1. As Jesus was walking along, he saw a man who had been born blind.
|
1. And G2532 as Jesus passed by G3855 , he saw G1492 a man G444 which was blind G5185 from G1537 his birth G1079 .
|
|
2. His followers asked him, "Teacher, whose sin caused this man to be born blind -- his own sin or his parents' sin?"
|
2. And G2532 his G846 disciples G3101 asked G2065 him G846 , saying G3004 , Master G4461 , who G5101 did sin G264 , this man G3778 , or G2228 his G846 parents G1118 , that G2443 he was born G1080 blind G5185
|
|
3. Jesus answered, "It is not this man's sin or his parents' sin that made him be blind. This man was born blind so that God's power could be shown in him.
|
3. Jesus G2424 answered G611 , Neither G3777 hath this man G3778 sinned G264 , nor G3777 his G846 parents G1118 : but G235 that G2443 the G3588 works G2041 of God G2316 should be made manifest G5319 in G1722 him G846 .
|
|
4. While it is daytime, we must continue doing the work of the One who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work.
|
4. I G1691 must G1163 work G2038 the G3588 works G2041 of him that sent G3992 me G3165 , while G2193 it is G2076 day G2250 : the night G3571 cometh G2064 , when G3753 no man G3762 can G1410 work G2038 .
|
|
5. While I am in the world, I am the light of the world."
|
5. As long as G3752 I am G5600 in G1722 the G3588 world G2889 , I am G1510 the light G5457 of the G3588 world G2889 .
|
|
6. After Jesus said this, he spit on the ground and made some mud with it and put the mud on the man's eyes.
|
6. When he had thus G5023 spoken G2036 , he spat G4429 on the ground G5476 , and G2532 made G4160 clay G4081 of G1537 the G3588 spittle G4427 , and G2532 he anointed G2025 the G3588 eyes G3788 of the G3588 blind man G5185 with the G3588 clay G4081 ,
|
|
7. Then he told the man, "Go and wash in the Pool of Siloam." (Siloam means Sent.) So the man went, washed, and came back seeing.
|
7. And G2532 said G2036 unto him G846 , Go G5217 , wash G3538 in G1519 the G3588 pool G2861 of Siloam G4611 , ( which G3739 is by interpretation G2059 , Sent G649 .) He went his way G565 therefore G3767 , and G2532 washed G3538 , and G2532 came G2064 seeing G991 .
|
|
8. The neighbors and some people who had earlier seen this man begging said, "Isn't this the same man who used to sit and beg?"
|
8. The G3588 neighbors G1069 therefore G3767 , and G2532 they which before G4386 had seen G2334 him G846 that G3754 he was G2258 blind G5185 , said G3004 , Is G2076 not G3756 this G3778 he that sat G2521 and G2532 begged G4319 ?
|
|
9. Some said, "He is the one," but others said, "No, he only looks like him." The man himself said, "I am the man."
|
9. Some G243 said G3004 , This G3778 is G2076 he G1161 : others G243 said, He is G2076 like G3664 him G846 : but he G1565 said G3004 , I G1473 am G1510 he.
|
|
10. They asked, "How did you get your sight?"
|
10. Therefore G3767 said G3004 they unto him G846 , How G4459 were thine G4675 eyes G3788 opened G455 ?
|
|
11. He answered, "The man named Jesus made some mud and put it on my eyes. Then he told me to go to Siloam and wash. So I went and washed, and then I could see."
|
11. He G1565 answered G611 and G2532 said G2036 , A man G444 that is called G3004 Jesus G2424 made G4160 clay G4081 , and G2532 anointed G2025 mine G3450 eyes G3788 , and G2532 said G2036 unto me G3427 , Go G5217 to G1519 the G3588 pool G2861 of Siloam G4611 , and G2532 wash G3538 : and G1161 I went G565 and G2532 washed G3538 , and G2532 I received sight G308 .
|
|
12. They asked him, "Where is this man?" "I don't know," he answered.
|
12. Then G3767 said G2036 they unto him G846 , Where G4226 is G2076 he G1565 ? He said G3004 , I know G1492 not G3756 .
|
|
13. Then the people took to the Pharisees the man who had been blind.
|
13. They brought G71 to G4314 the G3588 Pharisees G5330 him G846 that aforetime G4218 was blind G5185 .
|
|
14. The day Jesus had made mud and healed his eyes was a Sabbath day.
|
14. And G1161 it was G2258 the sabbath day G4521 when G3753 Jesus G2424 made G4160 the G3588 clay G4081 , and G2532 opened G455 his G846 eyes G3788 .
|
|
15. So now the Pharisees asked the man, "How did you get your sight?" He answered, "He put mud on my eyes, I washed, and now I see."
|
15. Then G3767 again G3825 the G3588 Pharisees G5330 also G2532 asked G2065 him G846 how G4459 he had received his sight G308 G1161 . He G3588 said G2036 unto them G846 , He put G2007 clay G4081 upon G1909 mine G3450 eyes G3788 , and G2532 I washed G3538 , and G2532 do see G991 .
|
|
16. So some of the Pharisees were saying, "This man does not keep the Sabbath day, so he is not from God." But others said, "A man who is a sinner can't do miracles like these." So they could not agree with each other.
|
16. Therefore G3767 said G3004 some G5100 of G1537 the G3588 Pharisees G5330 , This G3778 man G444 is G2076 not G3756 of G3844 God G2316 , because G3754 he keepeth G5083 not G3756 the G3588 sabbath day G4521 . Others G243 said G3004 , How G4459 can G1410 a man G444 that is a sinner G268 do G4160 such G5108 miracles G4592 ? And G2532 there was G2258 a division G4978 among G1722 them G846 .
|
|
17. They asked the man again, "What do you say about him since it was your eyes he opened?" The man answered, "He is a prophet."
|
17. They say G3004 unto the G3588 blind man G5185 again G3825 , What G5101 sayest G3004 thou G4771 of G4012 him G846 , that G3754 he hath opened G455 thine G4675 eyes G3788 G1161 ? He G3588 said G2036 , He is G2076 a prophet G4396 .
|
|
18. The Jews did not believe that he had been blind and could now see again. So they sent for the man's parents
|
18. But G3767 the G3588 Jews G2453 did not G3756 believe G4100 concerning G4012 him G846 , that G3754 he had been G2258 blind G5185 , and G2532 received his sight G308 , until G2193 G3755 they called G5455 the G3588 parents G1118 of him G846 that had received his sight G308 .
|
|
19. and asked them, "Is this your son who you say was born blind? Then how does he now see?"
|
19. And G2532 they asked G2065 them G846 , saying G3004 , Is G2076 this G3778 your G5216 son G5207 , who G3739 ye G5210 say G3004 was G3754 born G1080 blind G5185 ? how G4459 then G3767 doth he now G737 see G991 ?
|
|
20. His parents answered, "We know that this is our son and that he was born blind.
|
20. His G846 parents G1118 answered G611 them G846 and G2532 said G2036 , We know G1492 that G3754 this G3778 is G2076 our G2257 son G5207 , and G2532 that G3754 he was born G1080 blind G5185 :
|
|
21. But we don't know how he can now see. We don't know who opened his eyes. Ask him. He is old enough to speak for himself."
|
21. But G1161 by what means G4459 he now G3568 seeth G991 , we know G1492 not G3756 ; or G2228 who G5101 hath opened G455 his G846 eyes G3788 , we G2249 know G1492 not G3756 : he G846 is of age G2192 G2244 ; ask G2065 him G846 : he G846 shall speak G2980 for G4012 himself G848 .
|
|
22. His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews, who had already decided that anyone who said Jesus was the Christ would be put out of the synagogue.
|
22. These G5023 words spake G2036 his G846 parents G1118 , because G3754 they feared G5399 the G3588 Jews G2453 : for G1063 the G3588 Jews G2453 had agreed G4934 already G2235 , that G2443 if G1437 any man G5100 did confess G3670 that he G846 was Christ G5547 , he should be G1096 put out of the synagogue G656 .
|
|
23. That is why his parents said, "He is old enough. Ask him."
|
23. Therefore G1223 G5124 said G2036 his G846 parents G1118 , He is of age G2192 G2244 ; ask G2065 him G846 .
|
|
24. So for the second time, they called the man who had been blind. They said, "You should give God the glory by telling the truth. We know that this man is a sinner."
|
24. Then G3767 again G1537 G1208 called G5455 they the G3588 man G444 that G3739 was G2258 blind G5185 , and G2532 said G2036 unto him G846 , Give G1325 God G2316 the praise G1391 : we G2249 know G1492 that G3754 this G3778 man G444 is G2076 a sinner G268 .
|
|
25. He answered, "I don't know if he is a sinner. One thing I do know: I was blind, and now I see."
|
25. He G1565 answered G611 G3767 and G2532 said G2036 , Whether G1487 he be G2076 a sinner G268 or no, I know G1492 not G3756 : one thing G1520 I know G1492 , that G3754 , whereas I was G5607 blind G5185 , now G737 I see G991 .
|
|
26. They asked, "What did he do to you? How did he make you see again?"
|
26. Then G1161 said G2036 they to him G846 again G3825 , What G5101 did G4160 he to thee G4671 ? how G4459 opened G455 he thine G4675 eyes G3788 ?
|
|
27. He answered, "I already told you, and you didn't listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you want to become his followers, too?"
|
27. He answered G611 them G846 , I have told G2036 you G5213 already G2235 , and G2532 ye did not G3756 hear G191 : wherefore G5101 would G2309 ye hear G191 it again G3825 ? will G2309 G3361 ye G5210 also G2532 be G1096 his G846 disciples G3101 ?
|
|
28. Then they insulted him and said, "You are his follower, but we are followers of Moses.
|
28. Then G3767 they reviled G3058 him G846 , and G2532 said G2036 , Thou G4771 art G1488 his G1565 disciple G3101 ; but G1161 we G2249 are G2070 Moses G3475 ' disciples G3101 .
|
|
29. We know that God spoke to Moses, but we don't even know where this man comes from."
|
29. We G2249 know G1492 that G3754 God G2316 spake G2980 unto Moses G3475 : as for G1161 this G5126 fellow, we know G1492 not G3756 from whence G4159 he is G2076 .
|
|
30. The man answered, "This is a very strange thing. You don't know where he comes from, and yet he opened my eyes.
|
30. The G3588 man G444 answered G611 and G2532 said G2036 unto them G846 , Why G1063 herein G1722 G5129 is G2076 a marvelous thing G2298 , that G3754 ye G5210 know G1492 not G3756 from whence G4159 he is G2076 , and G2532 yet he hath opened G455 mine G3450 eyes G3788 .
|
|
31. We all know that God does not listen to sinners, but he listens to anyone who worships and obeys him.
|
31. Now G1161 we know G1492 that G3754 God G2316 heareth G191 not G3756 sinners G268 : but G235 if G1437 any man G5100 be G5600 a worshiper of God G2318 , and G2532 doeth G4160 his G846 will G2307 , him G5127 he heareth G191 .
|
|
32. Nobody has ever heard of anyone giving sight to a man born blind.
|
32. Since the world began G1537 G165 was it not G3756 heard G191 that G3754 any man G5100 opened G455 the eyes G3788 of one that was born G1080 blind G5185 .
|
|
33. If this man were not from God, he could do nothing."
|
33. If G1508 this man G3778 were G2258 not G3756 of G3844 God G2316 , he could G1410 do G4160 nothing G3762 .
|
|
34. They answered, "You were born full of sin! Are you trying to teach us?" And they threw him out.
|
34. They answered G611 and G2532 said G2036 unto him G846 , Thou G4771 wast altogether G3650 born G1080 in G1722 sins G266 , and G2532 dost thou G4771 teach G1321 us G2248 ? And G2532 they cast G1544 him G846 out G1854 .
|
|
35. When Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, Jesus found him and said, "Do you believe in the Son of Man?"
|
35. Jesus G2424 heard G191 that G3754 they had cast G1544 him G846 out G1854 ; and G2532 when he had found G2147 him G846 , he said G2036 unto him G846 , Dost thou G4771 believe G4100 on G1519 the G3588 Son G5207 of God G2316 ?
|
|
36. He asked, "Who is the Son of Man, sir, so that I can believe in him?"
|
36. He G1565 answered G611 and G2532 said G2036 , Who G5101 is G2076 he, Lord G2962 , that G2443 I might believe G4100 on G1519 him G846 ?
|
|
37. Jesus said to him, "You have seen him. The Son of Man is the one talking with you."
|
37. And G1161 Jesus G2424 said G2036 unto him G846 , Thou hast both G2532 seen G3708 him G846 , and G2532 it is G2076 he G1565 that talketh G2980 with G3326 thee G4675 .
|
|
38. He said, "Lord, I believe!" Then the man worshiped Jesus.
|
38. And G1161 he G3588 said G5346 , Lord G2962 , I believe G4100 . And G2532 he worshiped G4352 him G846 .
|
|
39. Jesus said, "I came into this world so that the world could be judged. I came so that the blind would see and so that those who see will become blind."
|
39. And G2532 Jesus G2424 said G2036 , For G1519 judgment G2917 I G1473 am come G2064 into G1519 this G5126 world G2889 , that G2443 they which see G991 not G3361 might see G991 ; and G2532 that they which see G991 might be made G1096 blind G5185 .
|
|
40. Some of the Pharisees who were nearby heard Jesus say this and asked, "Are you saying we are blind, too?"
|
40. And G2532 some of G1537 the G3588 Pharisees G5330 which were G5607 with G3326 him G846 heard G191 these words G5023 and G2532 said G2036 unto him G846 , Are G2070 we G2249 G3361 blind G5185 also G2532 ?
|
|
41. Jesus said, "If you were blind, you would not be guilty of sin. But since you keep saying you see, your guilt remains."
|
41. Jesus G2424 said G2036 unto them G846 , If G1487 ye were G2258 blind G5185 , ye should have G2192 G302 no G3756 sin G266 : but G1161 now G3568 ye say G3004 , We see G991 ; therefore G3767 your G5216 sin G266 remaineth G3306 .
