< John 9 >

1 And as he passed on, he saw a man blind from birth.
και παραγων ειδεν ανθρωπον τυφλον εκ γενετης
2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he would be born blind?
και ηρωτησαν αυτον οι μαθηται αυτου λεγοντες ραββι τις ημαρτεν ουτος η οι γονεις αυτου ινα τυφλος γεννηθη
3 Jesus answered, Neither this man sinned, nor his parents, but that the works of God might be manifested in him.
απεκριθη ο ιησους ουτε ουτος ημαρτεν ουτε οι γονεις αυτου αλλ ινα φανερωθη τα εργα του θεου εν αυτω
4 I must work the works of him who sent me while it is day. Night comes when no man can work.
εμε δει εργαζεσθαι τα εργα του πεμψαντος με εως ημερα εστιν ερχεται νυξ οτε ουδεις δυναται εργαζεσθαι
5 When I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
οταν εν τω κοσμω ω φως ειμι του κοσμου
6 Having said these things, he spat toward the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and rubbed the clay on the eyes of the blind man.
ταυτα ειπων επτυσεν χαμαι και εποιησεν πηλον εκ του πτυσματος και επεχρισεν τον πηλον επι τους οφθαλμους του τυφλου
7 And he said to him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam (which is translated, He who has been sent). Therefore he went and washed, and came seeing.
και ειπεν αυτω υπαγε νιψαι εις την κολυμβηθραν του σιλωαμ ο ερμηνευεται απεσταλμενος απηλθεν ουν και ενιψατο και ηλθεν βλεπων
8 The neighbors therefore and those who saw him formerly, that he was blind, said, Is this not he who sits and begs?
οι ουν γειτονες και οι θεωρουντες αυτον το προτερον οτι τυφλος ην ελεγον ουχ ουτος εστιν ο καθημενος και προσαιτων
9 Others said, He is this man, but others said, He is like him. That man said, I am.
αλλοι ελεγον οτι ουτος εστιν αλλοι δε οτι ομοιος αυτω εστιν εκεινος ελεγεν οτι εγω ειμι
10 They said to him therefore, How were thine eyes opened?
ελεγον ουν αυτω πως ανεωχθησαν σου οι οφθαλμοι
11 That man answered and said, A man called Jesus made clay, and rubbed on my eyes, and said to me, Go to the pool of Siloam and wash. And after going and washing, I received sight.
απεκριθη εκεινος και ειπεν ανθρωπος λεγομενος ιησους πηλον εποιησεν και επεχρισεν μου τους οφθαλμους και ειπεν μοι υπαγε εις την κολυμβηθραν του σιλωαμ και νιψαι απελθων δε και νιψαμενος ανεβλεψα
12 Therefore they said to him, Where is that man? He says, I do not know.
ειπον ουν αυτω που εστιν εκεινος λεγει ουκ οιδα
13 They brought him to the Pharisees-the former blind man.
αγουσιν αυτον προς τους φαρισαιους τον ποτε τυφλον
14 Now it was a sabbath when Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes.
ην δε σαββατον οτε τον πηλον εποιησεν ο ιησους και ανεωξεν αυτου τους οφθαλμους
15 Again therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he received sight. And he said to them, He put clay upon my eyes, and I washed, and I see.
παλιν ουν ηρωτων αυτον και οι φαρισαιοι πως ανεβλεψεν ο δε ειπεν αυτοις πηλον επεθηκεν επι τους οφθαλμους μου και ενιψαμην και βλεπω
16 Therefore some of the Pharisees said, This man is not from God, because he does not keep the sabbath. Other men said, How is a sinful man able to do such signs? And there was division among them.
ελεγον ουν εκ των φαρισαιων τινες ουτος ο ανθρωπος ουκ εστιν παρα του θεου οτι το σαββατον ου τηρει αλλοι ελεγον πως δυναται ανθρωπος αμαρτωλος τοιαυτα σημεια ποιειν και σχισμα ην εν αυτοις
17 They say again to the blind man, What do thou say about him, that he opened thine eyes? And he said, He is a prophet.
λεγουσιν τω τυφλω παλιν συ τι λεγεις περι αυτου οτι ηνοιξεν σου τους οφθαλμους ο δε ειπεν οτι προφητης εστιν
18 The Jews therefore did not believe about him, that he had been blind, and had received sight, until they called the parents of the man who had received sight.
ουκ επιστευσαν ουν οι ιουδαιοι περι αυτου οτι τυφλος ην και ανεβλεψεν εως οτου εφωνησαν τους γονεις αυτου του αναβλεψαντος
19 And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, whom ye say that he was born blind? How then does he now see?
και ηρωτησαν αυτους λεγοντες ουτος εστιν ο υιος υμων ον υμεις λεγετε οτι τυφλος εγεννηθη πως ουν αρτι βλεπει
20 And his parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind,
απεκριθησαν αυτοις οι γονεις αυτου και ειπον οιδαμεν οτι ουτος εστιν ο υιος ημων και οτι τυφλος εγεννηθη
21 but how he now sees, we know not. Or who opened his eyes, we know not. He has maturity, ask him. He will speak for himself.
πως δε νυν βλεπει ουκ οιδαμεν η τις ηνοιξεν αυτου τους οφθαλμους ημεις ουκ οιδαμεν αυτος ηλικιαν εχει αυτον ερωτησατε αυτος περι αυτου λαλησει
22 His parents spoke these things because they feared the Jews, for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man confessed him as Christ, he should become excommunicated from the synagogue.
ταυτα ειπον οι γονεις αυτου οτι εφοβουντο τους ιουδαιους ηδη γαρ συνετεθειντο οι ιουδαιοι ινα εαν τις αυτον ομολογηση χριστον αποσυναγωγος γενηται
23 Because of this his parents said, He has maturity, ask him.
δια τουτο οι γονεις αυτου ειπον οτι ηλικιαν εχει αυτον ερωτησατε
24 So they called the man who was blind, for a second time, and said to him, Give glory to God. We know that this man is sinful.
εφωνησαν ουν εκ δευτερου τον ανθρωπον ος ην τυφλος και ειπον αυτω δος δοξαν τω θεω ημεις οιδαμεν οτι ο ανθρωπος ουτος αμαρτωλος εστιν
25 That man therefore answered and said, If he is sinful, I know not. One thing I know, that being blind, now I see.
απεκριθη ουν εκεινος και ειπεν ει αμαρτωλος εστιν ουκ οιδα εν οιδα οτι τυφλος ων αρτι βλεπω
26 But again they said to him, What did he do to thee? How did he open thine eyes?
ειπον δε αυτω παλιν τι εποιησεν σοι πως ηνοιξεν σου τους οφθαλμους
27 He answered them, I told you already, and ye did not listen. Why do ye want to hear it again? Do ye not also want to become his disciples?
απεκριθη αυτοις ειπον υμιν ηδη και ουκ ηκουσατε τι παλιν θελετε ακουειν μη και υμεις θελετε αυτου μαθηται γενεσθαι
28 They reviled him, and said, Thou are a disciple of that man, but we are disciples of Moses.
ελοιδορησαν ουν αυτον και ειπον συ ει μαθητης εκεινου ημεις δε του μωσεως εσμεν μαθηται
29 We know that God has spoken to Moses, but this man, we know not where he is from.
ημεις οιδαμεν οτι μωση λελαληκεν ο θεος τουτον δε ουκ οιδαμεν ποθεν εστιν
30 The man answered and said to them, For in this it is amazing, that ye know not where he is from, and yet he opened my eyes.
απεκριθη ο ανθρωπος και ειπεν αυτοις εν γαρ τουτω θαυμαστον εστιν οτι υμεις ουκ οιδατε ποθεν εστιν και ανεωξεν μου τους οφθαλμους
31 And we know that God does not listen to sinners, but if any man is a worshiper of God, and does his will, he listens to this man.
οιδαμεν δε οτι αμαρτωλων ο θεος ουκ ακουει αλλ εαν τις θεοσεβης η και το θελημα αυτου ποιη τουτου ακουει
32 From the age, it was not heard that any man opened the eyes of a man who was born blind. (aiōn g165)
εκ του αιωνος ουκ ηκουσθη οτι ηνοιξεν τις οφθαλμους τυφλου γεγεννημενου (aiōn g165)
33 If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.
ει μη ην ουτος παρα θεου ουκ ηδυνατο ποιειν ουδεν
34 They answered and said to him, Thou were born entirely in sins, and thou teach us? And they cast him outside.
απεκριθησαν και ειπον αυτω εν αμαρτιαις συ εγεννηθης ολος και συ διδασκεις ημας και εξεβαλον αυτον εξω
35 Jesus heard that they cast him outside. And having found him, he said to him, Do thou believe in the Son of God?
ηκουσεν ο ιησους οτι εξεβαλον αυτον εξω και ευρων αυτον ειπεν αυτω συ πιστευεις εις τον υιον του θεου
36 That man answered and said, And who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him?
απεκριθη εκεινος και ειπεν τις εστιν κυριε ινα πιστευσω εις αυτον
37 And Jesus said to him, Thou have both seen him, and he is that man who speaks with thee.
ειπεν δε αυτω ο ιησους και εωρακας αυτον και ο λαλων μετα σου εκεινος εστιν
38 And he affirmed, Lord, I believe. And he worshiped him.
ο δε εφη πιστευω κυριε και προσεκυνησεν αυτω
39 And Jesus said, For judgment I came into this world, so that those not seeing might see, and those who see might become blind.
και ειπεν ο ιησους εις κριμα εγω εις τον κοσμον τουτον ηλθον ινα οι μη βλεποντες βλεπωσιν και οι βλεποντες τυφλοι γενωνται
40 And those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and they said to him, Are we also blind?
και ηκουσαν εκ των φαρισαιων ταυτα οι οντες μετ αυτου και ειπον αυτω μη και ημεις τυφλοι εσμεν
41 Jesus said to them, If ye were blind, ye would have no sin, but now ye say, We see, therefore your sin remains.
ειπεν αυτοις ο ιησους ει τυφλοι ητε ουκ αν ειχετε αμαρτιαν νυν δε λεγετε οτι βλεπομεν η ουν αμαρτια υμων μενει
