Law History Wisdom Prophets Gospels Acts Epistles Apocalyptic
1 As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth. | 1 καὶ παράγων εἶδεν ἄνθρωπον τυφλὸν ἐκ γενετῆς. | |||
2 His disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?" | 2 καὶ ἠρώτησαν αὐτὸν οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ λέγοντες, ῥαββί, τίς ἥμαρτεν, οὖτος ἢ οἱ γονεῖς αὐτοῦ, ἵνα τυφλὸς γεννηθῇ; | |||
3 Jesus answered, "Neither did this man sin, nor his parents; but, that the works of God might be revealed in him. | 3 ἀπεκρίθη ἰησοῦς, οὔτε οὖτος ἥμαρτεν οὔτε οἱ γονεῖς αὐτοῦ, ἀλλ᾽ ἵνα φανερωθῇ τὰ ἔργα τοῦ θεοῦ ἐν αὐτῶ. | |||
4 I must work the works of him who sent me, while it is day. The night is coming, when no one can work. | 4 ἡμᾶς δεῖ ἐργάζεσθαι τὰ ἔργα τοῦ πέμψαντός με ἕως ἡμέρα ἐστίν· ἔρχεται νὺξ ὅτε οὐδεὶς δύναται ἐργάζεσθαι. | |||
5 While I am in the world, I am the light of the world." | 5 ὅταν ἐν τῶ κόσμῳ ὦ, φῶς εἰμι τοῦ κόσμου. | |||
6 When he had said this, he spat on the ground, made mud with the saliva, anointed the blind man's eyes with the mud, | 6 ταῦτα εἰπὼν ἔπτυσεν χαμαὶ καὶ ἐποίησεν πηλὸν ἐκ τοῦ πτύσματος, καὶ ἐπέχρισεν αὐτοῦ τὸν πηλὸν ἐπὶ τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς | |||
7 and said to him, "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam" (which means "Sent"). So he went away, washed, and came back seeing. | 7 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῶ, ὕπαγε νίψαι εἰς τὴν κολυμβήθραν τοῦ σιλωάμ ὃ ἑρμηνεύεται ἀπεσταλμένος. ἀπῆλθεν οὗν καὶ ἐνίψατο, καὶ ἦλθεν βλέπων. | |||
8 The neighbors therefore, and those who saw that he was blind before, said, "Isn't this he who sat and begged?" | 8 οἱ οὗν γείτονες καὶ οἱ θεωροῦντες αὐτὸν τὸ πρότερον ὅτι προσαίτης ἦν ἔλεγον, οὐχ οὖτός ἐστιν ὁ καθήμενος καὶ προσαιτῶν; | |||
9 Others were saying, "It is he." Still others were saying, "He looks like him." He said, "I am he." | 9 ἄλλοι ἔλεγον ὅτι οὖτός ἐστιν· ἄλλοι ἔλεγον, οὐχί, ἀλλὰ ὅμοιος αὐτῶ ἐστιν. ἐκεῖνος ἔλεγεν ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι. | |||
10 They therefore were asking him, "How were your eyes opened?" | 10 ἔλεγον οὗν αὐτῶ, πῶς [οὗν] ἠνεῴχθησάν σου οἱ ὀφθαλμοί; | |||
11 He answered, "A man called Jesus made mud, anointed my eyes, and said to me, 'Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash.' So I went away and washed, and I received sight." | 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 οὗν καὶ νιψάμενος ἀνέβλεψα. | |||
12 Then they asked him, "Where is he?" He said, "I don't know." | 12 καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῶ, ποῦ ἐστιν ἐκεῖνος; λέγει, οὐκ οἶδα. | |||
13 They brought him who had been blind to the Pharisees. | 13 ἄγουσιν αὐτὸν πρὸς τοὺς φαρισαίους τόν ποτε τυφλόν. | |||
14 It was a Sabbath when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes. | 14 ἦν δὲ σάββατον ἐν ᾗ ἡμέρᾳ τὸν πηλὸν ἐποίησεν ὁ ἰησοῦς καὶ ἀνέῳξεν αὐτοῦ τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς. | |||
15 Again therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he received his sight. He said to them, "He put mud on my eyes, I washed, and I see." | 15 πάλιν οὗν ἠρώτων αὐτὸν καὶ οἱ φαρισαῖοι πῶς ἀνέβλεψεν. ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, πηλὸν ἐπέθηκέν μου ἐπὶ τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς, καὶ ἐνιψάμην, καὶ βλέπω. | |||
16 Some therefore of the Pharisees said, "This man is not from God, because he doesn't keep the Sabbath." Others said, "How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?" There was division among them. | 16 ἔλεγον οὗν ἐκ τῶν φαρισαίων τινές, οὐκ ἔστιν οὖτος παρὰ θεοῦ ὁ ἄνθρωπος, ὅτι τὸ σάββατον οὐ τηρεῖ. ἄλλοι [δὲ] ἔλεγον, πῶς δύναται ἄνθρωπος ἁμαρτωλὸς τοιαῦτα σημεῖα ποιεῖν; καὶ σχίσμα ἦν ἐν αὐτοῖς. | |||
17 Therefore they asked the blind man again, "What do you say about him, because he opened your eyes?" He said, "He is a prophet." | 17 λέγουσιν οὗν τῶ τυφλῶ πάλιν, τί σὺ λέγεις περὶ αὐτοῦ, ὅτι ἠνέῳξέν σου τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς; ὁ δὲ εἶπεν ὅτι προφήτης ἐστίν. | |||
18 The Jews therefore did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and had received his sight, until they called the parents of him who had received his sight, | 18 οὐκ ἐπίστευσαν οὗν οἱ ἰουδαῖοι περὶ αὐτοῦ ὅτι ἦν τυφλὸς καὶ ἀνέβλεψεν, ἕως ὅτου ἐφώνησαν τοὺς γονεῖς αὐτοῦ τοῦ ἀναβλέψαντος | |||
19 and asked them, "Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then does he now see?" | 19 καὶ ἠρώτησαν αὐτοὺς λέγοντες, οὖτός ἐστιν ὁ υἱὸς ὑμῶν, ὃν ὑμεῖς λέγετε ὅτι τυφλὸς ἐγεννήθη; πῶς οὗν βλέπει ἄρτι; | |||
20 His parents answered them, "We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind; | 20 ἀπεκρίθησαν οὗν οἱ γονεῖς αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπαν, οἴδαμεν ὅτι οὖτός ἐστιν ὁ υἱὸς ἡμῶν καὶ ὅτι τυφλὸς ἐγεννήθη· | |||
21 but how he now sees, we don't know; or who opened his eyes, we don't know. He is of age. Ask him. He will speak for himself." | 21 πῶς δὲ νῦν βλέπει οὐκ οἴδαμεν, ἢ τίς ἤνοιξεν αὐτοῦ τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς ἡμεῖς οὐκ οἴδαμεν· αὐτὸν ἐρωτήσατε, ἡλικίαν ἔχει, αὐτὸς περὶ ἑαυτοῦ λαλήσει. | |||
22 His parents said these things because they feared the Jews; for the Jews had already agreed that if any man would confess him as Christ, he would be put out of the synagogue. | 22 ταῦτα εἶπαν οἱ γονεῖς αὐτοῦ ὅτι ἐφοβοῦντο τοὺς ἰουδαίους, ἤδη γὰρ συνετέθειντο οἱ ἰουδαῖοι ἵνα ἐάν τις αὐτὸν ὁμολογήσῃ χριστόν, ἀποσυνάγωγος γένηται. | |||
23 Therefore his parents said, "He is of age. Ask him." | 23 διὰ τοῦτο οἱ γονεῖς αὐτοῦ εἶπαν ὅτι ἡλικίαν ἔχει, αὐτὸν ἐπερωτήσατε. | |||
24 So they called the man who was blind a second time, and said to him, "Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner." | 24 ἐφώνησαν οὗν τὸν ἄνθρωπον ἐκ δευτέρου ὃς ἦν τυφλὸς καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῶ, δὸς δόξαν τῶ θεῶ· ἡμεῖς οἴδαμεν ὅτι οὖτος ὁ ἄνθρωπος ἁμαρτωλός ἐστιν. | |||
25 He therefore answered, "I don't know if he is a sinner. One thing I do know: that though I was blind, now I see." | 25 ἀπεκρίθη οὗν ἐκεῖνος, εἰ ἁμαρτωλός ἐστιν οὐκ οἶδα· ἓν οἶδα, ὅτι τυφλὸς ὢν ἄρτι βλέπω. | |||
26 They said to him again, "What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?" | 26 εἶπον οὗν αὐτῶ, τί ἐποίησέν σοι; πῶς ἤνοιξέν σου τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς; | |||
27 He answered them, "I told you already, and you didn't listen. Why do you want to hear it again? You don't also want to become his disciples, do you?" | 27 ἀπεκρίθη αὐτοῖς, εἶπον ὑμῖν ἤδη καὶ οὐκ ἠκούσατε· τί πάλιν θέλετε ἀκούειν; μὴ καὶ ὑμεῖς θέλετε αὐτοῦ μαθηταὶ γενέσθαι; | |||
28 They insulted him and said, "You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses. | 28 καὶ ἐλοιδόρησαν αὐτὸν καὶ εἶπον, σὺ μαθητὴς εἶ ἐκείνου, ἡμεῖς δὲ τοῦ μωϊσέως ἐσμὲν μαθηταί· | |||
29 We know that God has spoken to Moses. But as for this man, we don't know where he comes from." | 29 ἡμεῖς οἴδαμεν ὅτι μωϊσεῖ λελάληκεν ὁ θεός, τοῦτον δὲ οὐκ οἴδαμεν πόθεν ἐστίν. | |||
30 The man answered them, "How amazing! You don't know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes. | 30 ἀπεκρίθη ὁ ἄνθρωπος καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, ἐν τούτῳ γὰρ τὸ θαυμαστόν ἐστιν ὅτι ὑμεῖς οὐκ οἴδατε πόθεν ἐστίν, καὶ ἤνοιξέν μου τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς. | |||
31 We know that God doesn't listen to sinners, but if anyone is a worshipper of God, and does his will, he listens to him. | 31 οἴδαμεν ὅτι ἁμαρτωλῶν ὁ θεὸς οὐκ ἀκούει, ἀλλ᾽ ἐάν τις θεοσεβὴς ᾖ καὶ τὸ θέλημα αὐτοῦ ποιῇ τούτου ἀκούει. | |||
32 Since the world began it has never been heard of that anyone opened the eyes of someone born blind. | 32 ἐκ τοῦ αἰῶνος οὐκ ἠκούσθη ὅτι ἠνέῳξέν τις ὀφθαλμοὺς τυφλοῦ γεγεννημένου· | |||
33 If this man were not from God, he could do nothing." | 33 εἰ μὴ ἦν οὖτος παρὰ θεοῦ, οὐκ ἠδύνατο ποιεῖν οὐδέν. | |||
34 They answered him, "You were altogether born in sins, and do you teach us?" They threw him out. | 34 ἀπεκρίθησαν καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῶ, ἐν ἁμαρτίαις σὺ ἐγεννήθης ὅλος, καὶ σὺ διδάσκεις ἡμᾶς; καὶ ἐξέβαλον αὐτὸν ἔξω. | |||
35 Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and finding him, he said, "Do you believe in the Son of God?" | 35 ἤκουσεν ἰησοῦς ὅτι ἐξέβαλον αὐτὸν ἔξω, καὶ εὑρὼν αὐτὸν εἶπεν, σὺ πιστεύεις εἰς τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου; | |||
36 He answered, "Who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him?" | 36 ἀπεκρίθη ἐκεῖνος καὶ εἶπεν, καὶ τίς ἐστιν, κύριε, ἵνα πιστεύσω εἰς αὐτόν; | |||
37 Jesus said to him, "You have both seen him, and it is he who speaks with you." | 37 εἶπεν αὐτῶ ὁ ἰησοῦς, καὶ ἑώρακας αὐτὸν καὶ ὁ λαλῶν μετὰ σοῦ ἐκεῖνός ἐστιν. | |||
38 He said, "Lord, I believe!" and he worshiped him. | 38 ὁ δὲ ἔφη, πιστεύω, κύριε· καὶ προσεκύνησεν αὐτῶ. | |||
39 Jesus said, "I came into this world for judgment, that those who don't see may see; and that those who see may become blind." | 39 καὶ εἶπεν ὁ ἰησοῦς, εἰς κρίμα ἐγὼ εἰς τὸν κόσμον τοῦτον ἦλθον, ἵνα οἱ μὴ βλέποντες βλέπωσιν καὶ οἱ βλέποντες τυφλοὶ γένωνται. | |||
40 Those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and said to him, "Are we also blind?" | 40 ἤκουσαν ἐκ τῶν φαρισαίων ταῦτα οἱ μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ ὄντες, καὶ εἶπον αὐτῶ, μὴ καὶ ἡμεῖς τυφλοί ἐσμεν; | |||
41 Jesus said to them, "If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say, 'We see.' Therefore your sin remains. | 41 εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ὁ ἰησοῦς, εἰ τυφλοὶ ἦτε, οὐκ ἂν εἴχετε ἁμαρτίαν· νῦν δὲ λέγετε ὅτι βλέπομεν· ἡ ἁμαρτία ὑμῶν μένει. | |||
