1 Caminhando, viu Jesus um cego de nascença.
2 Os seus discípulos indagaram dele: Mestre, quem pecou, este homem ou seus pais, para que nascesse cego?
3 Jesus respondeu: Nem este pecou nem seus pais, mas é necessário que nele se manifestem as obras de Deus.
4 Enquanto for dia, cumpre-me terminar as obras daquele que me enviou. Virá a noite, na qual já ninguém pode trabalhar.
5 Por isso, enquanto estou no mundo, sou a luz do mundo.
6 Dito isso, cuspiu no chão, fez um pouco de lodo com a saliva e com o lodo ungiu os olhos do cego.
7 Depois lhe disse: Vai, lava-te na piscina de Siloé {esta palavra significa emissário}. O cego foi, lavou-se e voltou vendo.
8 Então os vizinhos e aqueles que antes o tinham visto mendigar perguntavam: Não é este aquele que, sentado, mendigava?
9 Respondiam alguns: É ele. Outros contestavam: De nenhum modo, é um parecido com ele. Ele, porém, dizia: Sou eu mesmo.
10 Perguntaram-lhe, então: Como te foram abertos os olhos?
11 Respondeu ele: Aquele homem que se chama Jesus fez lodo, ungiu-me os olhos e disse-me: Vai à piscina de Siloé e lava-te. Fui, lavei-me e vejo.
12 Interrogaram-no: Onde está esse homem? Respondeu: Não o sei.
13 Levaram então o que fora cego aos fariseus.
14 Ora, era sábado quando Jesus fez o lodo e lhe abriu os olhos.
15 Os fariseus indagaram dele novamente de que modo ficara vendo. Respondeu-lhes: Pôs-me lodo nos olhos, lavei-me e vejo.
16 Diziam alguns dos fariseus: Este homem não é o enviado de Deus, pois não guarda sábado. Outros replicavam: Como pode um pecador fazer tais prodígios? E havia desacordo entre eles.
17 Perguntaram ainda ao cego: Que dizes tu daquele que te abriu os olhos? É um profeta, respondeu ele.
18 Mas os judeus não quiseram admitir que aquele homem tivesse sido cego e que tivesse recobrado a vista, até que chamaram seus pais.
19 E os interrogaram: É este o vosso filho? Afirmais que ele nasceu cego? Pois como é que agora vê?
20 Seus pais responderam: Sabemos que este é o nosso filho e que nasceu cego.
21 Mas não sabemos como agora ficou vendo, nem quem lhe abriu os olhos. Perguntai-o a ele. Tem idade. Que ele mesmo explique.
22 Seus pais disseram isso porque temiam os judeus, pois os judeus tinham ameaçado expulsar da sinagoga todo aquele que reconhecesse Jesus como o Cristo.
23 Por isso é que seus pais responderam: Ele tem idade, perguntai-lho.
24 Tornaram a chamar o homem que fora cego, dizendo-lhe: Dá glória a Deus! Nós sabemos que este homem é pecador.
25 Disse-lhes ele: Se esse homem é pecador, não o sei... Sei apenas isto: sendo eu antes cego, agora vejo.
26 Perguntaram-lhe ainda uma vez: Que foi que ele te fez? Como te abriu os olhos?
27 Respondeu-lhes: Eu já vo-lo disse e não me destes ouvidos. Por que quereis tornar a ouvir? Quereis vós, porventura, tornar-vos também seus discípulos?...
28 Então eles o cobriram de injúrias e lhe disseram: Tu que és discípulo dele! Nós somos discípulos de Moisés.
29 Sabemos que Deus falou a Moisés, mas deste não sabemos de onde ele é.
30 Respondeu aquele homem: O que é de admirar em tudo isso é que não saibais de onde ele é, e entretanto ele me abriu os olhos.
31 Sabemos, porém, que Deus não ouve a pecadores, mas atende a quem lhe presta culto e faz a sua vontade.
32 Jamais se ouviu dizer que alguém tenha aberto os olhos a um cego de nascença.
33 Se esse homem não fosse de Deus, não poderia fazer nada.
34 Responderam-lhe eles: Tu nasceste todo em pecado e nos ensinas?... E expulsaram-no.
35 Jesus soube que o tinham expulsado e, havendo-o encontrado, perguntou-lhe: Crês no Filho do Homem?
36 Respondeu ele: Quem é ele, Senhor, para que eu creia nele?
37 Disse-lhe Jesus: Tu o vês, é o mesmo que fala contigo!
38 Creio, Senhor, disse ele. E, prostrando-se, o adorou.
39 Jesus então disse: Vim a este mundo para fazer uma discriminação: os que não vêem vejam, e os que vêem se tornem cegos.
40 Alguns dos fariseus, que estavam com ele, ouviram-no e perguntaram-lhe: Também nós somos, acaso, cegos?...
41 Respondeu-lhes Jesus: Se fôsseis cegos, não teríeis pecado, mas agora pretendeis ver, e o vosso pecado subsiste.
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.
