Κατα Ιωαννην 9
1 και παραγων ειδεν ανθρωπον τυφλον εκ γενετης
Now as He was passing by He saw a man blind from birth.
2 και ηρωτησαν αυτον οι μαθηται αυτου λεγοντες ραββι τις ημαρτεν ουτος η οι γονεις αυτου ινα τυφλος γεννηθη
And His disciples asked Him saying, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, in that he was born blind?”
3 απεκριθη ιησους ουτε ουτος ημαρτεν ουτε οι γονεις αυτου αλλ ινα φανερωθη τα εργα του θεου εν αυτω
Jesus answered: “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but so that the works of God might be displayed in him.
4 εμε δει εργαζεσθαι τα εργα του πεμψαντος με εως ημερα εστιν ερχεται νυξ οτε ουδεις δυναται εργαζεσθαι
I must accomplish the works of Him who sent me while it is day; night is coming when no one can work.
5 οταν εν τω κοσμω ω φως ειμι του κοσμου
While I am in the world, I am the Light of the world.”
6 ταυτα ειπων επτυσεν χαμαι και εποιησεν πηλον εκ του πτυσματος και επεχρισεν τον πηλον επι τους οφθαλμους του τυφλου
Upon saying these things He spat on the ground and made mud with the saliva, and spread the mud on the blind man's eyes.
7 και ειπεν αυτω υπαγε νιψαι εις την κολυμβηθραν του σιλωαμ ο ερμηνευεται απεσταλμενος απηλθεν ουν και ενιψατο και ηλθεν βλεπων
And He said to him, “Go wash in the pool of Siloam” (which is translated, ‘Sent’). So he went and washed, and came away seeing!
8 οι ουν γειτονες και οι θεωρουντες αυτον το προτερον οτι τυφλος ην ελεγον ουχ ουτος εστιν ο καθημενος και προσαιτων
Then the neighbors and those who previously had seen that he was blind started saying, “Isn't this the man who sat begging?”
9 αλλοι ελεγον οτι ουτος εστιν αλλοι δε οτι ομοιος αυτω εστιν εκεινος ελεγεν οτι εγω ειμι
Others said, “This is he”; still others, “He is like him.” He kept saying, “I'm the one!”
10 ελεγον ουν αυτω πως ανεωχθησαν σου οι οφθαλμοι
So they said to him, “How were your eyes opened?”
11 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
He answered and said: “A man called Jesus made mud and anointed my eyes and said to me, ‘Go to the pool of Siloam and wash.’ So when I went and washed, I saw!”
12 ειπον ουν αυτω που εστιν εκεινος λεγει ουκ οιδα
Then they said to him, “Where is He?” He says, “I don't know.”
13 αγουσιν αυτον προς τους φαρισαιους τον ποτε τυφλον
They bring the man who was formerly blind to the Pharisees.
14 ην δε σαββατον οτε τον πηλον εποιησεν ο ιησους και ανεωξεν αυτου τους οφθαλμους
(Now it was a Sabbath when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes.)
15 παλιν ουν ηρωτων αυτον και οι φαρισαιοι πως ανεβλεψεν ο δε ειπεν αυτοις πηλον επεθηκεν μου επι τους οφθαλμους και ενιψαμην και βλεπω
So once again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. So he said to them, “He put mud on my eyes, and I washed, and I see.”
16 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
Then some of the Pharisees said, “This man cannot be from God, because he does not keep the Sabbath,” Others were saying, “How can a sinful man do such signs?” And there was a division among them.
17 λεγουσιν τω τυφλω παλιν συ τι λεγεις περι αυτου οτι ηνοιξεν σου τους οφθαλμους ο δε ειπεν οτι προφητης εστιν
So they address the blind man again, “What do you say about him, in that he opened your eyes?” He said, “He is a prophet.”
18 ουκ επιστευσαν ουν οι ιουδαιοι περι αυτου οτι τυφλος ην και ανεβλεψεν εως οτου εφωνησαν τους γονεις αυτου του αναβλεψαντος
However the Jews did not believe concerning him that he was blind and received sight until they summoned the parents of the one who had received sight.
19 και ηρωτησαν αυτους λεγοντες ουτος εστιν ο υιος υμων ον υμεις λεγετε οτι τυφλος εγεννηθη πως ουν αρτι βλεπει
And they asked them saying: “Is this your son, whom you say was born blind? How then does he now see?”
20 απεκριθησαν δε αυτοις οι γονεις αυτου και ειπον οιδαμεν οτι ουτος εστιν ο υιος ημων και οτι τυφλος εγεννηθη
So his parents answered them and said: “We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;
21 πως δε νυν βλεπει ουκ οιδαμεν η τις ηνοιξεν αυτου τους οφθαλμους ημεις ουκ οιδαμεν αυτος ηλικιαν εχει αυτον ερωτησατε αυτος περι εαυτου λαλησει
but by what means he now sees we don't know, or who opened his eyes we don't know. He is of age. Ask him. He will speak for himself.”
22 ταυτα ειπον οι γονεις αυτου οτι εφοβουντο τους ιουδαιους ηδη γαρ συνετεθειντο οι ιουδαιοι ινα εαν τις αυτον ομολογηση χριστον αποσυναγωγος γενηται
His parents said these things because they feared the Jews, because the Jews had already agreed that if anyone confessed Him to be Christ he would be barred from the synagogue.
23 δια τουτο οι γονεις αυτου ειπον οτι ηλικιαν εχει αυτον ερωτησατε
That is why his parents said, “He is of age; ask him.”
24 εφωνησαν ουν εκ δευτερου τον ανθρωπον ος ην τυφλος και ειπον αυτω δος δοξαν τω θεω ημεις οιδαμεν οτι ο ανθρωπος ουτος αμαρτωλος εστιν
So they summoned the man who had been blind a second time and said to him: “Give glory to God! We know that this man is a sinner.”
25 απεκριθη ουν εκεινος και ειπεν ει αμαρτωλος εστιν ουκ οιδα εν οιδα οτι τυφλος ων αρτι βλεπω
So he answered and said: “That He is a sinner, I do not know. One thing I do know, that having been blind I now see!”
26 ειπον δε αυτω παλιν τι εποιησεν σοι πως ηνοιξεν σου τους οφθαλμους
So they said to him again: “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?”
27 απεκριθη αυτοις ειπον υμιν ηδη και ουκ ηκουσατε τι παλιν θελετε ακουειν μη και υμεις θελετε αυτου μαθηται γενεσθαι
He answered them: “I already told you and you didn't listen. Why do you want to hear it again? You don't want to become His disciples too, do you?”
28 ελοιδορησαν αυτον και ειπον συ ει μαθητης εκεινου ημεις δε του μωσεως εσμεν μαθηται
They reviled him and said: “You are that fellow's disciple, but we are Moses' disciples.
29 ημεις οιδαμεν οτι μωση λελαληκεν ο θεος τουτον δε ουκ οιδαμεν ποθεν εστιν
We know that God spoke to Moses; but this fellow—we don't know where he's from.”
30 απεκριθη ο ανθρωπος και ειπεν αυτοις εν γαρ τουτω θαυμαστον εστιν οτι υμεις ουκ οιδατε ποθεν εστιν και ανεωξεν μου τους οφθαλμους
The man answered and said to them: “Why, this is remarkable—you don't know where He is from; yet He opened my eyes!
31 οιδαμεν δε οτι αμαρτωλων ο θεος ουκ ακουει αλλ εαν τις θεοσεβης η και το θελημα αυτου ποιη τουτου ακουει
Now we know that God doesn't listen to sinners; but if anyone is God-fearing and does His will, to him He listens.
Since time began it was never heard that anyone opened the eyes of a person born blind. (aiōn g165)
33 ει μη ην ουτος παρα θεου ουκ ηδυνατο ποιειν ουδεν
If this man were not from God he would not be able to do anything.”
34 απεκριθησαν και ειπον αυτω εν αμαρτιαις συ εγεννηθης ολος και συ διδασκεις ημας και εξεβαλον αυτον εξω
They answered and said to him, “You were totally born in sins, and you are teaching us?” And they expelled him.
35 ηκουσεν ο ιησους οτι εξεβαλον αυτον εξω και ευρων αυτον ειπεν αυτω συ πιστευεις εις τον υιον του θεου
Jesus heard that they had expelled him, and finding him He said to him, “Do you believe into the Son of God?”
36 απεκριθη εκεινος και ειπεν και τις εστιν κυριε ινα πιστευσω εις αυτον
He answered and said, “And who is He, Lord, that I may believe into Him?”
37 ειπεν δε αυτω ο ιησους και εωρακας αυτον και ο λαλων μετα σου εκεινος εστιν
So Jesus said to him, “You have both seen Him and He is the One who is speaking with you.”
38 ο δε εφη πιστευω κυριε και προσεκυνησεν αυτω
So he said, “Lord, I believe!” And he worshiped Him.
39 και ειπεν ο ιησους εις κριμα εγω εις τον κοσμον τουτον ηλθον ινα οι μη βλεποντες βλεπωσιν και οι βλεποντες τυφλοι γενωνται
And Jesus said, “I came into this world for judgment, so that those who do not see may see, and those who ‘see’ may become blind.”
40 και ηκουσαν εκ των φαρισαιων ταυτα οι οντες μετ αυτου και ειπον αυτω μη και ημεις τυφλοι εσμεν
And some of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these words and said to Him, “We aren't blind too, are we?”
41 ειπεν αυτοις ο ιησους ει τυφλοι ητε ουκ αν ειχετε αμαρτιαν νυν δε λεγετε οτι βλεπομεν η ουν αμαρτια υμων μενει
Jesus said to them: “If you were ‘blind’ you would not have sin. But now you say, ‘We see,’ so your sin remains.
