1 As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth. 2 His disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?"

3 Jesus answered, "This man didn’t sin, nor did his parents, but that the works of God might be revealed in him. 4 I must work the works of him who sent me while it is day. The night is coming, when no one can work. 5 While I am in the world, I am the light of the world." 6 When he had said this, he spat on the ground, made mud with the saliva, anointed the blind man’s eyes with the mud, 7 and said to him, "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam" (which means "Sent"). So he went away, washed, and came back seeing.

8 Therefore the neighbors and those who saw that he was blind before said, "Isn’t this he who sat and begged?" 9 Others were saying, "It is he." Still others were saying, "He looks like him."

He said, "I am he."

10 They therefore were asking him, "How were your eyes opened?"

11 He answered, "A man called Jesus made mud, anointed my eyes, and said to me, ‘Go to the pool of Siloam and wash.’ So I went away and washed, and I received sight."

12 Then they asked him, "Where is he?"

He said, "I don’t know."

13 They brought him who had been blind to the Pharisees. 14 It was a Sabbath when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes. 15 Again therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he received his sight. He said to them, "He put mud on my eyes, I washed, and I see."

16 Some therefore of the Pharisees said, "This man is not from God, because he doesn’t keep the Sabbath."

Others said, "How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?" So there was division among them.

17 Therefore they asked the blind man again, "What do you say about him, because he opened your eyes?"

He said, "He is a prophet."

18 The Jews therefore didn’t believe concerning him, that he had been blind and had received his sight, until they called the parents of him who had received his sight, 19 and asked them, "Is this your son, whom you say was born blind? How then does he now see?"

20 His parents answered them, "We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind; 21 but how he now sees, we don’t know; or who opened his eyes, we don’t know. He is of age. Ask him. He will speak for himself." 22 His parents said these things because they feared the Jews; for the Jews had already agreed that if any man would confess him as Christ, he would be put out of the synagogue. 23 Therefore his parents said, "He is of age. Ask him."

24 So they called the man who was blind a second time, and said to him, "Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner."

25 He therefore answered, "I don’t know if he is a sinner. One thing I do know: that though I was blind, now I see."

26 They said to him again, "What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?"

27 He answered them, "I told you already, and you didn’t listen. Why do you want to hear it again? You don’t also want to become his disciples, do you?"

28 They insulted him and said, "You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses. 29 We know that God has spoken to Moses. But as for this man, we don’t know where he comes from."

30 The man answered them, "How amazing! You don’t know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes. 31 We know that God doesn’t listen to sinners, but if anyone is a worshiper of God and does his will, he listens to him. 32 Since the world began it has never been heard of that anyone opened the eyes of someone born blind. 33 If this man were not from God, he could do nothing."

34 They answered him, "You were altogether born in sins, and do you teach us?" Then they threw him out.

35 Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and finding him, he said, "Do you believe in the Son of God?"

36 He answered, "Who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him?"

37 Jesus said to him, "You have both seen him, and it is he who speaks with you."

38 He said, "Lord, I believe!" and he worshiped him.

39 Jesus said, "I came into this world for judgment, that those who don’t see may see; and that those who see may become blind."

40 Those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and said to him, "Are we also blind?"

41 Jesus said to them, "If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say, ‘We see.’ Therefore your sin remains.

1 E passando Jesus, viu um homem cego de nascença.

2 Perguntaram-lhe os seus discípulos: Rabi, quem pecou, este ou seus pais, para que nascesse cego?

3 Respondeu Jesus: Nem ele pecou nem seus pais; mas foi para que nele se manifestem as obras de Deus.

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

5 Enquanto estou no mundo, sou a luz do mundo.

6 Dito isto, cuspiu no chão e com a saliva fez lodo, e untou com lodo os olhos do cego,

7 e disse-lhe: Vai, lava-te no tanque de Siloé {que significa Enviado}. E ele foi, lavou-se, e voltou vendo.

8 Então os vizinhos e aqueles que antes o tinham visto, quando mendigo, perguntavam: Não é este o mesmo que se sentava a mendigar?

9 Uns diziam: É ele. E outros: Não é, mas se parece com ele. Ele dizia: Sou eu.

10 Perguntaram-lhe, pois: Como se te abriram os olhos?

11 Respondeu ele: O homem que se chama Jesus fez lodo, untou-me os olhos, e disse-me: Vai a Siloé e lava-te. Fui, pois, lavei-me, e fiquei vendo.

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

13 Levaram aos fariseus o que fora cego.

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

15 Então os fariseus também se puseram a perguntar-lhe como recebera a vista. Respondeu-lhes ele: Pôs-me lodo sobre os olhos, lavei-me e vejo.

16 Por isso alguns dos fariseus diziam: Este homem não é de Deus; pois não guarda o sábado. Diziam outros: Como pode um homem pecador fazer tais sinais? E havia dissensão entre eles.

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

18 Os judeus, porém, não acreditaram que ele tivesse sido cego e recebido a vista, enquanto não chamaram os pais do que fora curado,

19 e lhes perguntaram: É este o vosso filho, que dizeis ter nascido cego? Como, pois, vê agora?

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

21 mas como agora vê, não sabemos; ou quem lhe abriu os olhos, nós não sabemos; perguntai a ele mesmo; tem idade; ele falará por si mesmo.

22 Isso disseram seus pais, porque temiam os judeus, porquanto já tinham estes combinado que se alguém confessasse ser Jesus o Cristo, fosse expulso da sinagoga.

23 Por isso é que seus pais disseram: Tem idade, perguntai-lho a ele mesmo.

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

25 Respondeu ele: Se é pecador, não sei; uma coisa sei: eu era cego, e agora vejo.

26 Perguntaram-lhe pois: Que foi que te fez? Como te abriu os olhos?

27 Respondeu-lhes: Já vo-lo disse, e não atendestes; para que o quereis tornar a ouvir? Acaso também vós quereis tornar-vos discípulos dele?

28 Então o injuriaram, e disseram: Discípulo dele és tu; nós porém, somos discípulos de Moisés.

29 Sabemos que Deus falou a Moisés; mas quanto a este, não sabemos donde é.

30 Respondeu-lhes o homem: Nisto, pois, está a maravilha: não sabeis donde ele é, e entretanto ele me abriu os olhos;

31 sabemos que Deus não ouve a pecadores; mas, se alguém for temente a Deus, e fizer a sua vontade, a esse ele ouve.

32 Desde o princípio do mundo nunca se ouviu que alguém abrisse os olhos a um cego de nascença.

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

34 Replicaram-lhe eles: Tu nasceste todo em pecados, e vens nos ensinar a nós? E expulsaram-no.

35 Soube Jesus que o haviam expulsado; e achando-o perguntou-lhe: Crês tu no Filho do homem?

36 Respondeu ele: Quem é, senhor, para que nele creia?

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

38 Disse o homem: Creio, Senhor! E o adorou.

39 Prosseguiu então Jesus: Eu vim a este mundo para juízo, a fim de que os que não vêem vejam, e os que vêem se tornem cegos.

40 Alguns fariseus que ali estavam com ele, ouvindo isso, perguntaram-lhe: Porventura somos nós também cegos?

41 Respondeu-lhes Jesus: Se fosseis cegos, não teríeis pecado; mas como agora dizeis: Nós vemos, permanece o vosso pecado.
