| 1 And passing by, he saw a man blind from birth. |
|
| 2 And asked him the disciples of him, saying: Rabbi, who sinned? this, or the parents of him, that blind he should be born? |
|
| 3 Answered Jesus: Neither this sinned, nor the parents of him; but that may be manifested the works of the God in him.
|
|
| 4 Me it behooves to work the works of the sending me, while day it is; comes night, when no one is able to work.
|
|
| 5 While in the world I may be, light I am of the world.
|
|
| 6 These things saying, he spit on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and rubbed the clay on the eyes of the blind, |
|
| 7 and said to him: Go, wash thyself in the pool of the Siloam;
(which is interpreted, having been sent.) He went away therefore, and washed himself, and came seeing. |
|
| 8 The then neighbors, and those seeing him the before, because a beggar he was, said: Not this is he sitting and begging? |
|
| 9 Others said: That this is. Others but: That like him it is. He said: That I am. |
|
| 10 They said then to him: How were opened of thee the eyes? |
|
| 11 Answered he and said: A man, being named Jesus, clay made, and rubbed of me the eyes, and said to me: Go into the Siloam, and wash thyself. Going and and washing myself, I obtained sight. |
|
| 12 They said then to him: Where is he? He says: Not I know. |
|
| |
|
| 13 They bring him to the Pharisees, that once blind. |
|
| 14 It was and a sabbath, when the clay made the Jesus, and opened of him the eyes. |
|
| 15 Again therefore asked him also the Pharisees, how he obtained sight. He and said to them: Clay he put of me on the eyes, and I washed myself, and see. |
|
| 16 Said therefore of the Pharisees some: This the man not is from the God, because the sabbath not he keeps. Others said: How is able a man a sinner such signs to do? And a division was among them. |
|
| 17 They say to the blind again: Thou what sayest concerning him, seeing that he opened of thee the eyes? He and said: That a prophet he is. |
|
| 18 Not believed therefore the Jews concerning him, that blind he was, and obtained sight, till when they called the parents of him the having obtained sight. |
|
| 19 And they asked them, saying: This is the son of you, whom you say, that blind he was born? how then now he sees? |
|
| 20 Answered them the parents of him and said: We know, that this is the son of us, and that blind he was born; |
|
| 21 how but now he sees, not we know; or who opened of him the eyes, we not know, he full age has, him ask you; he concerning himself shall speak. |
|
| 22 These things said the parents of him, because they feared the Jews. Already for had agreed the Jews, that if any one him should confess Anointed, from a synagogue should be. |
|
| 23 Through this the parents of him said: That full age he has, him ask you. |
|
| 24 They called therefore a second time the man, who was blind, and said to him: Give glory to the God; we know, that the man this a sinner is. |
|
| 25 Answered then he and said: If a sinner he is, not I know; one I know, that blind being, now I see. |
|
| 26 They said and to him again: What did he to thee? how opened of thee the eyes? |
|
| 27 He answered them: I said to you already, and not you did hear; why again do you wish to hear? not also you wish of him disciples to be? |
|
| 28 They reviled him, and said: Thou art a disciple of him; we but of the Moses are disciples. |
|
| 29 We know, that to Moses has spoken the God; this but not we know whence is. |
|
| 30 Answered the man and said to them: In for this a wonder is, that you not know whence he is, and he has opened of me the eyes. |
|
| 31 We know but, that sinners the God not hears; but if any one a worshipper of God may be, and the will him may do, this he hears. |
|
| 32 From the age not it was heard, that opened any one eyes of blind having been born. |
|
| 33 If not was this from God, not were able to do nothing. |
|
| 34 They answered and said to him: In sins thou wast born wholly; and thou teachest us? And they cast him out. |
|
| |
|
| 35 Heard the Jesus, that they cast him out; and having found him, said to him: Thou believest into the son of the God?
|
|
| 36 Answered he and said: And who is he, O sir, that I may believe into him? |
|
| 37 Said and to him the Jesus: Even thou hast seen him, and he talking with thee, he is.
|
|
| 38 He and said: I believe, O sir; and he prostrated to him. |
|
| 39 And said the Jesus: For judgment I into the world this came, that those not seeing might see, and those seeing blind might become.
|
|
| 40 And heard of the Pharisees these things those being with him, and said to him: Not also we blind are? |
|
| 41 Said to them the Jesus: If blind you were, not you would have sin; now but you say: That we see; the therefore sin of you remains.
