1 And as Jesus passed by, He saw a man who was blind from birth.

2 And His disciples asked Him, saying, Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?

3 Jesus answered, Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but that the works of God should be revealed in him.

4 It is necessary for Me to work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; the night is coming when no one is able to work.

5 As long as I am in the world, I am the Light of the world.

6 When He had said these things, He spat on the ground and made clay with the saliva; and He anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay.

7 And He said to him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam (which is translated, Sent). So he went and washed, and came back seeing.

8 Therefore the neighbors and those who previously had seen that he was blind said, Is not this he who sat and begged?

9 Some said, This is he. Others said, He is like him. He said, I am he.

10 Therefore they said to him, How were your eyes opened?

11 He answered and said, A Man called Jesus made clay and anointed my eyes and said to me, Go to the pool of Siloam and wash. So I went and washed, and I received sight.

12 Then they said to him, Where is He? He said, I do not know.

13 They brought him who formerly was blind to the Pharisees.

14 And it was a Sabbath when Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes.

15 Then the Pharisees also asked him again how he had received his sight. He said to them, He put clay on my eyes, and I washed, and I see.

16 Therefore some of the Pharisees said, This Man is not from God, because He does not keep the Sabbath. Others said, How can a man who is a sinner do such signs? And there was a division among them.

17 They said to the blind man again, What do you say about Him because He 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 who 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 do not know, or who opened his eyes we do not know. He is of age; ask him. He will speak for himself.

22 His parents said these things because they feared the Jews, for the Jews had agreed already that if anyone should confess that He was Christ, he would be expelled from the synagogue.

23 Therefore his parents said, He is of age; ask him.

24 So they again called the man who was blind, and said to him, Give God the glory. We know that this Man is a sinner.

25 He answered and said, Whether He is a sinner or not I do not know. One thing I know: that though I was blind, now I see.

26 Then they said to him again, What did He do to you? How did He open your eyes?

27 He answered them, I told you already, and you did not hear. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you not also want to become 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 do not know where He is from.

30 The man answered and said to them, Why, this is a marvelous thing, that you do not know where He is from; yet He has opened my eyes!

31 Now we know that God does not hear sinners; but if anyone reveres God and does His will, He hears him.

32 Since the world began it has never been heard that anyone opened the eyes of one who was born blind.

33 If this Man were not from God, He would not be able to do anything.

34 They answered and said to him, You were born completely in sins, and do you teach us? And they drove him out.

35 Jesus heard that they had driven him out; and when He had found him, He said to him, Do you believe into the Son of God?

36 He answered and said, Who is He, Lord, that I may believe into Him?

37 And Jesus said to him, You have both seen Him and it is He who is talking with you.

38 And he said, Lord, I believe! And he did homage to Him.

39 And Jesus said, For judgment I have come into this world, that those who do not see may see, and that those who see may become blind.

40 Then some of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these words, and said to Him, Are we blind also?

41 Jesus said to them, If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say, We see. Therefore your sin remains.

1 E, PASSANDO Jesus, viu um homem cego de nascença. 2 E os seus discípulos lhe perguntaram, dizendo: Rabi, quem pecou, este ou seus pais, para que nascesse cego? 3 Jesus respondeu: Nem ele pecou nem seus pais; mas foi assim para que se manifestem nele as obras de Deus. 4 Convém que eu faça 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 Tendo dito isto, cuspiu na terra, e com a saliva fez lodo, e untou com o lodo os olhos do cego. 7 E disse-lhe: Vai, lava-te no tanque de Siloé (que significa o Enviado). Foi pois, e lavou-se, e voltou vendo. 8 Então os vizinhos, e aqueles que dantes tinham visto que era cego, diziam: Não é este aquele que estava assentado e mendigava? 9 Uns diziam: É este. E outros: Parece-se com ele. Ele dizia: Sou eu. 10 Diziam-lhe pois: Como se te abriram os olhos? 11 Ele respondeu, e disse: O homem, chamado Jesus, fez lodo, e untou-me os olhos, e disse-me: Vai ao tanque de Siloé, e lava-te. Então fui, e lavei-me, e vi. 12 Disseram-lhe pois: Onde está ele? Respondeu: Não sei. 13 Levaram pois aos fariseus o que dantes era cego. 14 E era sábado, quando Jesus fez o lodo e lhe abriu os olhos. 15 Tornaram pois também os fariseus a perguntar-lhe como vira, e ele lhes disse: Pôs-me lodo sobre os olhos, lavei-me, e vejo. 16 Então 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 dizer ao cego: Tu que dizes daquele que te abriu os olhos? E ele respondeu: Que é profeta. 18 Os judeus, porém, não creram que ele tivesse sido cego, e que agora visse, enquanto não chamaram os pais do que agora via. 19 E perguntaram-lhes, dizendo: É este o vosso filho, que vós dizeis ter nascido cego? Como pois vê agora? 20 Seus pais lhes responderam, e disseram: Sabemos que este é nosso filho, e que nasceu cego; 21 Mas como agora vê, não sabemos; ou quem lhe tenha aberto os olhos, não sabemos: tem idade, perguntai-lho a ele mesmo; e ele falará por si mesmo. 22 Seus pais disseram isto, porque temiam os judeus. Porquanto já os judeus tinham resolvido que, se alguém confessasse ser ele o Cristo, fosse expulso da sinagoga. 23 Por isso é que seus pais disseram: Tem idade, perguntai-lho a ele mesmo. 24 Chamaram pois pela segunda vez o homem que tinha sido cego, e disseram-lhe: Dá glória a Deus; nós sabemos que esse homem é pecador. 25 Respondeu ele pois, e disse: Se é pecador, não sei: uma coisa sei, e é que, havendo eu sido cego, agora vejo. 26 E tornaram a dizer-lhe: Que te fez ele? Como te abriu os olhos? 27 Respondeu-lhes: Já vo-lo disse, e não ouvistes; para que o quereis tornar a ouvir? Quereis vós porventura fazer-vos também seus discípulos? 28 Então o injuriaram, e disseram: Discípulo dele sejas tu: nós, porém, somos discípulos de Moisés. 29 Nós bem sabemos que Deus falou a Moisés, mas este não sabemos donde é. 30 O homem respondeu, e disse-lhes: Nisto pois está a maravilha, que vós não saibais donde ele é, e me abrisse os olhos; 31 Ora nós sabemos que Deus não ouve a pecadores; mas, se alguém é temente a Deus, e faz a sua vontade, a esse 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 Responderam eles, e disseram-lhe: Tu és nascido todo em pecados, e nos ensinas a nós? E expulsaram-no. 35 Jesus ouviu que o tinham expulsado, e, encontrando-o, disse-lhe: Crês tu no Filho de Deus? 36 Ele respondeu, e disse: Quem é ele, Senhor, para que nele creia? 37 E Jesus lhe disse: Tu já o tens visto, e é aquele que fala contigo. 38 Ele disse: Creio, Senhor. E o adorou. 39 E disse-lhe Jesus: Eu vim a este mundo para juízo, a fim de que os que não veem vejam, e os que veem sejam cegos. 40 Aqueles dos fariseus, que estavam com ele, ouvindo isto, disseram-lhe: Também nós somos cegos? 41 Disse-lhes Jesus: Se fôsseis cegos, não teríeis pecado; mas como agora dizeis: Vemos; por isso o vosso pecado permanece.
