We know that this man 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 a mature adult;[k] he will speak for himself!” 22 (His parents said these things because they were afraid of the Jews, for the Jews had already decided that if anyone should confess him to be Christ, he would be expelled from the synagogue. 23 Because of this his parents said, “He is a mature adult;[l] ask him.”)
24 So they summoned the man who had been blind for the second time and said to him, “Give glory to God! We know that this man is a sinner!” 25 Then that man replied, “Whether he is a sinner I do not know. One thing I know—that although I[m] 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 replied to them, “I told you already and you did not listen! Why do you want to hear it[n] again? You do not want to become his disciples also, do you?”[o] 28 They reviled[p] him and said, “You are his disciple! But we are disciples of Moses! 29 We know that God has spoken to Moses, but we do not know where this man is from.” 30 The man answered and said to them, “For the remarkable thing is this, that you do not know where he is from, and he opened my eyes! 31 We know that God does not listen to sinners, but if someone is devout and does his will, he listens to this one. 32 From time immemorial[q] it has not been heard that someone opened the eyes of one born blind. 33 If this man were not from God, he would not be able to do anything!” 34 They answered and said to him, “You were born completely in sin, and are you attempting to teach[r] us?” And they threw him out.
Jesus as the Son of Man
35 Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and finding him, he said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?” 36 He answered and said, “And who is he, sir, that I may believe in him?” 37 Jesus said to him, “You have both seen him, and he is the one who is speaking with you.” [[38 And he said, “I believe, Lord!” and he worshiped him. 39 And Jesus said,]][s] “For judgment I have come into this world, so that those who do not see may see, and those who see may become blind!” 40 Some of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things and said to him, “We are not also blind, are we?”[t] 41 Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you would not have sin. But now you say, ‘We see,’ your sin remains.
