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!

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.
