< John 9 >
1 As Jesus was passing by, he saw a man born blind.
ⲁ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉϥⲡⲁⲣⲁⲅⲉ ⲁϥⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲁⲩϫⲡⲟϥ ⲉϥⲟ ⲛⲃⲗⲗⲉ
2 His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, why was this man born blind? Was it him who sinned, or was it his parents?”
ⲃ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ϫⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ϩⲣⲁⲃⲃⲉⲓ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲧⲁϥⲣ ⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ϫⲛ ⲛⲉϥⲉⲓⲟⲧⲉ ⲛⲉ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲩⲉϫⲡⲟϥ ⲉϥⲟ ⲃⲃⲗⲗⲉ
3 Jesus replied, “It wasn't because the man or his parents sinned. But so that what God can do may be shown in his life,
ⲅ̅ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ ⲛϭⲓ ⲓⲥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲡⲁⲓ ⲣ ⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲛⲉϥⲕⲉⲉⲓⲟⲧⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲣⲉⲛⲉϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲛϩⲏⲧϥ
4 we have to keep on doing the work of the one who sent me as long as it is still daytime. The night is coming when no one can work.

ⲉ̅ϩⲟⲥⲟⲛ ϯϩⲙ ⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲁⲛⲅ ⲡⲟⲩⲟⲓⲛ ⲙⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ
6 After he'd said this, Jesus spat on the ground and made some mud with the saliva which he put on the man's eyes.

7 Then Jesus told him, “Go and wash in the Pool of Siloam” (which means “sent”). So the man went and washed, and when he went home he could see.

8 His neighbors and those who had known him as a beggar, asked, “Isn't this the man who used to sit and beg?”

9 Some said he was, while others said “no, it's just someone who looks like him.” But the man kept saying, “It is me!”
ⲑ̅ϩⲉⲛⲕⲟⲟⲩⲉ ⲛⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ϩⲉⲛⲕⲟⲟⲩⲉ ⲇⲉ ϫⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉϥⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ
10 “So how is it you can see?” they asked him.
ⲓ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁⲩ ϭⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲁϣ ϭⲉ ⲛϩⲉ ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲱⲛ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲉⲕⲃⲁⲗ
11 He replied, “A man called Jesus made some mud and put it on my eyes and told me, ‘Go and wash yourself in the Pool of Siloam.’ So I went and washed, and now I can see.”
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ ϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲓⲥ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲁⲙⲓⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲙⲉ ⲁϥϫⲉϩ ⲛⲁⲃⲁⲗ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲓ ϫⲉ ⲃⲱⲕ ⲉⲡⲥⲓⲗⲱⲁⲙ ⲛⲅⲉⲓⲁ ⲡⲉⲕϩⲟ ⲁⲓⲃⲱⲕ ϭⲉ ⲁⲓⲉⲓⲁ ⲡⲁϩⲟ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲉⲓⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ
12 “Where is he?” they asked. “I don't know,” he replied.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁⲩ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲉϥⲧⲱⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲛϯⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲛ
13 They took the man who had been blind to the Pharisees.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲁⲩⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲛⲉϥⲟ ⲃⲃⲗⲗⲉ ⲉⲣⲁⲧⲟⲩ ⲛⲛⲉⲫⲁⲣⲓⲥⲁⲓⲟⲥ
14 Now it was the Sabbath when Jesus had made the mud and opened the blind man's eyes.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲛⲉ ⲡⲥⲁⲃⲃⲁⲧⲟⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉⲓⲥ ⲧⲁⲙⲓⲉ ⲡⲟⲙⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱⲛ ⲛⲛⲉϥⲃⲁⲗ
15 So the Pharisees also asked him how he could see. He told them, “He put mud on my eyes, and I washed, and now I can see.”
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲁⲩϫⲛⲟⲩϥ ϭⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲉⲫⲁⲣⲓⲥⲁⲓⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲁⲕⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲁϣ ⲛϩⲉ ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲁϥⲉⲥϭ ⲟⲩⲟⲙⲉ ⲉⲛⲁⲃⲁⲗ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲓⲁ ⲡⲁϩⲟ ⲁⲓⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ
16 Some of the Pharisees said, “The man who did this can't be from God because he doesn't keep the Sabbath.” But others wondered, “How could a sinner do such miracles?” So they were divided in their opinion.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉ ϩⲟⲓⲛⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲫⲁⲣⲓⲥⲁⲓⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲉⲓⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ϫⲉ ⲛϥϩⲁⲣⲉϩ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲡⲥⲁⲃⲃⲁⲧⲟⲛ ϩⲉⲛⲕⲟⲟⲩⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲁϣ ⲛϩⲉ ⲟⲩⲛ ϣϭⲟⲙ ⲛⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲣⲉϥⲣ ⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲉⲣ ⲛⲉⲓⲙⲁⲓⲛ ⲛⲧⲉⲓⲙⲓⲛⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲣⲉⲟⲩⲥⲭⲓⲥⲙⲁ ϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ
17 So they went on questioning the man. “What's your opinion about him, then, since it's your eyes he opened,” they asked. “He's surely a prophet,” the man replied.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁⲩ ⲟⲛ ⲙⲡⲏ ⲉⲧⲉⲛⲉϥⲟ ⲃⲃⲗⲗⲉ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲟⲕ ⲉⲕϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲃⲏⲏⲧϥ ϫⲉ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱⲛ ⲛⲛⲉⲕⲃⲁⲗ ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲡⲉ
18 The Jewish leaders still refused to believe that the man who had been blind could now see until they had called in the man's parents.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲛⲉⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ϭⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲃⲏⲏⲧϥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲩⲃⲗⲗⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϣⲁⲛⲧⲟⲩⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲛⲉⲓⲟⲧⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ
19 They asked them, “Is this your son whom you say was born blind? So how is it that now he can see?”
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩϫⲛⲟⲩⲟⲩ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲛϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛϫⲡⲟϥ ⲉϥⲟ ⲛⲃⲗⲗⲉ ⲛⲁϣ ϭⲉ ⲛϩⲉ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ϥⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ
20 His parents answered, “We know this is our son who was born blind.
ⲕ̅ⲛⲉϥⲉⲓⲟⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ ⲡⲉϫⲁⲩ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲧⲛⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉⲛϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲁⲩ ϫⲡⲟϥ ⲉϥⲟ ⲛⲃⲗⲗⲉ
21 But we've no idea how he can see now, or who healed him. Why don't you ask him, he's old enough. He can speak for himself.”
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲛⲁϣ ⲇⲉ ⲛϩⲉ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ϥⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲧⲛⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲏ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲟⲩⲱⲛ ⲛⲛⲉϥⲃⲁⲗ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲛⲧⲛⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲧⲟϥ ϩⲱⲱϥ ⲁϥⲣ ⲧⲉ ⲛϣⲁϫⲉ ϩⲁⲣⲟϥ
22 The reason his parents said this was because they were afraid of what the Jewish leaders would do. The Jewish leaders had already announced that anyone who declared that Jesus was the Messiah would be thrown out of the synagogue.
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲛⲧⲁⲩϫⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲉϥⲉⲓⲟⲧⲉ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲩⲣ ϩⲟⲧⲉ ϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲛⲉ ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲱ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲩⲥⲙⲓⲛⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲣϣⲁⲛ ⲟⲩⲁ ϩⲟⲙⲟⲗⲟⲅⲓ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲭⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲉϥⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲁⲡⲟⲥⲩⲛⲁⲅⲱⲅⲟⲥ
23 That was why his parents said, “Ask him, he's old enough.”

24 Once more they called in the man who had been blind, and told him, “Give God the glory! We know this man is a sinner.”

25 The man replied, “Whether he's a sinner or not, I don't know. All I know is that I was blind and now I can see.”

27 The man replied, “I already told you. Weren't you listening? Why do you want to hear it again? You don't want to become his disciples too, do you?”

34 “You were born totally sinful, and yet you're trying to lecture us,” they replied. And they threw him out of the synagogue.

35 When Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, he went and found the man, and asked him, “Do you trust in the Son of man?”

38 “I trust you, Lord!” he said, and he kneeled in worship before Jesus.
