John 9

1 And passing by, he saw a man blind from birth,

και παραγων ειδεν ανθρωπον τυφλον εκ γενετης

2 and his disciples asked him, saying, 'Rabbi, who did sin, this one or his parents, that he should be born blind?'

και ηρωτησαν αυτον οι μαθηται αυτου λεγοντες ραββι τις ημαρτεν ουτος η οι γονεις αυτου ινα τυφλος γεννηθη

3 Jesus answered, 'Neither did this one sin nor his parents, but that the works of God may be manifested in him;

απεκριθη ιησους ουτε ουτος ημαρτεν ουτε οι γονεις αυτου αλλ ινα φανερωθη τα εργα του θεου εν αυτω

4 it behoveth me to be working the works of Him who sent me while it is day; night doth come, when no one is able to work: —

εμε δει εργαζεσθαι τα εργα του πεμψαντος με εως ημερα εστιν ερχεται νυξ οτε ουδεις δυναται εργαζεσθαι

5 when I am in the world, I am a light of the world.'

οταν εν τω κοσμω ω φως ειμι του κοσμου

6 These things saying, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and rubbed the clay on the eyes of the blind man, and said to him,

ταυτα ειπων επτυσεν χαμαι και εποιησεν πηλον εκ του πτυσματος και επεχρισεν τον πηλον επι τους οφθαλμους του τυφλου

7 'Go away, wash at the pool of Siloam,' which is, interpreted, Sent. He went away, therefore, and did wash, and came seeing;

και ειπεν αυτω υπαγε νιψαι εις την κολυμβηθραν του σιλωαμ ο ερμηνευεται απεσταλμενος απηλθεν ουν και ενιψατο και ηλθεν βλεπων

8 the neighbours, therefore, and those seeing him before, that he was blind, said, 'Is not this he who is sitting and begging?'

οι ουν γειτονες και οι θεωρουντες αυτον το προτερον οτι τυφλος ην ελεγον ουχ ουτος εστιν ο καθημενος και προσαιτων

9 others said — 'This is he;' and others — 'He is like to him;' he himself said, — 'I am [he].'

αλλοι ελεγον οτι ουτος εστιν αλλοι δε οτι ομοιος αυτω εστιν εκεινος ελεγεν οτι εγω ειμι

10 They said, therefore, to him, 'How were thine eyes opened?'

ελεγον ουν αυτω πως ανεωχθησαν σου οι οφθαλμοι

11 he answered and said, 'A man called Jesus made clay, and rubbed my eyes, and said to me, Go away to the pool of Siloam, and wash; and having gone away and having washed, I received sight;'

απεκριθη εκεινος και ειπεν ανθρωπος λεγομενος ιησους πηλον εποιησεν και επεχρισεν μου τους οφθαλμους και ειπεν μοι υπαγε εις την κολυμβηθραν του σιλωαμ και νιψαι απελθων δε και νιψαμενος ανεβλεψα

12 they said, therefore, to him, 'Where is that one?' he saith, 'I have not known.'

ειπον ουν αυτω που εστιν εκεινος λεγει ουκ οιδα

13 They bring him to the Pharisees who once [was] blind,

αγουσιν αυτον προς τους φαρισαιους τον ποτε τυφλον

14 and it was a sabbath when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.

ην δε σαββατον οτε τον πηλον εποιησεν ο ιησους και ανεωξεν αυτου τους οφθαλμους

15 Again, therefore, the Pharisees also were asking him how he received sight, and he said to them, 'Clay he did put upon my eyes, and I did wash — and I see.'

παλιν ουν ηρωτων αυτον και οι φαρισαιοι πως ανεβλεψεν ο δε ειπεν αυτοις πηλον επεθηκεν μου επι τους οφθαλμους και ενιψαμην και βλεπω

16 Of the Pharisees, therefore, certain said, 'This man is not from God, because the sabbath he doth not keep;' others said, 'How is a man — a sinful one — able to do such signs?' and there was a division among them.

ελεγον ουν εκ των φαρισαιων τινες ουτος ο ανθρωπος ουκ εστιν παρα του θεου οτι το σαββατον ου τηρει αλλοι ελεγον πως δυναται ανθρωπος αμαρτωλος τοιαυτα σημεια ποιειν και σχισμα ην εν αυτοις

17 They said to the blind man again, 'Thou — what dost thou say of him — that he opened thine eyes?'

λεγουσιν τω τυφλω παλιν συ τι λεγεις περι αυτου οτι ηνοιξεν σου τους οφθαλμους ο δε ειπεν οτι προφητης εστιν

18 and he said — 'He is a prophet.' The Jews, therefore, did not believe concerning him that he was blind and did receive sight, till that they called the parents of him who received sight,

ουκ επιστευσαν ουν οι ιουδαιοι περι αυτου οτι τυφλος ην και ανεβλεψεν εως οτου εφωνησαν τους γονεις αυτου του αναβλεψαντος

19 and they asked them, saying, 'Is your son, of whom ye say that he was born blind? how then now doth he see?'

και ηρωτησαν αυτους λεγοντες ουτος εστιν ο υιος υμων ον υμεις λεγετε οτι τυφλος εγεννηθη πως ουν αρτι βλεπει

20 His parents answered them and said, 'We have known that this is our son, and that he was born blind;

απεκριθησαν δε αυτοις οι γονεις αυτου και ειπον οιδαμεν οτι ουτος εστιν ο υιος ημων και οτι τυφλος εγεννηθη

21 and how he now seeth, we have not known; or who opened his eyes, we have not known; himself is of age, ask him; he himself shall speak concerning himself.'

πως δε νυν βλεπει ουκ οιδαμεν η τις ηνοιξεν αυτου τους οφθαλμους ημεις ουκ οιδαμεν αυτος ηλικιαν εχει αυτον ερωτησατε αυτος περι εαυτου λαλησει

22 These things said his parents, because they were afraid of the Jews, for already had the Jews agreed together, that if any one may confess him — Christ, he may be put out of the synagogue;

ταυτα ειπον οι γονεις αυτου οτι εφοβουντο τους ιουδαιους ηδη γαρ συνετεθειντο οι ιουδαιοι ινα εαν τις αυτον ομολογηση χριστον αποσυναγωγος γενηται

23 because of this his parents said — 'He is of age, ask him.'

δια τουτο οι γονεις αυτου ειπον οτι ηλικιαν εχει αυτον ερωτησατε

24 They called, therefore, a second time the man who was blind, and they said to him, 'Give glory to God, we have known that this man is a sinner;'

εφωνησαν ουν εκ δευτερου τον ανθρωπον ος ην τυφλος και ειπον αυτω δος δοξαν τω θεω ημεις οιδαμεν οτι ο ανθρωπος ουτος αμαρτωλος εστιν

25 he answered, therefore, and said, 'If he be a sinner — I have not known, one thing I have known, that, being blind, now I see.'

απεκριθη ουν εκεινος και ειπεν ει αμαρτωλος εστιν ουκ οιδα εν οιδα οτι τυφλος ων αρτι βλεπω

26 And they said to him again, 'What did he to thee? how did he open thine eyes?'

ειπον δε αυτω παλιν τι εποιησεν σοι πως ηνοιξεν σου τους οφθαλμους

27 He answered them, 'I told you already, and ye did not hear; why again do ye wish to hear? do ye also wish to become his disciples?'

απεκριθη αυτοις ειπον υμιν ηδη και ουκ ηκουσατε τι παλιν θελετε ακουειν μη και υμεις θελετε αυτου μαθηται γενεσθαι

28 They reviled him, therefore, and said, 'Thou art his disciple, and we are Moses' disciples;

ελοιδορησαν αυτον και ειπον συ ει μαθητης εκεινου ημεις δε του μωσεως εσμεν μαθηται

29 we have known that God hath spoken to Moses, but this one — we have not known whence he is.'

ημεις οιδαμεν οτι μωση λελαληκεν ο θεος τουτον δε ουκ οιδαμεν ποθεν εστιν

30 The man answered and said to them, 'Why, in this is a wonderful thing, that ye have not known whence he is, and he opened my eyes!

απεκριθη ο ανθρωπος και ειπεν αυτοις εν γαρ τουτω θαυμαστον εστιν οτι υμεις ουκ οιδατε ποθεν εστιν και ανεωξεν μου τους οφθαλμους

31 and we have known that God doth not hear sinners, but, if any one may be a worshipper of God, and may do His will, him He doth hear;

οιδαμεν δε οτι αμαρτωλων ο θεος ουκ ακουει αλλ εαν τις θεοσεβης η και το θελημα αυτου ποιη τουτου ακουει

32 from the age it was not heard, that any one did open eyes of one who hath been born blind; (aiōn g165)

εκ του αιωνος ουκ ηκουσθη οτι ηνοιξεν τις οφθαλμους τυφλου γεγεννημενου (aiōn g165)

33 if this one were not from God, he were not able to do anything.'

ει μη ην ουτος παρα θεου ουκ ηδυνατο ποιειν ουδεν

34 They answered and said to him, 'In sins thou wast born altogether, and thou dost teach us!' and they cast him forth without.

απεκριθησαν και ειπον αυτω εν αμαρτιαις συ εγεννηθης ολος και συ διδασκεις ημας και εξεβαλον αυτον εξω

35 Jesus heard that they cast him forth without, and having found him, he said to him, 'Dost thou believe in the Son of God?'

ηκουσεν ο ιησους οτι εξεβαλον αυτον εξω και ευρων αυτον ειπεν αυτω συ πιστευεις εις τον υιον του θεου

36 he answered and said, 'Who is he, sir, that I may believe in him?'

απεκριθη εκεινος και ειπεν και τις εστιν κυριε ινα πιστευσω εις αυτον

37 And Jesus said to him, 'Thou hast both seen him, and he who is speaking with thee is he;'

ειπεν δε αυτω ο ιησους και εωρακας αυτον και ο λαλων μετα σου εκεινος εστιν

38 and he said, 'I believe, sir,' and bowed before him.

ο δε εφη πιστευω κυριε και προσεκυνησεν αυτω

39 And Jesus said, 'For judgment I to this world did come, that those not seeing may see, and those seeing may become blind.'

και ειπεν ο ιησους εις κριμα εγω εις τον κοσμον τουτον ηλθον ινα οι μη βλεποντες βλεπωσιν και οι βλεποντες τυφλοι γενωνται

40 And those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and they said to him, 'Are we also blind?'

και ηκουσαν εκ των φαρισαιων ταυτα οι οντες μετ αυτου και ειπον αυτω μη και ημεις τυφλοι εσμεν

41 Jesus said to them, 'If ye were blind, ye were not having had sin, but now ye say — We see, therefore doth your sin remain.

ειπεν αυτοις ο ιησους ει τυφλοι ητε ουκ αν ειχετε αμαρτιαν νυν δε λεγετε οτι βλεπομεν η ουν αμαρτια υμων μενει
