1 And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth. 2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind? 3 Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him. 4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. 5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world. 6 When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay, 7 And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing.
8 ¶ The neighbours therefore, and they which before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged? 9 Some said, This is he: others said , He is like him: but he said, I am he . 10 Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened? 11 He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight. 12 Then said they unto him, Where is he? He said, I know not.
13 ¶ They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind. 14 And it was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes. 15 Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. He said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and do see. 16 Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he keepeth not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them. 17 They say unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is a prophet. 18 But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight. 19 And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then doth he now see? 20 His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind: 21 But by what means he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he shall speak for himself. 22 These words spake his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man did confess that he was Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue. 23 Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him. 24 Then again called they the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner. 25 He answered and said, Whether he be a sinner or no , I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see. 26 Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eyes? 27 He answered them, I have told you already, and ye did not hear: wherefore would ye hear it again? will ye also be his disciples? 28 Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are Moses’ disciples. 29 We know that God spake unto Moses: as for this fellow , we know not from whence he is. 30 The man answered and said unto them, Why herein is a marvellous thing, that ye know not from whence he is, and yet he hath opened mine eyes. 31 Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth. 32 Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind. 33 If this man were not of God, he could do nothing. 34 They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out. 35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God? 36 He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him? 37 And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee. 38 And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.
39 ¶ And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind. 40 And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also? 41 Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.
1 Un garām ejot, viņš ieraudzīja cilvēku, kas no dzimšanas bija neredzīgs.
2 Viņa mācekļi viņam jautāja: „Rabi, kas ir grēkojis, viņš pats, vai viņa vecāki, ka viņš neredzīgs piedzimis?“
3 Jēzus atbildēja: „Ne viņš ir grēkojis, ne viņa vecāki: bet Dieva darbiem vajaga parādīties viņā.
4 Man nākas strādāt tā darbus, kas mani sūtījis, kamēr ir diena; nāk nakts, kad neviens nevar strādāt.
5 Kamēr es esmu pasaulē, es esmu pasaules gaisma.“
6 To sacījis, viņš spļāva zemē, taisīja no siekalām svaidāmo, uzlika šo svaidāmo uz viņa acīm
7 Un sacīja viņam: „Ej, mazgājies Ziloas [t. i. tulkojumā „sūtītais“] dīķī!“ Tad viņš aizgāja, mazgājās un pārnāca redzīgs.
8 Tad kaimiņi un citi, kas viņu iepriekš bija redzējuši, ka viņš ubagoja, sacīja: „Vai šis nav tas, kas sēdēja un ubagoja?“
9 Daži sacīja: „Viņš tas ir; citi tur-pretim: „Nē, bet viņš tam līdzīgs.“ Viņš pats sacīja: „Es tas esmu.“
10 Tad tie viņam sacīja: „Kā tad tavas acis ir atvērušās?“
11 Viņš atbildēja: „Cilvēks, kupu sauc Jēzu, iztaisīja svaidāmo, svaidīja ar to manas acis un sacīja man: Ej uz Zilou un mazgājies! Tad es aizgāju, mazgājos un kļuvu redzīgs.“
12 Tie viņam jautāja: „Kur viņš ir?“ Viņš sacīja: „Es nezinu.“
13 Tad viņi šo agrāk neredzīgo cilvēku aizveda pie farizējiem.
14 Bet tā diena bija sabats, kad Jēzus bija taisījis svaidāmo un bija atvēris viņa acis.
15 Arī farizēji viņu atkal jautāja, kā viņš ticis redzīgs. Viņš sacīja tiem: „Viņš uzlika svaidāmo uz acīm, es maz-gājos un—varu redzēt.“
16 Tad daži farizēji sacīja: „Šis cil-vēks nav no Dieva, jo viņš nesvētī sabatu.“ Bet citi sacīja: „Kā grēcīgs cilvēks var darīt tādas zīmes?“ Un tie sāka šķelties savā starpā.
17 Tad viņi atkal saka neredzīgajam: „Ko tu pats saki par viņu, ka viņš atvēris tavas acis?“ Tas sacīja: „Viņš ir pravietis.“
18 Bet jūdi neticēja tam, ka viņš bijis neredzīgs un kļuvis redzīgs, kamēr tie nebija atsaukuši izdziedinātā cilvēka vecākus.
19 Viņi tiem jautāja: „Vai šis ir jūsu dēls, par kuru jūs sakāt, ka tas neredzīgs dzimis? Kā tad viņš tagad var redzēt?“
20 Viņa vecāki atbildēja: „Mēs zinām, ka viņš ir mūsu dēls un ka viņš neredzīgs piedzimis;
21 Bet kā viņš tagad var redzēt, to mēs nezinām; tāpat nezinām, kas viņam atvēris acis. Jautājiet viņam pašam, viņš ir pilngadīgs, viņš pats par sevi atbildēs.“
22 Tā viņa vecāki runāja, baidīdamies no jūdiem; jo jūdi jau bija sarunājušies katru, kas viņu apliecinātu par Kristu, izslēgt no draudzes.
23 Tāpēc viņa vecāki sacīja: „Viņš ir pilngadīgs, jautājiet viņam pašam!“
24 Pēc tam viņi otrreiz pasauca cilvēku, kas bija neredzīgs bijis, un sacīja viņam: „Dod Dievam godu! Mēs zinām, ka šis cilvēks ir grēcinieks.“
25 Tad tas atbildēja: „Vai viņš ir grēcinieks, to es nezinu; vienu es zinu, ka es, neredzīgais, tagad varu redzēt.“
26 Viņi tam sacīja: „Ko viņš ar tevi darīja? Kā viņš atvēra tavas acis?“
27 Viņš tiem atbildēja: „Es jums jau teicu, bet jūs neesat klausījuši. Kāpēc jūs to vēlreiz gribat dzirdēt? Jūs taču negribat kļūt par viņa mācekļiem?“
28 Tad tie viņu nolamāja un sacīja: „Tu esi viņa māceklis, bet mēs esam Mozus mācekļi.
29 Mēs zinām, ka ar Mozu ir runājis Dievs; bet par šo mēs nezinām, no kurienes viņš ir.“
30 Izdziedinātais viņiem atbildēja: „Tas jau ir tas dīvainais, ka jūs nezināt, no kurienes viņš ir, un tomēr viņš ir atvēris manas acis.
31 Mēs zinām, ka Dievs grēciniekus neklausa, bet, ja kāds ir dievbijīgs un dara Dieva prātu, to viņš klausa.
32 Ne mūžam vēl nav dzirdēts, ka kāds būtu atvēris acis cilvēkam, kas neredzīgs piedzimis.
33 Ja viņš nebūtu no Dieva, viņš neko nevarētu darīt.“
34 Tie viņam atbildēja: „Tu viss esi grēkos dzimis un tu mūs gribi mācīt?“ Un tie viņu izdzina ārā.
35 Jēzus dabūja zināt, ka viņi to izdzmuši ārā. Saticis to, viņš sacīja: „Vai tu tici Cilvēka Dēlam?“
36 Tas atbildēja: „Kungs, kas tas ir, lai es varētu viņam ticēt?“
37 Jēzus viņam sacīja: „Tu esi viņu redzējis; kas ar tevi runā, tas tas ir.“
38 Viņš teica: „Es ticu, Kungs!“ un to pielūdza.
39 Un Jēzus sacīja: „Uz tiesu es esmu nācis šinī pasaulē, lai tie, kas neredz, kļūst redzīgi, un tie, kas redz, akli.“
40 To dzirdēja daži farizēji, kas bija pie viņa, un viņam sacīja: „Mēs taču neesam akli?“
41 Jēzus viņiem sacīja: „Ja jūs būtu akli, jums nebūtu grēka; bet tagad jūs sakāt: Mēs redzam; tāpēc jūsu grēks paliek.“
