1 And as he passed by, he saw a man blind from his birth. 2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Rabbi, who sinned, this man, or his parents, that he should be born blind? 3 Jesus answered, Neither did this man sin, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him. 4 We must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. 5 When 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 anointed his eyes with the clay, 7 and said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam (which is by interpretation, Sent). He went away therefore, and washed, and came seeing. 8 The neighbors therefore, and they that saw him aforetime, that he was a beggar, said, Is not this he that sat and begged? 9 Others said, It is he: others said, No, but he is like him. He said, I am he. 10 They said therefore unto him, How then were thine eyes opened? 11 He answered, The man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to Siloam, and wash: so I went away and washed, and I received sight. 12 And they said unto him, Where is he? He saith, I know not.

13 They bring to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind. 14 Now it was the sabbath on the day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes. 15 Again therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he received his sight. And he said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and I see. 16 Some therefore of the Pharisees said, This man is not from God, because he keepeth not the sabbath. But others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such signs? And there was a division among them. 17 They say therefore unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, in that he opened thine eyes? And he said, He is a prophet. 18 The Jews therefore did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and had received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight, 19 and asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then doth he now see? 20 His parents answered and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind: 21 but how he now seeth, we know not; or who opened his eyes, we know not: ask him; he is of age; he shall speak for himself. 22 These things said his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man should confess him to be Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue. 23 Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him. 24 So they called a second time the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give glory to God: we know that this man is a sinner. 25 He therefore answered, Whether he is a sinner, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see. 26 They said therefore unto him, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eyes? 27 He answered them, I told you even now, and ye did not hear; wherefore would ye hear it again? would ye also become his disciples? 28 And they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are disciples of Moses. 29 We know that God hath spoken unto Moses: but as for this man, we know not whence he is. 30 The man answered and said unto them, Why, herein is the marvel, that ye know not whence he is, and yet he opened mine eyes. 31 We know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and do his will, him he heareth. 32 Since the world began it was never heard that any one opened the eyes of a man born blind. 33 If this man were not from God, he could do nothing. 34 They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.

35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and finding him, he said, Dost thou believe on the Son of God? 36 He answered and said, And who is he, Lord, that I may believe on him? 37 Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and he it is that speaketh with thee. 38 And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him. 39 And Jesus said, For judgment came I into this world, that they that see not may see; and that they that see may become blind. 40 Those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and said unto him, Are we also blind? 41 Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye would have no sin: but now ye say, We see: your sin remaineth.

1 Ja mööda minnes Ta nägi inimest, kes sündimisest saadik oli olnud pime.

2 Ja Tema jüngrid küsisid Temalt: „Rabi, kes on pattu teinud, kas tema või ta vanemad, et ta on sündinud pimedana?"

3 Jeesus vastas: „Ei ole tema pattu teinud ega ta vanemad, vaid et Jumala teod saaksid temas avalikuks.

4 Meie peame tegema Selle tegusid, Kes Mind on läkitanud, niikaua kui päeva on; öö tuleb, mil ükski ei või midagi teha!

5 Niikaua kui Ma olen maailmas, olen Ma maailma valgus!"

6 Kui Ta seda oli ütelnud, sülitas Ta maha ja tegi süljest muda ning võidis selle mudaga tema silmad.

7 ja ütles talle: „Mine pese silmi Siiloa tiigis!" - Siiloa tähendab „Läkitatu". - Siis ta läks sinna ja pesi, ja tuli nägijana tagasi.

8 Aga naabrid ja kes teda varemini olid näinud kerjuse olevat, ütlesid: „Eks see ole sama, kes istus ja kerjas?"

9 Ūhed ütlesid: „See on sama!" Aga teised: „Ei ole, vaid ta on tema sarnane!" Tema ise ütles: „Mina olen see!"

10 Siis nad küsisid temalt: „Kuidas siis sinu silmad avati?"

11 Tema vastas: „Inimene, Keda kutsutakse Jeesuseks, tegi muda ja võidis sellega mu silmi ja ütles mulle: Mine Siiloa tiigi ääre ja pese silmi! Aga kui ma sinna läksin ja pesin, sain ma nägijaks!"

12 Siis ütlesid nad temale: „Kus Ta on?" Tema ütles: „Ei mina tea!"

13 Siis nad viisid tema, kes enne oli pime olnud, variseride juure.

14 Aga see oli hingamispäev, kui Jeesus tegi muda ja avas ta silmad.

15 Siis küsisid variseridki taas temalt, kuidas ta oli nägijaks saanud. Aga tema ütles neile: „Ta pani muda mu silmadele ja, ma pesin näo ning sain nägijaks!"

16 Siis ütlesid mõned variseridest: „See inimene ei ole Jumalast, sest ta ei pea hingamispäeva!" Teised ütlesid: „Kuidas võib patune inimene teha niisuguseid tunnustähti?" Ja nende seas oli lahkmeel.

17 Nüüd nad ütlesid taas pimedale: „Sina, mis sina ütled Temast, et Ta su silmad avas?" Tema ütles: „Ta on prohvet!"

18 Aga juudid ei uskunud, et ta oli olnud pime ja oli saanud nägijaks, kuni nad kutsusid nägijaks-saanu vanemad

19 ja küsisid neilt ning ütlesid: „Kas see on teie poeg, kelle te ütlete pimedana sündinud olevat? Kuidas ta siis nüüd näeb?"

20 Ta vanemad kostsid neile ning ütlesid: „Me teame, et see on meie poeg ja et ta sündis pimedana.

21 Aga kuidas ta nüüd näeb, seda me ei tea; või kes ta silmad avas, seda me ei tea. Ta on küllalt vana, küsige temalt eneselt, küllap ta ise kostab enese eest!"

22 Seda ütlesid ta vanemad, sest nad kartsid juute; sest juudid olid juba isekeskis võtnud nõuks, et kui keegi peaks Teda tunnistama Kristuseks, siis see lükatakse kogudusest välja.

23 Sellepärast ütlesid ta vanemad: „Ta on küllalt vana, küsige temalt eneselt!"

24 Siis nad kutsusid teist korda inimese, kes oli pime olnud, ja ütlesid temale: „Anna Jumalale au! Me teame, et See Inimene on patune!"

25 Tema vastas nüüd: „Kas Ta on patune, seda ma ei tea; üht ma tean, et olin pime ja nüüd näen!"

26 Nad küsisid nüüd temalt: „Mis Ta tegi sulle? Kuidas Ta su silmad avas?"

27 Ta vastas neile: „Ma juba ütlesin teile, aga te ei võtnud kuulda. Miks te jälle tahate kuulda? Või tahate teiegi hakata Tema jüngreiks?"

28 Siis nad hakkasid teda sõimama ja ütlesid: „Sina oled Tema jünger, meie aga oleme Moosese jüngrid!

29 Me teame, et Jumal on rääkinud Moosesega, aga kust See Inimene on, seda me ei tea!"

30 Mees kostis ning ütles neile: „See ongi imelik, et te ei tea, kust Ta on, ja Tema avas mu silmad!

31 Me ju teame, et Jumal ei kuule patuseid, vaid kui keegi on jumalakartlik ja teeb Tema tahtmist, siis seda Ta kuuleb.

32 Maailma algusest ei ole kuuldud, et keegi on avanud sündinud pimeda silmad.

33 Kui Ta ei oleks Jumalast, siis Ta ei võiks midagi teha!"

34 Nad kostsid ning ütlesid talle: „Sina oled koguni pattudes sündinud ja sina õpetad meid?" Ja nad tõukasid ta välja.

35 Jeesus sai kuulda, et nad olid ta välja tõuganud; ja kui Ta tema leidis, ütles Ta: „Kas sa usud Inimese Pojasse?"

36 Tema vastas ja ütles: „Issand, Kes See on, et võiksin uskuda Temasse?"

37 Jeesus ütles temale: „Sa oled ju Teda näinud ja See on Tema, Kes sinuga räägib!"

38 Aga tema ütles: „Issand, ma usun!" Ja ta kummardas Teda.

39 Ja Jeesus ütles: „Mina olen tulnud kohtu mõistmiseks sellesse maailma, et need, kes ei näe, saaksid nägijaks, ja kes näevad, saaksid pimedaks!"

40 Ja mõned variseridest, kes olid Tema juures, kuulsid seda ja ütlesid: „Kas meiegi oleme pimedad?"

41 Jeesus ütles neile: „Kui te oleksite pimedad, ei oleks teil pattu; aga et te nüüd ütlete: Me näeme! siis jääb teie patt teile!
