1 Caminhando Jesus, viu um homem cego de nascença. 2 E os seus discípulos perguntaram: Mestre, quem pecou, este ou seus pais, para que nascesse cego? 3 Respondeu Jesus: Nem ele pecou, nem seus pais; mas foi para que se manifestem nele as obras de Deus. 4 É necessário que façamos as obras daquele que me enviou, enquanto é dia; a noite vem, quando ninguém pode trabalhar. 5 Enquanto estou no mundo, sou a luz do mundo. 6 Dito isso, cuspiu na terra e, tendo feito lodo com a saliva, aplicou-o aos olhos do cego, 7 dizendo-lhe: Vai, lava-te no tanque de Siloé (que quer dizer Enviado). Ele foi, lavou-se e voltou vendo. 8 Então, os vizinhos e os que dantes o conheciam de vista, como mendigo, perguntavam: Não é este o que estava assentado pedindo esmolas? 9 Uns diziam: É ele. Outros: Não, mas se parece com ele. Ele mesmo, porém, dizia: Sou eu. 10 Perguntaram-lhe, pois: Como te foram abertos os olhos? 11 Respondeu ele: O homem chamado Jesus fez lodo, untou-me os olhos e disse-me: Vai ao tanque de Siloé e lava-te. Então, fui, lavei-me e estou vendo. 12 Disseram-lhe, pois: Onde está ele? Respondeu: Não sei.

13 Levaram, pois, aos fariseus o que dantes fora cego. 14 E era sábado o dia em que Jesus fez o lodo e lhe abriu os olhos. 15 Então, os fariseus, por sua vez, lhe perguntaram como chegara a ver; ao que lhes respondeu: Aplicou lodo aos meus olhos, lavei-me e estou vendo. 16 Por isso, alguns dos fariseus diziam: Esse homem não é de Deus, porque não guarda o sábado. Diziam outros: Como pode um homem pecador fazer tamanhos sinais? E houve dissensão entre eles. 17 De novo, perguntaram ao cego: Que dizes tu a respeito dele, visto que te abriu os olhos? Que é profeta, respondeu ele.

18 Não acreditaram os judeus que ele fora cego e que agora via, enquanto não lhe chamaram os pais 19 e os interrogaram: É este o vosso filho, de quem dizeis que nasceu cego? Como, pois, vê agora? 20 Então, os pais responderam: Sabemos que este é nosso filho e que nasceu cego; 21 mas não sabemos como vê agora; ou quem lhe abriu os olhos também não sabemos. Perguntai a ele, idade tem; falará de si mesmo. 22 Isto disseram seus pais porque estavam com medo dos judeus; pois estes já haviam assentado que, se alguém confessasse ser Jesus o Cristo, fosse expulso da sinagoga. 23 Por isso, é que disseram os pais: Ele idade tem, interrogai-o.

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 Ele retrucou: Se é pecador, não sei; uma coisa sei: eu era cego e agora vejo. 26 Perguntaram-lhe, pois: Que te fez ele? como te abriu os olhos? 27 Ele lhes respondeu: Já vo-lo disse, e não atendestes; por que quereis ouvir outra vez? Porventura, quereis vós também tornar-vos seus discípulos? 28 Então, o injuriaram e lhe disseram: Discípulo dele és tu; mas nós somos discípulos de Moisés. 29 Sabemos que Deus falou a Moisés; mas este nem sabemos donde é. 30 Respondeu-lhes o homem: Nisto é de estranhar que vós não saibais donde ele é, e, contudo, me abriu os olhos. 31 Sabemos que Deus não atende a pecadores; mas, pelo contrário, se alguém teme a Deus e pratica a sua vontade, a este atende. 32 Desde que há mundo, jamais se ouviu que alguém tenha aberto os olhos a um cego de nascença. 33 Se este homem não fosse de Deus, nada poderia ter feito. 34 Mas eles retrucaram: Tu és nascido todo em pecado e nos ensinas a nós? E o expulsaram.

35 Ouvindo Jesus que o tinham expulsado, encontrando-o, lhe perguntou: Crês tu no Filho do Homem? 36 Ele respondeu e disse: Quem é, Senhor, para que eu nele creia? 37 E Jesus lhe disse: Já o tens visto, e é o que fala contigo. 38 Então, afirmou ele: Creio, Senhor; e o adorou. 39 Prosseguiu Jesus: Eu vim a este mundo para juízo, a fim de que os que não veem vejam, e os que veem se tornem cegos. 40 Alguns dentre os fariseus que estavam perto dele perguntaram-lhe: Acaso, também nós somos cegos? 41 Respondeu-lhes Jesus: Se fôsseis cegos, não teríeis pecado algum; mas, porque agora dizeis: Nós vemos, subsiste o vosso pecado.

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.
