John 9

1 Now as he was passing along he saw a man, blind from birth.

και παραγων ειδεν ανθρωπον τυφλον εκ γενετης

2 "Rabbi," his disciples asked him, "who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?"

και ηρωτησαν αυτον οι μαθηται αυτου λεγοντες ραββι τις ημαρτεν ουτος η οι γονεις αυτου ινα τυφλος γεννηθη

3 "Neither he nor his parents sinned." replied Jesus; "it happened that the works of God might be made manifest 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 that sent me while it is day; night is coming, when no man can work.

εμε δει εργαζεσθαι τα εργα του πεμψαντος με εως ημερα εστιν ερχεται νυξ οτε ουδεις δυναται εργαζεσθαι

5 "While I am in the world, I am the Light of the world."

οταν εν τω κοσμω ω φως ειμι του κοσμου

6 When he had thus spoken he spat on the ground, and made clay with the spittle, and smeared the clay on the man’s eyes.

ταυτα ειπων επτυσεν χαμαι και εποιησεν πηλον εκ του πτυσματος και επεχρισεν τον πηλον επι τους οφθαλμους του τυφλου

7 Then he said to him, "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam" (a word which means "sent"). So the man went and washed his eyes, and came back seeing.

και ειπεν αυτω υπαγε νιψαι εις την κολυμβηθραν του σιλωαμ ο ερμηνευεται απεσταλμενος απηλθεν ουν και ενιψατο και ηλθεν βλεπων

8 Upon this the neighbors and those who used to know him by sight as a beggar, began asking, "Is not this the man who used to sit and beg?"

οι ουν γειτονες και οι θεωρουντες αυτον το προτερον οτι τυφλος ην ελεγον ουχ ουτος εστιν ο καθημενος και προσαιτων

9 Some said, "It is he." Others said, "No, but he looks like him." "I am the man," he said.

αλλοι ελεγον οτι ουτος εστιν αλλοι δε οτι ομοιος αυτω εστιν εκεινος ελεγεν οτι εγω ειμι

10 So they asked him, "How then were your eyes opened?"

ελεγον ουν αυτω πως ανεωχθησαν σου οι οφθαλμοι

11 He answered. "The man who is called Jesus made clay and anointed my eyes, and said to me, ‘Go to Siloam and wash’; so I went and washed and received my 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 "Where is he?" they asked. "I do not know," answered the man.

ειπον ουν αυτω που εστιν εκεινος λεγει ουκ οιδα

13 Then they brought the man who had been blind to the Pharisees.

αγουσιν αυτον προς τους φαρισαιους τον ποτε τυφλον

14 Now it was on the Sabbath that Jesus had made clay and opened his eyes;

ην δε σαββατον οτε τον πηλον εποιησεν ο ιησους και ανεωξεν αυτου τους οφθαλμους

15 so the Pharisees again began to ask him questions about how he had regained his sight; and he said to them, "He put clay on my eyes, and I washed them, and now 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 Then some of the Pharisees began to say, "This man in not from God, because he does not keep the Sabbath." But others said, "How can a man who is a sinner perform such signs?"

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 So there was a difference of opinion among them. Accordingly they said to the blind man, "What have you to say about him, now that he has opened your eyes?" "He is a prophet," he answered.

λεγουσιν τω τυφλω παλιν συ τι λεγεις περι αυτου οτι ηνοιξεν σου τους οφθαλμους ο δε ειπεν οτι προφητης εστιν

18 The Jews, however, did not believe about him that he was blind and had received his sight, until they called the parents of the man whose sight had been restored,

ουκ επιστευσαν ουν οι ιουδαιοι περι αυτου οτι τυφλος ην και ανεβλεψεν εως οτου εφωνησαν τους γονεις αυτου του αναβλεψαντος

19 and questioned them. "Is this your son," they said, "who you say 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 Then in reply his parents 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 do not know, nor do we know who has opened his eyes. Ask him, himself. He is of age. 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 This his parents said because they were afraid of the Jews, for the Jews had already agreed that if any one should confess that he was the Christ, he should be expelled 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 It was because this that his parents said. "He is of age. Ask him, himself."

δια τουτο οι γονεις αυτου ειπον οτι ηλικιαν εχει αυτον ερωτησατε

24 So the Jews a second time summoned the man who had been blind, and said to him.

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 "Give glory to God! we know that this man is a sinner." Upon this the blind man answered. "I do not know if he is a sinner. One thing I do know, that once I was blind, and know I can see."

απεκριθη ουν εκεινος και ειπεν ει αμαρτωλος εστιν ουκ οιδα εν οιδα οτι τυφλος ων αρτι βλεπω

26 "What was it he did to you?" they asked him; "How did he open your eyes?"

ειπον δε αυτω παλιν τι εποιησεν σοι πως ηνοιξεν σου τους οφθαλμους

27 He answered. "I have told you already, and you did not listen. Why do you wish to hear it again? Can it be that you, too, wish to become his disciples?"

απεκριθη αυτοις ειπον υμιν ηδη και ουκ ηκουσατε τι παλιν θελετε ακουειν μη και υμεις θελετε αυτου μαθηται γενεσθαι

28 Then they stormed at him. "You are his disciple. We are Moses’ disciples.

ελοιδορησαν ουν αυτον και ειπον συ ει μαθητης εκεινου ημεις δε του μωσεως εσμεν μαθηται

29 "We know that God spoke to Moses. But this fellow! We do not know where he comes from."

ημεις οιδαμεν οτι μωση λελαληκεν ο θεος τουτον δε ουκ οιδαμεν ποθεν εστιν

30 "This is truly astonishing," said the man in reply, "that you do not know where he is from, and yet he has 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 "We know that God does not listen to sinners, but if any one is God- fearing and does his will, to such he listens.

οιδαμεν δε οτι αμαρτωλων ο θεος ουκ ακουει αλλ εαν τις θεοσεβης η και το θελημα αυτου ποιη τουτου ακουει

32 "Since the beginning of the world such a thing as opening the eyes of one who was born blind was never heard of. (aiōn g165)

εκ του αιωνος ουκ ηκουσθη οτι ηνοιξεν τις οφθαλμους τυφλου γεγεννημενου (aiōn g165)

33 "If this man had not come of God he could have done nothing."

ει μη ην ουτος παρα θεου ουκ ηδυνατο ποιειν ουδεν

34 They answered, "You were wholly born in sins, and do you teach us?" Then they cast him out.

απεκριθησαν και ειπον αυτω εν αμαρτιαις συ εγεννηθης ολος και συ διδασκεις ημας και εξεβαλον αυτον εξω

35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said, "Do you believe in the Son of man?"

ηκουσεν ο ιησους οτι εξεβαλον αυτον εξω και ευρων αυτον ειπεν αυτω συ πιστευεις εις τον υιον του θεου

36 "Who is he, Sir," he replied, "that I may believe on him."

απεκριθη εκεινος και ειπεν τις εστιν κυριε ινα πιστευσω εις αυτον

37 "You have already seen him," Jesus answered, "and it is he who now speaks to you."

ειπεν δε αυτω ο ιησους και εωρακας αυτον και ο λαλων μετα σου εκεινος εστιν

38 "I do believe, Sir," said the man, and he prostrated himself at his feet. And Jesus said,

ο δε εφη πιστευω κυριε και προσεκυνησεν αυτω

39 "For judgment am I come into the world, to make the sightless see, and to make the seeing blind."

και ειπεν ο ιησους εις κριμα εγω εις τον κοσμον τουτον ηλθον ινα οι μη βλεποντες βλεπωσιν και οι βλεποντες τυφλοι γενωνται

40 Some of the Pharisees who were with him heard this and asked, "We are not blind, are we?"

και ηκουσαν εκ των φαρισαιων ταυτα οι οντες μετ αυτου και ειπον αυτω μη και ημεις τυφλοι εσμεν

41 "If you were blind," Jesus answered them, "you would have no sin. But now you are declaring, ‘We see’; so your sin remains.

ειπεν αυτοις ο ιησους ει τυφλοι ητε ουκ αν ειχετε αμαρτιαν νυν δε λεγετε οτι βλεπομεν η ουν αμαρτια υμων μενει
