1And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth. 2And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind? 3Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him. 4I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. 5As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world. 6When 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, 7And said unto 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 neighbours therefore, and they which before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged? 9Some said, This is he: others said, He is like him: but he said, I am he. 10Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened? 11He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight. 12Then said they unto him, Where is he? He said, I know not.
13¶ They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind. 14And it was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes. 15Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. He said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and do see. 16Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he keepeth not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them. 17They say unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is a prophet. 18But 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. 19And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then doth he now see? 20His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind: 21But by what means he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he shall speak for himself. 22These words spake 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. 23Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him. 24Then again called they the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner. 25He 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. 26Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eyes? 27He answered them, I have told you already, and ye did not hear: wherefore would ye hear it again? will ye also be his disciples? 28Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are Moses’ disciples. 29We know that God spake unto Moses: as for this fellow, we know not from whence he is. 30The man answered and said unto them, Why herein is a marvellous thing, that ye know not from whence he is, and yet he hath opened mine eyes. 31Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth. 32Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind. 33If this man were not of God, he could do nothing. 34They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out. 35Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God? 36He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him? 37And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee. 38And 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. 40And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also? 41Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.
医治盲人
1耶稣在路上看见一个生来失明的人。 2门徒问耶稣：“老师，这个人生下来便双目失明，是因为他犯了罪呢，还是他父母犯了罪呢？”
3耶稣说：“不是他犯了罪，也不是他父母犯了罪，而是要在他身上彰显上帝的作为。 4趁着白天，我们必须做差我来者的工作，黑夜一到，就没有人能工作了。 5我在世上的时候，是世界的光。”
6耶稣讲完后，便吐唾沫在地上，用唾沫和泥抹在那盲人的眼睛上， 7对他说：“到西罗亚池去洗洗！”西罗亚是“奉差遣”的意思。那盲人照着去做，回来的时候已经能看见了。
8他的邻居和从前见他讨饭的人说：“他不是那个常在这里讨饭的人吗？”
9有人说：“是他。”有人说：“不是他，只是长得像他。”
他自己说：“我就是那个人。”
10他们问：“你的眼睛是怎么好的？”
11他回答说：“有一位叫耶稣的人和泥抹我的眼睛，叫我到西罗亚池子去洗。我照着去做，眼睛就能看见了。”
12他们问：“那个人现在在哪里？”他说：“我不知道。”
盘问复明的盲人
13他们就把这个从前失明的人带到法利赛人那里。 14耶稣和泥开他眼睛的那天是安息日。 15法利赛人也查问他的眼睛是怎么复明的。盲人便对他们说：“祂把泥抹在我的眼睛上，我去一洗，眼睛就看见了。”
16有些法利赛人说：“那个人不是从上帝那里来的，因为祂不守安息日。”有些人却说：“如果祂是个罪人，又怎能行这样的神迹呢？”他们就争论起来。
17于是，他们又问那个盲人：“既然祂开了你的眼睛，你认为祂是什么人？”
他说：“祂是先知。”
18犹太人不相信他以前是瞎眼的，现在能看见了，便叫来他的父母， 19问他们：“这是你们的儿子吗？你们不是说他生来就瞎眼吗？怎么现在能看见了？”
20他父母回答说：“我们知道他是我们的儿子，生来双目失明。 21至于他现在怎么能看见了，我们就不知道了。是谁医好了他，我们也不知道。他现在已经长大成人，你们可以去问他，他自己可以回答。”
22他父母因为害怕那些犹太人，所以才这样说，因为那些犹太人早就商量好了，谁承认耶稣是基督，就把他赶出会堂。 23因此他父母才说他已经长大成人，叫他们去问他。
24法利赛人又把那个从前失明的人叫来，对他说：“你应该把荣耀归给上帝9:24 这是古时叫人在上帝面前起誓说实话的惯用语，参见约书亚记7:19。！我们知道那个人是罪人。”
25他说：“祂是不是罪人，我不知道；我只知道从前我是瞎眼的，现在能看见了。”
26他们就问他：“祂向你做了些什么？祂是怎样医好你眼睛的？”
27他回答说：“我已经告诉过你们了，你们不听，现在又问，难道你们也想做祂的门徒吗？”
28他们就骂他：“你才是祂的门徒！我们是摩西的门徒。 29我们知道上帝曾对摩西讲话，至于这个人，我们不知道祂是从哪里来的。”
30那人说：“祂开了我的眼睛，你们竟不知道祂从哪里来，真是奇怪。 31我们知道上帝不听罪人的祷告，只听那些敬拜祂、遵行祂旨意者的祷告。 32从创世以来，从未听过有人能把天生失明的人医好。 33如果这个人不是从上帝那里来的，就什么也不能做。”
34法利赛人斥责他：“你这生来就深陷罪中的家伙，居然敢教导我们！”于是把他赶了出去。
35耶稣听说了这事，后来祂找到这个人，对他说：“你信上帝的儿子吗？”
36他说：“先生，谁是上帝的儿子？我要信祂。”
37耶稣说：“你已经看见祂了，现在跟你说话的就是祂。”
38他说：“主啊！我信！”他就敬拜耶稣。
39耶稣说：“我为了审判来到这世界，使瞎眼的可以看见，使看得见的反成了瞎眼的。”
40有些跟祂在一起的法利赛人听了这句话，就问：“难道我们也瞎了眼吗？”
41耶稣说：“如果你们是瞎眼的，就没有罪了。但现在你们自称看得见，所以你们的罪还在。”
