1 And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?3 Jesus answered, Neither has this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night comes, when no man can work.5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.6 When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay,7 And said to him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing.8 The neighbors therefore, and they which before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?9 Some said, This is he: others said, He is like him: but he said, I am he.10 Therefore said they to him, How were your eyes opened?11 He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed my eyes, and said to me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight.12 Then said they to him, Where is he? He said, I know not.13 They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind.14 And it was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.15 Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. He said to them, He put clay on my eyes, and I washed, and do see.16 Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he keeps not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them.17 They say to the blind man again, What say you of him, that he has opened your eyes? He said, He is a prophet.18 But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight.19 And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who you say was born blind? how then does he now see?20 His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind:21 But by what means he now sees, we know not; or who has opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he shall speak for himself.22 These words spoke his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man did confess that he was Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.23 Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him.24 Then again called they the man that was blind, and said to him, Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner.25 He answered and said, Whether he be a sinner or no, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.26 Then said they to him again, What did he to you? how opened he your eyes?27 He answered them, I have told you already, and you did not hear: why would you hear it again? will you also be his disciples?28 Then they reviled him, and said, You are his disciple; but we are Moses'disciples.29 We know that God spoke to Moses: as for this fellow, we know not from where he is.30 The man answered and said to them, Why herein is a marvelous thing, that you know not from where he is, and yet he has opened my eyes.31 Now we know that God hears not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and does his will, him he hears.32 Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind.33 If this man were not of God, he could do nothing.34 They answered and said to him, You were altogether born in sins, and do you teach us? And they cast him out.35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said to him, Do you believe on the Son of God?36 He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him?37 And Jesus said to him, You have both seen him, and it is he that talks with you.38 And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.39 And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind.40 And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said to him, Are we blind also?41 Jesus said to them, If you were blind, you should have no sin: but now you say, We see; therefore your sin remains.

1 E passando Jesus, viu um homem cego de nascença.2 Perguntaram-lhe os seus discípulos: Rabi, quem pecou, este ou seus pais, para que nascesse cego?3 Respondeu Jesus: Nem ele pecou nem seus pais; mas foi para que nele se manifestem as obras de Deus.4 Importa que façamos as obras daquele que me enviou, enquanto é dia; vem a noite, quando ninguém pode trabalhar.5 Enquanto estou no mundo, sou a luz do mundo.6 Dito isto, cuspiu no chão e com a saliva fez lodo, e untou com lodo os olhos do cego,7 e disse-lhe: Vai, lava-te no tanque de Siloé {que significa Enviado}. E ele foi, lavou-se, e voltou vendo.8 Então os vizinhos e aqueles que antes o tinham visto, quando mendigo, perguntavam: Não é este o mesmo que se sentava a mendigar?9 Uns diziam: É ele. E outros: Não é, mas se parece com ele. Ele dizia: Sou eu.10 Perguntaram-lhe, pois: Como se te abriram os olhos?11 Respondeu ele: O homem que se chama Jesus fez lodo, untou-me os olhos, e disse-me: Vai a Siloé e lava-te. Fui, pois, lavei-me, e fiquei vendo.12 E perguntaram-lhe: Onde está ele? Respondeu: Não sei.13 Levaram aos fariseus o que fora cego.14 Ora, era sábado o dia em que Jesus fez o lodo e lhe abriu os olhos.15 Então os fariseus também se puseram a perguntar-lhe como recebera a vista. Respondeu-lhes ele: Pôs-me lodo sobre os olhos, lavei-me e vejo.16 Por isso alguns dos fariseus diziam: Este homem não é de Deus; pois não guarda o sábado. Diziam outros: Como pode um homem pecador fazer tais sinais? E havia dissensão entre eles.17 Tornaram, pois, a perguntar ao cego: Que dizes tu a respeito dele, visto que te abriu os olhos? E ele respondeu: É profeta.18 Os judeus, porém, não acreditaram que ele tivesse sido cego e recebido a vista, enquanto não chamaram os pais do que fora curado,19 e lhes perguntaram: É este o vosso filho, que dizeis ter nascido cego? Como, pois, vê agora?20 Responderam seus pais: Sabemos que este é o nosso filho, e que nasceu cego;21 mas como agora vê, não sabemos; ou quem lhe abriu os olhos, nós não sabemos; perguntai a ele mesmo; tem idade; ele falará por si mesmo.22 Isso disseram seus pais, porque temiam os judeus, porquanto já tinham estes combinado que se alguém confessasse ser Jesus o Cristo, fosse expulso da sinagoga.23 Por isso é que seus pais disseram: Tem idade, perguntai-lho a ele mesmo.24 Então chamaram pela segunda vez o homem que fora cego, e lhe disseram: Dá glória a Deus; nós sabemos que esse homem é pecador.25 Respondeu ele: Se é pecador, não sei; uma coisa sei: eu era cego, e agora vejo.26 Perguntaram-lhe pois: Que foi que te fez? Como te abriu os olhos?27 Respondeu-lhes: Já vo-lo disse, e não atendestes; para que o quereis tornar a ouvir? Acaso também vós quereis tornar-vos discípulos dele?28 Então o injuriaram, e disseram: Discípulo dele és tu; nós porém, somos discípulos de Moisés.29 Sabemos que Deus falou a Moisés; mas quanto a este, não sabemos donde é.30 Respondeu-lhes o homem: Nisto, pois, está a maravilha: não sabeis donde ele é, e entretanto ele me abriu os olhos;31 sabemos que Deus não ouve a pecadores; mas, se alguém for temente a Deus, e fizer a sua vontade, a esse ele ouve.32 Desde o princípio do mundo nunca se ouviu que alguém abrisse os olhos a um cego de nascença.33 Se este não fosse de Deus, nada poderia fazer.34 Replicaram-lhe eles: Tu nasceste todo em pecados, e vens nos ensinar a nós? E expulsaram-no.35 Soube Jesus que o haviam expulsado; e achando-o perguntou-lhe: Crês tu no Filho do homem?36 Respondeu ele: Quem é, senhor, para que nele creia?37 Disse-lhe Jesus: Já o viste, e é ele quem fala contigo.38 Disse o homem: Creio, Senhor! E o adorou.39 Prosseguiu então Jesus: Eu vim a este mundo para juízo, a fim de que os que não vêem vejam, e os que vêem se tornem cegos.40 Alguns fariseus que ali estavam com ele, ouvindo isso, perguntaram-lhe: Porventura somos nós também cegos?41 Respondeu-lhes Jesus: Se fosseis cegos, não teríeis pecado; mas como agora dizeis: Nós vemos, permanece o vosso pecado.
