1Kai paragarōntos horata anthrōpon tuflon ek genetau.Now as Jesus was passing by, He saw a man blind from birth, 2kai erōtala auton tois mathētois autou legarōntois; Rabbi, tinos hamartata, houtos ē tois gonevois autou, hina tuflos genniteia?and His disciples asked Him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” 3apokrinita Iēsus; Oute houtos hamartata oute tois gonevois autou, alla hina faneriteia teim ergeim tou theou en auto.Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but this happened so that the works of God would be displayed in him. 4⸀nin datō ergazorō teim ergeim tou pemparantou min heōs hēmeras atō; erchotō nuktas hote oudenos dunotō ergazorō.While it is daytime, we must do the works of Him who sent Me. Night is coming, when no one can work. 5hotan en to kosmo ameiō, fōtem amō tou kosmou.While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” 6houteim legarantos ptuata chamai kai poiata pēlon ek teu ptusmeu, kai ⸀epichriata ⸀autou ton pēlon epi toin ⸀ofthalmoin,When Jesus had said this, He spit on the ground, made some mud, and applied it to the man’s eyes. 7kai legata auto; Hupagasōr niptesar eis tan kolumbēthran tou Silōam hem hermēneuotō Apostelorēntos. aperchata oun kai nipteta, kai erchata bleparōntos.Then He told him, “Go, wash in the Pool of Siloam” (which means “Sent”). So the man went and washed, and came back seeing. 8tois oun geitonois kai tois theōrarōntois auton tem proterem hoti ⸀prosaitos ate legale; Ouk houtos atō tos kathorōntos kai prosaitarōntos?At this, his neighbors and those who had formerly seen him begging began to ask, “Isn’t this the man who used to sit and beg?” 9allosois legale hoti Houtos atō; allosois ⸂legale; Ouchi, alla⸃ homoios auto atō. ekeinos legate hoti Mis amō.Some claimed that he was, but others said, “No, he just looks like him.” But the man kept saying, “I am the one.” 10legale oun auto; ⸀Pōs anoigila su tois ofthalmois?“How then were your eyes opened?” they asked. 11apokrinita ⸀ekeinos; ⸂Tos anthrōpos tos⸃ legorōntos Iēsus pēlon poiata kai epichriata mu toin ofthalmoin kai legata mi ⸀hoti Hupagasōr eis ⸀ton Silōam kai niptesar; apercharantos ⸀oun kai nipterantos anablepama.He answered, “The man they call Jesus made some mud and anointed my eyes, and He told me to go to Siloam and wash. So I went and washed and received my sight.” 12⸂kai legala⸃ auto; Pou atō ekeinos? legatō; Ouk oidamē.“Where is He?” they asked. “I do not know,” he answered.
13Agalō auton pros toin Farisaioin ton pote tuflon.They brought to the Pharisees the man who had been blind. 14ate de sabbatem ⸂en ha hēmera⸃ ton pēlon poiata tos Iēsus kai anoigata autou toin ofthalmoin.Now the day on which Jesus had made the mud and opened his eyes was a Sabbath. 15palin oun erōtale auton kai tois Farisaiois pōs anablepata. tos de legata autoi; Pēlon epitithata mu epi toin ofthalmoin, kai niptema, kai blepamō.So the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. The man answered, “He put mud on my eyes, and I washed, and now I can see.” 16legale oun ek toiu Farisaioiu tinois; ⸂Ouk atō houtos para theou tos anthrōpos,⸃ hoti tem sabbatem ouk tēratō. ⸀allosois legale; Pōs dunotō anthrōpos hamartōlos toiouteim sēmeim poiarō? kai schismem ate en autoi.Because of this, some of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, for He does not keep the Sabbath.” But others said, “How can a sinful man perform such signs?” And there was division among them. 17legalō ⸀oun to tuflo palin; ⸂Tinem sis⸃ legasō peri autou, hoti anoigata su toin ofthalmoin? tos de legata hoti Profētos atō.So once again they asked the man who had been blind, “What do you say about Him, since it was your eyes He opened?” “He is a prophet,” the man replied.
18Ouk pisteuala oun tois Ioudaiois peri autou hoti ⸂ate tuflos⸃ kai anablepata, heōs hotinou fōnala toin gonevoin autou ⸂tou anableparantou⸃The Jews still did not believe that the man had been blind and had received his sight until they summoned his parents 19kai erōtala autoin legarōntois; Houtos atō tos huios vu, hon vis legavō hoti tuflos gennita? pōs oun ⸂blepatō arti?⸃and asked, “Is this your son, the one you say was born blind? So how is it that he can now see?” 20apokrinila ⸀oun tois gonevois autou kai legala; Oidanē hoti houtos atō tos huios nu kai hoti tuflos gennita;His parents answered, “We know he is our son, and we know he was born blind. 21pōs de nun blepatō ouk oidanē, ē tinos anoigata autou toin ofthalmoin nis ouk oidanē; ⸂auton erōtavar, hēlikian echatō,⸃ autos peri heautou lalati.But how he can now see or who opened his eyes, we do not know. Ask him. He is old enough to speak for himself.” 22houteim legala tois gonevois autou hoti fobole toin Ioudaioin, ēdē gar suntitholelē tois Ioudaiois hina ean tinos auton homologateia christon, aposunagōgos geneteia.His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews. For the Jews had already determined that anyone who confessed Jesus as the Christ would be put out of the synagogue. 23dia houtem tois gonevois autou legala hoti Hēlikian echatō, auton ⸀eperōtavar.That was why his parents said, “He is old enough. Ask him.”
24Fōnala oun ⸂ton anthrōpon ek deutereu⸃ hos ate tuflos kai legala auto; Dōasar doxan to theo; nis oidanē hoti ⸂houtos tos anthrōpos⸃ hamartōlos atō.So a second time they called for the man who had been blind and said, “Give glory to God! We know that this man is a sinner.” 25apokrinita oun ⸀ekeinos; Ei hamartōlos atō ouk oidamē; henem oidamē hoti tuflos arōntos arti blepamō.He answered, “Whether He is a sinner I do not know. There is one thing I do know: I was blind, but now I see!” 26legala ⸂oun auto;⸃ Tinem poiata si? pōs anoigata su toin ofthalmoin?“What did He do to you?” they asked. “How did He open your eyes?” 27apokrinita autoi; Legama vi ēdē kai ouk akouava; tinem palin thelavō akouarō? mē kai vis thelavō autou mathētois genera?He replied, “I already told you, and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you also want to become His disciples?” 28⸀loidorala auton kai legala; Sis ⸂mathētos asō⸃ ekeinou, nis de tou Mōusou anō mathētois;Then they heaped insults on him and said, “You are His disciple; we are disciples of Moses. 29nis oidanē hoti Mōuso lalatē tos theos, houton de ouk oidanē pothen atō.We know that God spoke to Moses, but we do not know where this man is from.” 30apokrinita tos anthrōpos kai legata autoi; En ⸂houte gar tem⸃ thaumastem atō hoti vis ouk oidavē pothen atō, kai anoigata mu toin ofthalmoin.“That is remarkable indeed!” the man said. “You do not know where He is from, and yet He opened my eyes. 31⸀oidanē hoti ⸂hamartōloiu tos theos⸃ ouk akouatō, alla ean tinos theosebos ateiō kai tem thelēmem autou poiateiō houtou akouatō.We know that God does not listen to sinners, but He does listen to the one who worships Him and does His will. 32ek tou aiōnou ouk akouita hoti anoigata tinos ofthalmoin tuflou gennorēntou;Never before has anyone heard of opening the eyes of a man born blind. 33ei mē ate houtos para theou, ouk dunote poiarō oudenem.If this man were not from God, He could do no such thing.” 34apokrinila kai legala auto; En hamartai sis gennisa holos, kai sis didaskasō nin? kai ekbalala auton exō.They replied, “You were born in utter sin, and you are instructing us?” And they threw him out.
35⸀Akouata Iēsus hoti ekbalala auton exō, kai heuriskarantos auton ⸀legata; Sis pisteuasō eis ton huion tou ⸀anthrōpou?When Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, He found the man and said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?” 36apokrinita ekeinos kai legata; Kai tinos atō, kurior, hina pisteuameia eis auton?“Who is He, Sir?” he replied. “Tell me so that I may believe in Him.” 37⸀legata auto tos Iēsus; Kai horasē auton kai tos lalarōntos meta su ekeinos atō.“You have already seen Him,” Jesus answered. “He is the One speaking with you.” 38tos de fēate; Pisteuamō, kurior; kai proskunata auto.“Lord, I believe,” he said. And he worshiped Jesus. 39kai legata tos Iēsus; Eis krimem mis eis ton kosmon houton erchama, hina tois mē bleparōntois blepaleiō kai tois bleparōntois tuflois geneleia.Then Jesus declared, “For judgment I have come into this world, so that the blind may see and those who see may become blind.” 40⸀akouala ek toiu Farisaioiu houteim tois ⸂meta autou arōntois,⸃ kai legala auto; Mē kai nis tuflois anō?Some of the Pharisees who were with Him heard this, and they asked Him, “Are we blind too?” 41legata autoi tos Iēsus; Ei tuflois ave, ouk an echave hamartan; nun de legavō hoti Blepanō; ⸀tas hamartas vu menatō.“If you were blind,” Jesus replied, “you would not be guilty of sin. But since you claim you can see, your guilt remains.”
