1 Jesus, ao passar, viu um homem cego de nascença.

2 Perguntaram-lhe seus discípulos: Mestre, quem pecou para que este homem nascesse cego, ele ou seus pais?

3 Respondeu Jesus: Nem ele pecou nem seus pais, mas isto se deu para que as obras de Deus nele sejam manifestas.

4 É necessário que façamos as obras do que me enviou, enquanto é dia; vem a noite, quando ninguém pode trabalhar.

5 Estando eu no mundo, sou a luz do mundo.

6 Tendo assim falado, cuspiu no chão e, fazendo lodo com o cuspo, aplicou-o aos olhos do cego,

7 dizendo: Vai lavar-te no tanque de Siloé (que quer dizer, Enviado). Ele foi, lavou-se e voltou com vista.

8 Então os vizinhos e os que dantes o conheciam de vista, como mendigo, perguntavam: Não é este o que se assentava para mendigar?

9 É ele mesmo, respondiam uns; não é, mas é parecido com ele, diziam outros. Porém ele dizia: Sou eu mesmo.

10 Perguntaram-lhe, pois: Como te foram abertos os olhos?

11 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.

12 Eles lhe perguntaram: Onde está ele? Respondeu: Não sei.

13 Levaram aos fariseus o que fora cego.

14 Ora era sábado o dia em que Jesus fez lodo e lhe abriu os olhos.

15 Então os fariseus por sua vez perguntaram-lhe como recebeu a vista. Ele respondeu: Aplicou lodo aos meus olhos, lavei-me e agora vejo.

16 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.

17 Tornaram a perguntar ao cego: Que dizes tu a respeito dele, visto que te abriu os olhos? É profeta, respondeu ele.

18 Mas os judeus não acreditaram que ele tivesse sido cego e que tivesse recebido a vista, enquanto não chamaram os pais dele,

19 e os interrogaram: É este vosso filho, que vós dizeis ter nascido cego? como, pois, vê agora?

20 Responderam seus pais: Sabemos que este é nosso filho e que nasceu cego;

21 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.

22 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.

23 Por isso disseram seus pais: Ele já tem idade, interrogai-o.

24 Então chamaram pela segunda vez o homem que fora cego e lhe disseram: Dá glória a Deus; nós sabemos que este homem é pecador.

25 Ele respondeu: Se é pecador, não sei; uma coisa sei: Eu era cego, e agora vejo.

26 Perguntaram-lhe, pois: Que é o que te fez? como te abriu os olhos?

27 Ele lhes respondeu: Já vo-lo disse, e não ouvistes; por que quereis ouvir outra vez? porventura quereis também vós tornar-vos seus discípulos?

28 Injuriaram-no e disseram: Discípulo dele és tu; mas nós somos discípulos de Moisés.

29 Nós sabemos que Deus falou a Moisés, mas este não sabemos donde ele é.

30 Respondeu-lhes o homem: É maravilhoso que não saibais donde ele é; contudo ele me abriu os olhos.

31 Sabemos que Deus não ouve a pecadores; mas se alguém temer a Deus e fizer a sua vontade, a este ele ouve.

32 Desde que há mundo, nunca se ouviu que alguém abrisse os olhos a um cego de nascença.

33 Se este homem não fosse de Deus, nada poderia fazer.

34 Eles lhe replicaram: Tu nasceste todo em pecados, e tu nos estás ensinando? E lançaram-no fora.

35 Soube Jesus que o haviam lançado fora e, encontrando-o, lhe perguntou: Crês tu no Filho do homem?

36 Quem é ele, Senhor, para que eu creia nele? respondeu-lhe o homem.

37 Disse-lhe Jesus: Já o viste, e é ele quem fala contigo.

38 Ele disse: Creio, Senhor; e o adorou.

39 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.

40 Ouvindo isto alguns dos fariseus que estavam com ele, perguntaram-lhe: Porventura somos nós também cegos?

41 Respondeu-lhes Jesus: Se fôsseis cegos, não teríeis pecado algum; mas agora dizeis: Nós vemos; fica subsistindo o vosso pecado.

1 And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth. 2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind? 3 Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him. 4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. 5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world. 6 When 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, 7 And 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? 9 Some said, This is he: others said, He is like him: but he said, I am he. 10 Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened? 11 He 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. 12 Then said they unto him, Where is he? He said, I know not.

13 They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind. 14 And it was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes. 15 Then 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. 16 Therefore 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. 17 They say unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thine 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 that had received his sight. 19 And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then doth 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 seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he shall speak for himself. 22 These 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. 23 Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him. 24 Then again called they the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner. 25 He 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. 26 Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eyes? 27 He answered them, I have told you already, and ye did not hear: wherefore would ye hear it again? will ye also be his disciples? 28 Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are Moses’ disciples. 29 We know that God spake unto Moses: as for this fellow, we know not from whence he is. 30 The 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. 31 Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth. 32 Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind. 33 If this man were not of God, he could do nothing. 34 They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out. 35 Jesus 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? 36 He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him? 37 And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee. 38 And 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. 40 And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also? 41 Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.
