1 Eidamas pro šalį, Jėzus pamatė žmogų, aklą gimusį.
2 Jo mokiniai paklausė: "Rabi, kas nusidėjo,jis pats ar jo tėvai, kad gimė aklas?"
3 Jėzus atsakė: "Nei jis nusidėjo, nei jo tėvai, bet dėl to, kad jame apsireikštų Dievo darbai.
4 Man reikia dirbti darbus To, kuris mane siuntė, kol yra diena. Ateina naktis, kada niekas negalės dirbti.
5 Kol esu pasaulyje, esu pasaulio šviesa!"
6 Tai taręs, Jis spjovė žemėn, padarė purvo iš seilių, patepė juo neregio akis
7 ir tarė jam: "Eik ir nusiprausk Siloamo tvenkinyje". (Išvertus "Siloamas" reiškia: "Pasiųstasis".) Tas nuėjo, nusiplovė ir sugrįžo regintis.
8 Kaimynai ir tie, kurie anksčiau matydavo jį aklą, klausė: "Ar čia ne tas, kuris sėdėdavo elgetaudamas?"
9 Vieni sakė: "Tai jis". Kiti: "Ne, tik panašus į jį". O jis atsakė: "Tai aš".
10 Tada jie klausė jį: "Kaip atsivėrė tau akys?"
11 Jis atsakė: "Žmogus, vadinamas Jėzumi, padarė purvo, patepė juo mano akis ir pasakė: ‘Eik į Siloamo tvenkinį ir nusiprausk’. Aš nuėjau, nusiprausiau ir praregėjau".
12 Tada jie paklausė: "Kur Jis?" Šis atsakė: "Nežinau".
13 Jie nusivedė buvusį neregį pas fariziejus.
14 O toji diena, kai Jėzus padarė purvo ir atvėrė akis, buvo sabatas.
15 Fariziejai jį iš naujo paklausė, kaip jis praregėjęs. Tas jiems paaiškino: "Jis uždėjo man ant akių purvo, aš nusiprausiau, ir dabar regiu".
16 Kai kurie fariziejai kalbėjo: "Tas žmogus ne iš Dievo, nes nesilaiko sabato". O kiti sakė: "Kaip galėtų nuodėmingas žmogus daryti tokius ženklus?!" Ir jie tarp savęs nesutarė.
17 Tuomet jie vėl paklausė buvusį neregį: "O ką tu pasakysi apie žmogų, atvėrusį tau akis?" Šis atsakė: "Jis pranašas".
18 Bet žydai netikėjo, kad jis buvo aklas ir praregėjo, kol pašaukė praregėjusiojo tėvus
19 ir paklausė jų: "Ar šitas jūsų sūnus, kurį sakote gimus aklą? Tai kaip jis dabar regi?"
20 Jo tėvai jiems atsakė: "Mes žinome, kad jis mūsų sūnus ir kad jis gimė aklas.
21 O kaip jis praregėjo, mes nežinome, nei kas jam atvėrė akis, nežinome. Klauskite jį patį, jis suaugęs ir pats tegul kalba už save".
22 Jo tėvai taip kalbėjo, bijodami žydų. Nes žydai jau buvo nutarę: jei kas tik išpažintų Jėzų esant Kristų, turėtų būti pašalintas iš sinagogos.
23 Todėl jo tėvai pasakė: "Jis suaugęs, klauskite jį patį".
24 Tada jie antrą kartą pasišaukė buvusį neregį ir pasakė jam: "Šlovink Dievą! Mes žinome, kad Tas žmogus nusidėjėlis".
25 Jis atsiliepė: "Ar Jis nusidėjėlis, aš nežinau. Viena žinau: buvau aklas, o dabar regiu".
26 Jie vėl klausė: "Ką Jis tau darė? Kaip Jis tau atvėrė akis?"
27 Šis atsakė: "Aš jau sakiau jums, tik jūs neklausėte. Ar dar kartą norite išgirsti? Gal ir jūs norite tapti Jo mokiniais?"
28 Tada jie išplūdo jį ir pasakė: "Tu esi Jo mokinys, o mesMozės mokiniai.
29 Mes žinome, kad Mozei Dievas kalbėjo, o iš kur šitas, nežinome".
30 Žmogus jiems atsakė: "Tai tikrai nuostabu, kad nežinote, iš kur Jis. O juk Jis man atvėrė akis!
31 Žinome, kad Dievas neišklauso nusidėjėlių. Bet jei kas yra Dievo garbintojas ir vykdo Jo valiątą Jis išklauso.
32 Nuo amžių negirdėta, kad kas būtų atvėręs aklo gimusio akis!
33 Jei šitas nebūtų iš Dievo, Jis nieko negalėtų padaryti".
34 Jie atsakė jam: "Tu visas gimęs nuodėmėse ir dar mus mokai?!" Ir išvarė jį lauk.
35 Jėzus, išgirdęs, kad jie išvarė jį lauk, surado jį ir paklausė: "Ar tiki Dievo Sūnų?"
36 Šis atsakė: "O kas Jis, Viešpatie, kad Jį tikėčiau?"
37 Jėzus jam tarė: "Tu jau esi Jį matęs, ir dabar Jis su tavimi kalba".
38 Tada jis sušuko: "Tikiu, Viešpatie!", ir pagarbino Jį.
39 O Jėzus pasakė: "Aš atėjau į šį pasaulį daryti teismo,kad neregiai praregėtų, o regintieji apaktų".
40 Prie Jo esantys fariziejai, tai išgirdę, paklausė: "Tai gal ir mes akli?"
41 Jėzus jiems atsakė: "Jei būtumėte akli, neturėtumėte nuodėmės, bet dabar sakote: ‘Mes regime!’Todėl jūsų nuodėmė pasilieka".
1 And when he went on his way, he saw a man blind from birth.
2 And his disciples put a question to him, saying, Master, was it because of this man's sin, or the sin of his father and mother, that he has been blind from birth?
3 Jesus said in answer, It was not because of his sin, or because of his father's or mother's; it was so that the works of God might be seen openly in him.
4 While it is day we have to do the works of him who sent me: the night comes when no work may be done.
5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
6 Having said these words, he put earth, mixed with water from his mouth, on the man's eyes,
7 And said to him, Go and make yourself clean in the bath of Siloam (the sense of the name is, Sent). So he went away and, after washing, came back able to see.
8 Then the neighbours and others who had seen him before in the street, with his hand out for money, said, Is not this the man who got money from people?
9 Some said, It is he: others said, No, but he is like him. He said, I am he.
10 So they said to him, How then were your eyes made open?
11 His answer was: The man who is named Jesus put earth mixed with water on my eyes, and said to me, Go and make yourself clean in Siloam: so I went away and, after washing, am now able to see.
12 And they said to him, Where is he? His answer was: I have no knowledge.
13 They took him before the Pharisees--this man who had been blind.
14 Now the day on which the earth was mixed by Jesus and the man's eyes were made open was the Sabbath.
15 So the Pharisees put more questions to him about how his eyes had been made open. And he said to them, He put earth on my eyes, and I had a wash and am able to see.
16 Then some of the Pharisees said, That man has not come from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath. Others said, How is it possible for a sinner to do such signs? So there was a division among them.
17 Again they said to the blind man, What have you to say about him for opening your eyes? And he said, He is a prophet.
18 Now the Jews had no belief in the statement that he had been blind and was now able to see, till they sent for the father and mother of the man whose eyes had been made open,
19 And put the question to them, saying, Is this your son, of whom you say that he was blind at birth? how is it then that he is now able to see?
20 In answer his father and mother said, We are certain that this is our son and that he was blind at birth:
21 But how it is he is now able to see, or who made his eyes open, we are not able to say: put the question to him; he is old enough to give an answer for himself.
22 They said this because of their fear of the Jews: for the Jews had come to an agreement that if any man said that Jesus was the Christ he would be put out of the Synagogue.
23 That was the reason why they said, He is old enough; put the question to him.
24 So they sent a second time for the man who had been blind and they said to him, Give glory to God: it is clear to us that this man is a sinner.
25 He said in answer, I have no knowledge if he is a sinner or not, but one thing I am certain about; I was blind, and now I see.
26 Then they said to him, What did he do to you? how did he give you the use of your eyes?
27 His answer was: I have said it before, but your ears were shut: why would you have me say it again? is it your desire to become his disciples?
28 And they were angry with him and said, You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.
29 We are certain that God gave his word to Moses: but as for this man, we have no knowledge where he comes from.
30 The man said in answer, Why, here is a strange thing! You have no knowledge where he comes from though he gave me the use of my eyes.
31 We have knowledge that God does not give ear to sinners, but if any man is a worshipper of God and does his pleasure, to him God's ears are open.
32 In all the years nobody has ever before seen the eyes of a man blind from birth made open.
33 If this man did not come from God he would be unable to do anything.
34 Their answer was: You came to birth through sin; do you make yourself our teacher? And they put him out of the Synagogue.
35 It came to the ears of Jesus that they had put him out, and meeting him he said, Have you faith in the Son of man?
36 He said in answer, And who is he, Lord? Say, so that I may have faith in him.
37 Jesus said to him, You have seen him; it is he who is talking to you.
38 And he said, Lord, I have faith. And he gave him worship.
39 And Jesus said, I came into this world to be a judge, so that those who do not see may see, and those who see may become blind.
40 These words came to the ears of the Pharisees who were with him and they said to him, Are we, then, blind?
41 Jesus said to them, If you were blind you would have no sin: but now that you say, We see; your sin is there still.
