1 Ao passar, Jesus viu um cego de nascença.
2 Seus discípulos lhe perguntaram: "Mestre, quem pecou: este homem ou seus pais, para que ele nascesse cego? "
3 Disse Jesus: "Nem ele nem seus pais pecaram, mas isto aconteceu para que a obra de Deus se manifestasse na vida dele.
4 Enquanto é dia, precisamos realizar a obra daquele que me enviou. A noite se aproxima, quando ninguém pode trabalhar.
5 Enquanto estou no mundo, sou a luz do mundo".
6 Tendo dito isso, ele cuspiu no chão, misturou terra com saliva e aplicou-a aos olhos do homem.
7 Então lhe disse: "Vá lavar-se no tanque de Siloé" ( que significa Enviado ). O homem foi, lavou-se e voltou vendo.
8 Seus vizinhos e os que anteriormente o tinham visto mendigando perguntaram: "Não é este o mesmo homem que costumava ficar sentado, mendigando? "
9 Alguns afirmavam que era ele. Outros diziam: "Não, apenas se parece com ele". Mas ele próprio insistia: "Sou eu mesmo".
10 "Então, como foram abertos os seus olhos? ", interrogaram-no eles.
11 Ele respondeu: "O homem chamado Jesus misturou terra com saliva, colocou-a nos meus olhos e me disse que fosse lavar-me em Siloé. Fui, lavei-me, e agora vejo".
12 Eles lhe perguntaram: "Onde está esse homem? " "Não sei", disse ele.
13 Levaram aos fariseus o homem que fora cego.
14 Era sábado o dia em que Jesus havia misturado terra com saliva e aberto os olhos daquele homem.
15 Então os fariseus também lhe perguntaram como ele recebera a visão. O homem respondeu: "Ele colocou uma mistura de terra e saliva em meus olhos, eu me lavei e agora vejo".
16 Alguns dos fariseus disseram: "Esse homem não é de Deus, pois não guarda o sábado". Mas outros perguntavam: "Como pode um pecador fazer tais sinais miraculosos? " E houve divisão entre eles.
17 Tornaram, pois, a perguntar ao cego: "Que diz você a respeito dele? Foram os seus olhos que ele abriu". O homem respondeu: "Ele é um profeta".
18 Os judeus não acreditaram que ele fora cego e havia sido curado enquanto não mandaram buscar os seus pais.
19 Então perguntaram: "É este o seu filho, o qual vocês dizem que nasceu cego? Como ele pode ver agora? "
20 Responderam os pais: "Sabemos que ele é nosso filho e que nasceu cego.
21 Mas não sabemos como ele pode ver agora ou quem lhe abriu os olhos. Perguntem a ele. Idade ele tem; falará por si mesmo".
22 Seus pais disseram isso porque tinham medo dos judeus, pois estes já haviam decidido que, se alguém confessasse que Jesus era o Cristo, seria expulso da sinagoga.
23 Foi por isso que seus pais disseram: "Idade ele tem; perguntem a ele".
24 Pela segunda vez, chamaram o homem que fora cego e lhe disseram: "Para a glória de Deus, diga a verdade. Sabemos que esse homem é pecador".
25 Ele respondeu: "Não sei se ele é pecador ou não. Uma coisa sei: eu era cego e agora vejo! "
26 Então lhe perguntaram: "O que ele lhe fez? Como lhe abriu os olhos? "
27 Ele respondeu: "Eu já lhes disse, e vocês não me deram ouvidos. Por que querem ouvir outra vez? Acaso vocês também querem ser discípulos dele? "
28 Então o insultaram e disseram: "Discípulo dele é você! Nós somos discípulos de Moisés!
29 Sabemos que Deus falou a Moisés, mas, quanto a esse, nem sabemos de onde ele vem".
30 O homem respondeu: "Ora, isso é extraordinário! Vocês não sabem de onde ele vem, contudo ele me abriu os olhos.
31 Sabemos que Deus não ouve a pecadores, mas ouve ao homem que o teme e pratica a sua vontade.
32 "Ninguém jamais ouviu que os olhos de um cego de nascença tivessem sido abertos.
33 Se esse homem não fosse de Deus, não poderia fazer coisa alguma".
34 Diante disso, eles responderam: "Você nasceu cheio de pecado; como tem a ousadia de nos ensinar? " E o expulsaram.
35 Jesus ouviu que o haviam expulsado, e, ao encontrá-lo, disse: "Você crê no Filho do homem? "
36 Perguntou o homem: "Quem é ele, Senhor, para que eu nele creia? "
37 Disse Jesus: "Você já o tem visto. É aquele que está falando com você".
38 Então o homem disse: "Senhor, eu creio". E o adorou.
39 Disse Jesus: "Eu vim a este mundo para julgamento, a fim de que os cegos vejam e os que vêem se tornem cegos".
40 Alguns fariseus que estavam com ele ouviram-no dizer isso e perguntaram: "Acaso nós também somos cegos? "
41 Disse Jesus: "Se vocês fossem cegos, não seriam culpados de pecado; mas agora que dizem que podem ver, a culpa de vocês permanece".
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.
