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.
Aklā vīra dziedināšana
1 Garām iedams, viņš ieraudzīja cilvēku, kas bija akls kopš dzimšanas. 2 Mācekļi viņam jautāja: “Rabi, kurš ir grēkojis – viņš pats vai viņa vecāki, ka viņš piedzimis akls?” 3 Jēzus atbildēja: “Nedz šis ir grēkojis, nedz viņa vecāki, bet tas ir tādēļ, lai viņā atklātos Dieva darbi. 4 Kamēr ir diena, mums jādara tā darbi, kas mani sūtījis; nāk nakts, kad neviens nevar strādāt. 5 Kamēr es esmu pasaulē, es esmu pasaules gaisma.” 6 To pateicis, viņš spļāva zemē un no siekalām sataisīja dubļu piku, ar to iezieda neredzīgā acis 7 un sacīja: “Ej, nomazgājies Sīloāmas (kas tiek tulkots: sūtītais) dīķī!” Un viņš aizgāja un nomazgājās, un atnāca redzīgs. 8 Tad kaimiņi un tie, kas viņu bija redzējuši agrāk ubagojam, sacīja: “Vai šis nav tas, kurš sēž un ubago?” 9 Citi sacīja: “Tas ir viņš.” Citi: “Nē, bet viņam līdzīgs.” Bet viņš pats sacīja: “Es tas esmu.” 10 Tad tie viņam jautāja: “Kā tad tavas acis atvērās?” 11 Viņš atbildēja: “Cilvēks, vārdā Jēzus, sataisīja dubļu piku, uzzieda man uz acīm un sacīja: ej uz Sīloāmu un nomazgājies. Es aizgāju, nomazgājos un tagad varu redzēt.” 12 Tie viņam jautāja: “Kur viņš ir?” Viņš teica: “Es nezinu.”
Farizeji iztaujā dziedināto
13 Tad tie viņu, kas reiz bija akls, veda pie farizejiem. 14 Jo tā diena, kad Jēzus sataisīja dubļu piku un atdarīja viņam acis, bija sabats. 15 Tad arī farizeji viņam jautāja, kā viņš kļuvis redzīgs. Viņš tiem sacīja: “Viņš uzlika man uz acīm dubļu piku, es nomazgājos, un nu es redzu.” 16 Daži farizeji teica: “Šis cilvēks nav no Dieva, jo viņš neievēro sabatu.” Bet citi sacīja: “Kā gan grēcīgs cilvēks varētu darīt tādas zīmes?” Un viņu vidū izcēlās šķelšanās. 17 Tad viņi atkal sacīja aklajam: “Ko tu saki par viņu, ka viņš atdarījis tavas acis?” Tas teica: “Viņš ir pravietis.” 18 Bet jūdi neticēja, ka viņš bijis akls un tapis redzīgs, kamēr nebija atsaukuši viņa vecākus. 19 Tiem viņi jautāja: “Vai šis ir jūsu dēls, par kuru jūs sakāt, ka viņš akls piedzimis? Kā tad viņš tagad redz?” 20 Viņa vecāki atbildēja un sacīja: “Mēs zinām, ka viņš ir mūsu dēls un ka viņš piedzimis akls. 21 Bet, kā viņš tagad spēj redzēt, mēs nezinām, un, kurš atdarījis viņa acis, to mēs arī nezinām. Jautājiet viņam, viņš ir pieaudzis, viņš runās par sevi pats.” 22 Tā teica viņa vecāki, jo viņi baidījās no jūdiem, tādēļ ka jūdi bija norunājuši izslēgt no sinagogas ikvienu, kas viņu apliecinātu par Kristu. 23 Tādēļ viņa vecāki sacīja: “Viņš ir pieaudzis, jautājiet viņam pašam.” 24 Tad viņi otrreiz pasauca to, kas bija akls bijis, un viņam sacīja: “Dod Dievam godu! Mēs zinām, ka šis cilvēks ir grēcinieks.” 25 Viņš atbildēja: “Nezinu, vai viņš ir grēcinieks, vienu gan es zinu: es, aklais, tagad redzu.” 26 Tad tie viņam jautāja: “Ko viņš tev darīja? Kā viņš atdarīja tavas acis?” 27 Viņš tiem atbildēja: “Es jums jau teicu, bet jūs neklausījāties. Kādēļ gribat to vēlreiz dzirdēt? Vai arī jūs gribat 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 Tas cilvēks viņiem atbildēja: “Tieši tas ir pārsteidzoši, ka jūs nezināt, no kurienes viņš ir, bet viņš atdarīja manas acis. 31 Mēs zinām, ka grēciniekus Dievs neuzklausa, bet, ja kāds ir dievbijīgs un dara Dieva gribu, tādu viņš uzklausa. 32 Nemūžam nav dzirdēts, ka kāds būtu atdarījis acis tādam, kas akls kopš dzimšanas. 33 Ja viņš nebūtu no Dieva, viņš neko nevarētu darīt.” 34 Tie viņam atbildēja: “Tu viscaur grēkos esi dzimis, un tu mūs mācīsi?” Tad tie viņu izdzina ārā.
Par farizeju garīgo aklumu
35 Jēzus, izdzirdējis, ka tie viņu izdzinuši ārā, atrada viņu un teica: “Vai tu tici Cilvēka Dēlam ?” 36 Tas jautāja: “Bet kurš tad tas ir, Kungs, lai es ticētu viņam?” 37 Jēzus viņam teica: “Tu esi viņu redzējis, un tas, kas ar tevi runā, ir viņš.” 38 Tad tas teica: “Es ticu, Kungs!” – un viņu pielūdza. 39 Un Jēzus sacīja: “Es esmu nācis šajā pasaulē spriest tiesu – lai neredzīgie redzētu un redzīgie taptu akli.” 40 Daži farizeji, kas ar viņu tur bija, to dzirdēja un viņam jautāja: “Vai tad arī mēs esam akli?” 41 Jēzus tiem sacīja: “Ja jūs būtu akli, tad jums nebūtu grēka, bet jūs sakāt: mēs redzam. Un jūsu grēks paliek.”
