Κατα Ιωαννην 9
1 και παραγων ειδεν ανθρωπον τυφλον εκ γενετης
And as he passed by, he saw a man that had been blind from his birth.
2 και ηρωτησαν αυτον οι μαθηται αυτου λεγοντες ραββι τις ημαρτεν ουτος η οι γονεις αυτου ινα τυφλος γεννηθη
And his disciples asked him, saying: Rabbi, who sinned, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?
3 απεκριθη ο ιησους ουτε ουτος ημαρτεν ουτε οι γονεις αυτου αλλ ινα φανερωθη τα εργα του θεου εν αυτω
Jesus answered: Neither this man sinned, nor his parents; but that the works of God might be made manifest in him.
4 εμε δει εργαζεσθαι τα εργα του πεμψαντος με εως ημερα εστιν ερχεται νυξ οτε ουδεις δυναται εργαζεσθαι
I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day; the night comes, when no man can work.
5 οταν εν τω κοσμω ω φως ειμι του κοσμου
While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
6 ταυτα ειπων επτυσεν χαμαι και εποιησεν πηλον εκ του πτυσματος και επεχρισεν τον πηλον επι τους οφθαλμους του τυφλου
Having said this, he spit on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and spread the clay on the eyes of the blind man,
7 και ειπεν αυτω υπαγε νιψαι εις την κολυμβηθραν του σιλωαμ ο ερμηνευεται απεσταλμενος απηλθεν ουν και ενιψατο και ηλθεν βλεπων
and said to him: Go, wash in the pool of Siloam; which, translated, means Sent. He went, therefore, and washed and came seeing.
8 οι ουν γειτονες και οι θεωρουντες αυτον το προτερον οτι τυφλος ην ελεγον ουχ ουτος εστιν ο καθημενος και προσαιτων
Then his neighbors, and those who had before seen him, that he was blind, said: Is not this he that sat and begged?
9 αλλοι ελεγον οτι ουτος εστιν αλλοι δε οτι ομοιος αυτω εστιν εκεινος ελεγεν οτι εγω ειμι
Some said: It is he. Others: He is like him. But he said: I am he.
10 ελεγον ουν αυτω πως ανεωχθησαν σου οι οφθαλμοι
Then they said to him: How were your eyes opened?
11 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
He answered and said: A man called Jesus made clay and spread it on my eyes, and said to me: Go to the pool of Siloam and wash. After I had gone and washed, I received my sight.
12 ειπον ουν αυτω που εστιν εκεινος λεγει ουκ οιδα
Then they said to him: Where is he? He said: I know not.
13 αγουσιν αυτον προς τους φαρισαιους τον ποτε τυφλον
They brought to the Pharisees him that had formerly been blind.
14 ην δε σαββατον οτε τον πηλον εποιησεν ο ιησους και ανεωξεν αυτου τους οφθαλμους
And it was the sabbath when Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes.
15 παλιν ουν ηρωτων αυτον και οι φαρισαιοι πως ανεβλεψεν ο δε ειπεν αυτοις πηλον επεθηκεν επι τους οφθαλμους μου και ενιψαμην και βλεπω
Then again the Pharisees also inquired of him how he had received his sight. He said to them: He put clay on my eyes, and I washed, and I see.
16 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
Then some of the Pharisees said: This man is not from God, for he keeps not the sabbath. Others said: How can a man that is a sinner do such signs? And there was a division among them?
17 λεγουσιν τω τυφλω παλιν συ τι λεγεις περι αυτου οτι ηνοιξεν σου τους οφθαλμους ο δε ειπεν οτι προφητης εστιν
Again they said to the blind man: What say you of him, seeing that he opened your eyes? He said: He is a prophet.
18 ουκ επιστευσαν ουν οι ιουδαιοι περι αυτου οτι τυφλος ην και ανεβλεψεν εως οτου εφωνησαν τους γονεις αυτου του αναβλεψαντος
The Jews did not, therefore, believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and had received his sight, till they called the parents of him that had received his sight,
19 και ηρωτησαν αυτους λεγοντες ουτος εστιν ο υιος υμων ον υμεις λεγετε οτι τυφλος εγεννηθη πως ουν αρτι βλεπει
and asked them, saying: Is this your son, who, you say, was born blind? How, then, does he now see?
20 απεκριθησαν αυτοις οι γονεις αυτου και ειπον οιδαμεν οτι ουτος εστιν ο υιος ημων και οτι τυφλος εγεννηθη
His parents answered them, and said: We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;
21 πως δε νυν βλεπει ουκ οιδαμεν η τις ηνοιξεν αυτου τους οφθαλμους ημεις ουκ οιδαμεν αυτος ηλικιαν εχει αυτον ερωτησατε αυτος περι αυτου λαλησει
but how he now sees we know not; or who opened his eyes we know not. He is of age; ask him; he will speak for himself.
22 ταυτα ειπον οι γονεις αυτου οτι εφοβουντο τους ιουδαιους ηδη γαρ συνετεθειντο οι ιουδαιοι ινα εαν τις αυτον ομολογηση χριστον αποσυναγωγος γενηται
His parents said this, because they feared the Jews. For the Jews had already agreed, that if any one should confess him to be the Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.
23 δια τουτο οι γονεις αυτου ειπον οτι ηλικιαν εχει αυτον ερωτησατε
For this reason his parents said: He is of age; ask him.
24 εφωνησαν ουν εκ δευτερου τον ανθρωπον ος ην τυφλος και ειπον αυτω δος δοξαν τω θεω ημεις οιδαμεν οτι ο ανθρωπος ουτος αμαρτωλος εστιν
Then, the second time, they called the man who had been blind, and said to him: Give glory to God; we know that this man is a sinner.
25 απεκριθη ουν εκεινος και ειπεν ει αμαρτωλος εστιν ουκ οιδα εν οιδα οτι τυφλος ων αρτι βλεπω
He answered and said: If he is a sinner, I know it not. One thing I do know, that having been blind, I now see.
26 ειπον δε αυτω παλιν τι εποιησεν σοι πως ηνοιξεν σου τους οφθαλμους
They said to him again: What did he for you? How did he open your eyes?
27 απεκριθη αυτοις ειπον υμιν ηδη και ουκ ηκουσατε τι παλιν θελετε ακουειν μη και υμεις θελετε αυτου μαθηται γενεσθαι
He answered them: I have already told you, and you did not understand; why would you hear it again? Do you also wish to become his disciples?
28 ελοιδορησαν ουν αυτον και ειπον συ ει μαθητης εκεινου ημεις δε του μωσεως εσμεν μαθηται
They reviled him, and said: You are the disciple of that man; but we are the disciples of Moses.
29 ημεις οιδαμεν οτι μωση λελαληκεν ο θεος τουτον δε ουκ οιδαμεν ποθεν εστιν
We know that God spoke to Moses; but as for this man, we know not whence he is.
30 απεκριθη ο ανθρωπος και ειπεν αυτοις εν γαρ τουτω θαυμαστον εστιν οτι υμεις ουκ οιδατε ποθεν εστιν και ανεωξεν μου τους οφθαλμους
The man answered and said to them: Why, there is something wonderful in this, that you know not whence he is, and yet he has opened my eyes.
31 οιδαμεν δε οτι αμαρτωλων ο θεος ουκ ακουει αλλ εαν τις θεοσεβης η και το θελημα αυτου ποιη τουτου ακουει
We know that God hears not sinners; but if any one be a worshiper of God, and do his will, him he hears.
Since the beginning it has not been heard that any one opened the eyes of one who had been born blind. (aiōn g165)
33 ει μη ην ουτος παρα θεου ουκ ηδυνατο ποιειν ουδεν
If this man were not of God, he could do nothing.
34 απεκριθησαν και ειπον αυτω εν αμαρτιαις συ εγεννηθης ολος και συ διδασκεις ημας και εξεβαλον αυτον εξω
They answered and said to him: You were wholly born in sins, and do you teach us? And they cast him out.
35 ηκουσεν ο ιησους οτι εξεβαλον αυτον εξω και ευρων αυτον ειπεν αυτω συ πιστευεις εις τον υιον του θεου
Jesus heard that they had cast him out. And having found him, he said to him: Do you believe on the Son of God?
36 απεκριθη εκεινος και ειπεν τις εστιν κυριε ινα πιστευσω εις αυτον
He answered and said: Who is he, sir, that I may believe on him?
37 ειπεν δε αυτω ο ιησους και εωρακας αυτον και ο λαλων μετα σου εκεινος εστιν
Jesus said to him: You have seen him; and it is he that talks with you.
38 ο δε εφη πιστευω κυριε και προσεκυνησεν αυτω
He said: Lord, I believe; and he worshiped him.
39 και ειπεν ο ιησους εις κριμα εγω εις τον κοσμον τουτον ηλθον ινα οι μη βλεποντες βλεπωσιν και οι βλεποντες τυφλοι γενωνται
And Jesus said: For judgment have I come into this world, that those who see not, may see; and that those who see, may become blind.
40 και ηκουσαν εκ των φαρισαιων ταυτα οι οντες μετ αυτου και ειπον αυτω μη και ημεις τυφλοι εσμεν
And some of the Pharisees who were with him, heard these things, and said to him: Are we also blind?
41 ειπεν αυτοις ο ιησους ει τυφλοι ητε ουκ αν ειχετε αμαρτιαν νυν δε λεγετε οτι βλεπομεν η ουν αμαρτια υμων μενει
Jesus said to them: If you were blind, you would not have sin; but now you say, We see; therefore your sin remains.
