New International Version NIV
1 Καὶ παράγων εἶδεν ἄνθρωπον τυφλὸν ἐκ γενετῆς.
1
As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth.
2 καὶ ἠρώτησαν αὐτὸν οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ λέγοντες · Ῥαββί, τίς ἥμαρτεν, οὗτος ἢ οἱ γονεῖς αὐτοῦ, ἵνα τυφλὸς γεννηθῇ;
2
His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”
3 ἀπεκρίθη Ἰησοῦς · Οὔτε οὗτος ἥμαρτεν οὔτε οἱ γονεῖς αὐτοῦ, ἀλλ’ ἵνα φανερωθῇ τὰ ἔργα τοῦ θεοῦ ἐν αὐτῷ.
3
“Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” said Jesus, “but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him.
4 ἡμᾶς δεῖ ἐργάζεσθαι τὰ ἔργα τοῦ πέμψαντός με ἕως ἡμέρα ἐστίν · ἔρχεται νὺξ ὅτε οὐδεὶς δύναται ἐργάζεσθαι.
4
As long as it is day, we must do the works of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work.
5 ὅταν ἐν τῷ κόσμῳ ὦ, φῶς εἰμι τοῦ κόσμου.
5
While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”
6 ταῦτα εἰπὼν ἔπτυσεν χαμαὶ καὶ ἐποίησεν πηλὸν ἐκ τοῦ πτύσματος, καὶ ἐπέχρισεν αὐτοῦ τὸν πηλὸν ἐπὶ τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς,
6
After saying this, he spit on the ground, made some mud with the saliva, and put it on the man’s eyes.
7 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ · Ὕπαγε νίψαι εἰς τὴν κολυμβήθραν τοῦ Σιλωάμ ὃ ἑρμηνεύεται Ἀπεσταλμένος ). ἀπῆλθεν οὖν καὶ ἐνίψατο, καὶ ἦλθεν βλέπων.
7
“Go,” he told him, “wash in the Pool of Siloam” (this word means “Sent”). So the man went and washed, and came home seeing.
8 οἱ οὖν γείτονες καὶ οἱ θεωροῦντες αὐτὸν τὸ πρότερον ὅτι προσαίτης ἦν ἔλεγον · Οὐχ οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ καθήμενος καὶ προσαιτῶν;
8
His neighbors and those who had formerly seen him begging asked, “Isn’t this the same man who used to sit and beg?”
9 ἄλλοι ἔλεγον ὅτι Οὗτός ἐστιν · ἄλλοι ἔλεγον · Οὐχί, ἀλλὰ ⸃ ὅμοιος αὐτῷ ἐστιν. ἐκεῖνος ἔλεγεν ὅτι Ἐγώ εἰμι.
9
Some claimed that he was. Others said, “No, he only looks like him.” But he himself insisted, “I am the man.”
10 ἔλεγον οὖν αὐτῷ · Πῶς ἠνεῴχθησάν σου οἱ ὀφθαλμοί;
10
“How then were your eyes opened?” they asked.
11 ἀπεκρίθη ἐκεῖνος · Ὁ ἄνθρωπος ὁ ⸃ λεγόμενος Ἰησοῦς πηλὸν ἐποίησεν καὶ ἐπέχρισέν μου τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς καὶ εἶπέν μοι ὅτι Ὕπαγε εἰς τὸν Σιλωὰμ καὶ νίψαι · ἀπελθὼν οὖν καὶ νιψάμενος ἀνέβλεψα.
11
He replied, “The man they call Jesus made some mud and put it on my eyes. He told me to go to Siloam and wash. So I went and washed, and then I could see.”
12 καὶ εἶπαν ⸃ αὐτῷ · Ποῦ ἐστιν ἐκεῖνος; λέγει · Οὐκ οἶδα.
12
“Where is this man?” they asked him. “I don’t know,” he said.
13 Ἄγουσιν αὐτὸν πρὸς τοὺς Φαρισαίους τόν ποτε τυφλόν.
13
They brought to the Pharisees the man who had been blind.
14 ἦν δὲ σάββατον ἐν ᾗ ἡμέρᾳ ⸃ τὸν πηλὸν ἐποίησεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς καὶ ἀνέῳξεν αὐτοῦ τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς.
14
Now the day on which Jesus had made the mud and opened the man’s eyes was a Sabbath.
15 πάλιν οὖν ἠρώτων αὐτὸν καὶ οἱ Φαρισαῖοι πῶς ἀνέβλεψεν. ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς · Πηλὸν ἐπέθηκέν μου ἐπὶ τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς, καὶ ἐνιψάμην, καὶ βλέπω.
15
Therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. “He put mud on my eyes,” the man replied, “and I washed, and now I see.”
16 ἔλεγον οὖν ἐκ τῶν Φαρισαίων τινές · Οὐκ ἔστιν οὗτος παρὰ θεοῦ ὁ ἄνθρωπος, ὅτι τὸ σάββατον οὐ τηρεῖ. ἄλλοι ἔλεγον · Πῶς δύναται ἄνθρωπος ἁμαρτωλὸς τοιαῦτα σημεῖα ποιεῖν; καὶ σχίσμα ἦν ἐν αὐτοῖς.
16
Some of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath.” But others asked, “How can a sinner perform such signs?” So they were divided.
17 λέγουσιν οὖν τῷ τυφλῷ πάλιν · Τί σὺ ⸃ λέγεις περὶ αὐτοῦ, ὅτι ἠνέῳξέν σου τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς; ὁ δὲ εἶπεν ὅτι Προφήτης ἐστίν.
17
Then they turned again to the blind man, “What have you to say about him? It was your eyes he opened.” The man replied, “He is a prophet.”
18 Οὐκ ἐπίστευσαν οὖν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι περὶ αὐτοῦ ὅτι ἦν τυφλὸς ⸃ καὶ ἀνέβλεψεν, ἕως ὅτου ἐφώνησαν τοὺς γονεῖς αὐτοῦ τοῦ ἀναβλέψαντος ⸃
18
They still did not believe that he had been blind and had received his sight until they sent for the man’s parents.
19 καὶ ἠρώτησαν αὐτοὺς λέγοντες · Οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ υἱὸς ὑμῶν, ὃν ὑμεῖς λέγετε ὅτι τυφλὸς ἐγεννήθη; πῶς οὖν βλέπει ἄρτι;
19
“Is this your son?” they asked. “Is this the one you say was born blind? How is it that now he can see?”
20 ἀπεκρίθησαν οὖν οἱ γονεῖς αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπαν · Οἴδαμεν ὅτι οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ υἱὸς ἡμῶν καὶ ὅτι τυφλὸς ἐγεννήθη ·
20
“We know he is our son,” the parents answered, “and we know he was born blind.
21 πῶς δὲ νῦν βλέπει οὐκ οἴδαμεν, ἢ τίς ἤνοιξεν αὐτοῦ τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς ἡμεῖς οὐκ οἴδαμεν · αὐτὸν ἐρωτήσατε, ἡλικίαν ἔχει, αὐτὸς περὶ ἑαυτοῦ λαλήσει.
21
But how he can see now, or who opened his eyes, we don’t know. Ask him. He is of age; he will speak for himself.”
22 ταῦτα εἶπαν οἱ γονεῖς αὐτοῦ ὅτι ἐφοβοῦντο τοὺς Ἰουδαίους, ἤδη γὰρ συνετέθειντο οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι ἵνα ἐάν τις αὐτὸν ὁμολογήσῃ χριστόν, ἀποσυνάγωγος γένηται.
22
His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jewish leaders, who already had decided that anyone who acknowledged that Jesus was the Messiah would be put out of the synagogue.
23 διὰ τοῦτο οἱ γονεῖς αὐτοῦ εἶπαν ὅτι Ἡλικίαν ἔχει, αὐτὸν ἐπερωτήσατε.
23
That was why his parents said, “He is of age; ask him.”
24 Ἐφώνησαν οὖν τὸν ἄνθρωπον ἐκ δευτέρου ⸃ ὃς ἦν τυφλὸς καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῷ · Δὸς δόξαν τῷ θεῷ · ἡμεῖς οἴδαμεν ὅτι οὗτος ὁ ἄνθρωπος ⸃ ἁμαρτωλός ἐστιν.
24
A second time they summoned the man who had been blind. “Give glory to God by telling the truth,” they said. “We know this man is a sinner.”
25 ἀπεκρίθη οὖν ἐκεῖνος · Εἰ ἁμαρτωλός ἐστιν οὐκ οἶδα · ἓν οἶδα ὅτι τυφλὸς ὢν ἄρτι βλέπω.
25
He replied, “Whether he is a sinner or not, I don’t know. One thing I do know. I was blind but now I see!”
26 εἶπον οὖν αὐτῷ ⸃· Τί ἐποίησέν σοι; πῶς ἤνοιξέν σου τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς;
26
Then they asked him, “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?”
27 ἀπεκρίθη αὐτοῖς · Εἶπον ὑμῖν ἤδη καὶ οὐκ ἠκούσατε · τί πάλιν θέλετε ἀκούειν; μὴ καὶ ὑμεῖς θέλετε αὐτοῦ μαθηταὶ γενέσθαι;
27
He answered, “I have told you already and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you want to become his disciples too?”
28 ἐλοιδόρησαν αὐτὸν καὶ εἶπον · Σὺ μαθητὴς εἶ ⸃ ἐκείνου, ἡμεῖς δὲ τοῦ Μωϋσέως ἐσμὲν μαθηταί ·
28
Then they hurled insults at him and said, “You are this fellow’s disciple! We are disciples of Moses!
29 ἡμεῖς οἴδαμεν ὅτι Μωϋσεῖ λελάληκεν ὁ θεός, τοῦτον δὲ οὐκ οἴδαμεν πόθεν ἐστίν.
29
We know that God spoke to Moses, but as for this fellow, we don’t even know where he comes from.”
30 ἀπεκρίθη ὁ ἄνθρωπος καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς · Ἐν τούτῳ γὰρ τὸ ⸃ θαυμαστόν ἐστιν ὅτι ὑμεῖς οὐκ οἴδατε πόθεν ἐστίν, καὶ ἤνοιξέν μου τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς.
30
The man answered, “Now that is remarkable! You don’t know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes.
31 οἴδαμεν ὅτι ἁμαρτωλῶν ὁ θεὸς ⸃ οὐκ ἀκούει, ἀλλ’ ἐάν τις θεοσεβὴς ᾖ καὶ τὸ θέλημα αὐτοῦ ποιῇ τούτου ἀκούει.
31
We know that God does not listen to sinners. He listens to the godly person who does his will.
32 ἐκ τοῦ αἰῶνος οὐκ ἠκούσθη ὅτι ἠνέῳξέν τις ὀφθαλμοὺς τυφλοῦ γεγεννημένου ·
32
Nobody has ever heard of opening the eyes of a man born blind.
33 εἰ μὴ ἦν οὗτος παρὰ θεοῦ, οὐκ ἠδύνατο ποιεῖν οὐδέν.
33
If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.”
34 ἀπεκρίθησαν καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῷ · Ἐν ἁμαρτίαις σὺ ἐγεννήθης ὅλος, καὶ σὺ διδάσκεις ἡμᾶς; καὶ ἐξέβαλον αὐτὸν ἔξω.
34
To this they replied, “You were steeped in sin at birth; how dare you lecture us!” And they threw him out.
35 Ἤκουσεν Ἰησοῦς ὅτι ἐξέβαλον αὐτὸν ἔξω, καὶ εὑρὼν αὐτὸν εἶπεν · Σὺ πιστεύεις εἰς τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου;
35
Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and when he found him, he said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?”
36 ἀπεκρίθη ἐκεῖνος καὶ εἶπεν · Καὶ τίς ἐστιν, κύριε, ἵνα πιστεύσω εἰς αὐτόν;
36
“Who is he, sir?” the man asked. “Tell me so that I may believe in him.”
37 εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς · Καὶ ἑώρακας αὐτὸν καὶ ὁ λαλῶν μετὰ σοῦ ἐκεῖνός ἐστιν.
37
Jesus said, “You have now seen him; in fact, he is the one speaking with you.”
38 ὁ δὲ ἔφη · Πιστεύω, κύριε · καὶ προσεκύνησεν αὐτῷ.
38
Then the man said, “Lord, I believe,” and he worshiped him.
39 καὶ εἶπεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς · Εἰς κρίμα ἐγὼ εἰς τὸν κόσμον τοῦτον ἦλθον, ἵνα οἱ μὴ βλέποντες βλέπωσιν καὶ οἱ βλέποντες τυφλοὶ γένωνται.
39
Jesus said,“For judgment I have come into this world, so that the blind will see and those who see will become blind.”
40 ἤκουσαν ἐκ τῶν Φαρισαίων ταῦτα οἱ μετ’ αὐτοῦ ὄντες, καὶ εἶπον αὐτῷ · Μὴ καὶ ἡμεῖς τυφλοί ἐσμεν;
40
Some Pharisees who were with him heard him say this and asked, “What? Are we blind too?”
41 εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς · Εἰ τυφλοὶ ἦτε, οὐκ ἂν εἴχετε ἁμαρτίαν · νῦν δὲ λέγετε ὅτι Βλέπομεν · ἡ ἁμαρτία ὑμῶν μένει.
41
Jesus said, “If you were blind, you would not be guilty of sin; but now that you claim you can see, your guilt remains.
