João 9 - Bíblia Online

Jesus, ao passar, viu um homem cego de nascença. 
Perguntaram-lhe seus discípulos: Mestre, quem pecou para que este homem nascesse cego, ele ou seus pais? 
Respondeu Jesus: Nem ele pecou nem seus pais, mas isto se deu para que as obras de Deus nele sejam manifestas. 
É necessário que façamos as obras do que me enviou, enquanto é dia; vem a noite, quando ninguém pode trabalhar. 
Estando eu no mundo, sou a luz do mundo. 
Tendo assim falado, cuspiu no chão e, fazendo lodo com o cuspo, aplicou-o aos olhos do cego, 
dizendo: Vai lavar-te no tanque de Siloé (que quer dizer, Enviado). Ele foi, lavou-se e voltou com vista. 
Então os vizinhos e os que dantes o conheciam de vista, como mendigo, perguntavam: Não é este o que se assentava para mendigar? 
É ele mesmo, respondiam uns; não é, mas é parecido com ele, diziam outros. Porém ele dizia: Sou eu mesmo. 
Perguntaram-lhe, pois: Como te foram abertos os olhos? 
Respondeu ele: Aquele homem chamado Jesus fez lodo, ungiu-me os olhos e disse-me: Vai a Siloé e lava-te; então fui, lavei-me e fiquei vendo. 
Eles lhe perguntaram: Onde está ele? Respondeu: Não sei. 
Levaram aos fariseus o que fora cego. 
Ora era sábado o dia em que Jesus fez lodo e lhe abriu os olhos. 
Então os fariseus por sua vez perguntaram-lhe como recebeu a vista. Ele respondeu: Aplicou lodo aos meus olhos, lavei-me e agora vejo. 
Por isso alguns dos fariseus diziam: Este homem não é de Deus, porque não guarda o sábado. Outros, porém, diziam: Como pode um homem pecador fazer tais milagres? Havia dissensão entre eles. 
Tornaram a perguntar ao cego: Que dizes tu a respeito dele, visto que te abriu os olhos? É profeta, respondeu ele. 
Mas os judeus não acreditaram que ele tivesse sido cego e que tivesse recebido a vista, enquanto não chamaram os pais dele, 
e os interrogaram: É este vosso filho, que vós dizeis ter nascido cego? como, pois, vê agora? 
Responderam seus pais: Sabemos que este é nosso filho e que nasceu cego; 
mas como agora vê, não sabemos; ou quem lhe abriu os olhos, nós não sabemos. Interrogai-o, já tem idade; ele mesmo falará por si. 
Isto disseram seus pais, porque tinham medo dos judeus; porquanto estes já tinham combinado que se alguém confessasse ser Jesus o Cristo, fosse expulso da sinagoga. 
Por isso disseram seus pais: Ele já tem idade, interrogai-o. 
Então chamaram pela segunda vez o homem que fora cego e lhe disseram: Dá glória a Deus; nós sabemos que este homem é pecador. 
Ele respondeu: Se é pecador, não sei; uma coisa sei: Eu era cego, e agora vejo. 
Perguntaram-lhe, pois: Que é o que te fez? como te abriu os olhos? 
Ele lhes respondeu: Já vo-lo disse, e não ouvistes; por que quereis ouvir outra vez? porventura quereis também vós tornar-vos seus discípulos? 
Injuriaram-no e disseram: Discípulo dele és tu; mas nós somos discípulos de Moisés. 
Nós sabemos que Deus falou a Moisés, mas este não sabemos donde ele é. 
Respondeu-lhes o homem: É maravilhoso que não saibais donde ele é; contudo ele me abriu os olhos. 
Sabemos que Deus não ouve a pecadores; mas se alguém temer a Deus e fizer a sua vontade, a este ele ouve. 
Desde que há mundo, nunca se ouviu que alguém abrisse os olhos a um cego de nascença. 
Se este homem não fosse de Deus, nada poderia fazer. 
Eles lhe replicaram: Tu nasceste todo em pecados, e tu nos estás ensinando? E lançaram-no fora. 
Soube Jesus que o haviam lançado fora e, encontrando-o, lhe perguntou: Crês tu no Filho do homem? 
Quem é ele, Senhor, para que eu creia nele? respondeu-lhe o homem. 
Disse-lhe Jesus: Já o viste, e é ele quem fala contigo. 
Ele disse: Creio, Senhor; e o adorou. 
Jesus prosseguiu: Eu vim a este mundo para um juízo, a fim de que os que não vêem, vejam; e os que vêem, se tornem cegos. 
Ouvindo isto alguns dos fariseus que estavam com ele, perguntaram-lhe: Porventura somos nós também cegos? 
Respondeu-lhes Jesus: Se fôsseis cegos, não teríeis pecado algum; mas agora dizeis: Nós vemos; fica subsistindo o vosso pecado. 

And when he went on his way, he saw a man blind from birth. 
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? 
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. 
While it is day we have to do the works of him who sent me: the night comes when no work may be done. 
As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world. 
Having said these words, he put earth, mixed with water from his mouth, on the man's eyes, 
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. 
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? 
Some said, It is he: others said, No, but he is like him. He said, I am he. 
So they said to him, How then were your eyes made open? 
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. 
And they said to him, Where is he? His answer was: I have no knowledge. 
They took him before the Pharisees--this man who had been blind. 
Now the day on which the earth was mixed by Jesus and the man's eyes were made open was the Sabbath. 
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. 
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. 
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. 
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, 
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? 
In answer his father and mother said, We are certain that this is our son and that he was blind at birth: 
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. 
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. 
That was the reason why they said, He is old enough; put the question to him. 
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. 
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. 
Then they said to him, What did he do to you? how did he give you the use of your eyes? 
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? 
And they were angry with him and said, You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses. 
We are certain that God gave his word to Moses: but as for this man, we have no knowledge where he comes from. 
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. 
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. 
In all the years nobody has ever before seen the eyes of a man blind from birth made open. 
If this man did not come from God he would be unable to do anything. 
Their answer was: You came to birth through sin; do you make yourself our teacher? And they put him out of the Synagogue. 
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? 
He said in answer, And who is he, Lord? Say, so that I may have faith in him. 
Jesus said to him, You have seen him; it is he who is talking to you. 
And he said, Lord, I have faith. And he gave him worship. 
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. 
These words came to the ears of the Pharisees who were with him and they said to him, Are we, then, blind? 
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.
