1And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.2And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?3Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.4I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.5As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.6When 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,7And 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.8The neighbours therefore, and they which before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?9Some said, This is he: others said, He is like him: but he said, I am he.10Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened?11He 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.12Then said they unto him, Where is he? He said, I know not.13They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind.14And it was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.15Then 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.16Therefore 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.17They say unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is a prophet.18But 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.19And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then doth he now see?20His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind:21But 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.22These 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.23Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him.24Then again called they the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner.25He 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.26Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eyes?27He answered them, I have told you already, and ye did not hear: wherefore would ye hear it again? will ye also be his disciples?28Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are Moses' disciples.29We know that God spake unto Moses: as for this fellow, we know not from whence he is.30The 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.31Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.32Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind.33If this man were not of God, he could do nothing.34They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.35Jesus 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?36He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him?37And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee.38And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.39And 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.40And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also?41Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.
1И когато минаваше, видя един слепороден човек.2И учениците Му Го попитаха: Учителю, поради чий грях – негов ли или на родителите му, той се е родил сляп? (Joh 9:34)3Исус отговори: Нито поради негов грях, нито на родителите му, но за да се изявят в него Божиите дела. (Joh 11:4)4Ние трябва да вършим делата на Този, Който Ме е пратил, докато е ден; идва нощ, когато никой не може да работи. (Joh 4:34; Joh 5:19; Joh 5:36; Joh 11:9; Joh 12:35; Joh 17:4)5Докато съм в света, Аз съм светлината на света. (Isa 42:6; Joh 1:5; Joh 1:9; Joh 3:19; Joh 8:12; Joh 12:35; Joh 12:46)6Като каза това, плю на земята, направи кал с плюнката и намаза с калта очите му; (Mr 7:33; Mr 8:23; Joh 11:37)7и му каза: Иди, умий се в къпалнята Силоам (което значи „пратен“). И така, той отиде, уми се и си дойде у дома прогледнал. (2Ki 5:14; Ne 3:15)8А съседите и онези, които преди го бяха виждали, че беше просяк, питаха: Не е ли този, който седеше и просеше?9Едни казваха: Той е; други казваха: Не е, но прилича на него. Той отвръщаше: Аз съм.10Тогава го попитаха: А как ти се отвориха очите?11Той отговори: Човекът, който се нарича Исус, направи кал, намаза очите ми и ми заръча: Иди на Силоам и се умий. И така, отидох и като се умих, прогледнах. (Joh 9:6; Joh 9:7)12Тогава му казаха: Къде е Той? Отговори: Не зная.13Заведоха при фарисеите човека, който преди беше сляп.14А беше събота, когато Исус направи кал и му отвори очите.15И така, фарисеите също го питаха как е прогледнал. И той им каза: Сложи кал на очите ми, умих се и гледам.16Затова някои от фарисеите казаха: Този човек не е от Бога, защото не пази съботата. А други казваха: Как може грешен човек да върши такива знамения? И възникна раздор помежду им. (Joh 3:2; Joh 7:12; Joh 7:43; Joh 9:33; Joh 10:19)17Попитаха пак слепеца: Ти какво ще кажеш за Него, след като ти е отворил очите? И той каза: Пророк е. (Lu 7:16; Joh 4:19; Joh 6:14)18Но юдеите не вярваха, че е бил сляп и прогледнал, докато не повикаха родителите му19и ги попитаха: Този ли е вашият син, за когото казвате, че се е родил сляп? А сега как вижда?20Родителите отговориха: Знаем, че този е нашият син и че се роди сляп;21а сега как вижда, не знаем, или кой му е отворил очите, също не знаем. Питайте него; той е пълнолетен, нека сам говори за себе си!22Това казаха родителите му, защото се бояха от юдеите; понеже юдеите вече се бяха споразумели помежду си да отлъчат от синагогата онзи, който би Го изповядал като Христос. (Joh 7:13; Joh 9:34; Joh 12:42; Joh 16:2; Joh 19:38; Ac 5:13)23Затова и неговите родители казаха: Той е пълнолетен, питайте него.24И така, повикаха отново човека, който преди беше сляп, и му казаха: Въздай слава на Бога; ние знаем, че този човек е грешник. (Jos 7:19; 1Sa 6:5; Joh 9:16)25А той отговори: Дали е грешник, не зная; едно зная, че бях сляп, а сега виждам.26Затова го попитаха: Какво ти направи? Как ти отвори очите?27Той отговори: Казах ви вече и не чухте; защо искате пак да чуете? Да не би и вие да искате да Му станете ученици?28Тогава те го наругаха и казаха: Ти си Негов ученик; а ние сме Моисееви ученици.29Ние знаем, че на Моисей Сам Бог е говорил, а Този не знаем откъде е. (Ex 3:6; Joh 8:14)30Човекът им отговори: Това е чудното, че вие не знаете откъде е, но въпреки това ми отвори очите. (Joh 3:10)31Знаем, че Бог не слуша грешници; но ако някой е благочестив и върши Божията воля, него слуша. (Job 27:9; Job 35:12; Ps 18:41; Ps 34:15; Ps 66:18; Pr 1:28; Pr 15:29; Pr 28:9; Isa 1:15; Jer 11:11; Jer 14:12; Eze 8:18; Mic 3:4; Zec 7:13)32А откак свят светува, не се е чуло някой да е отворил очи на слепороден човек. (Isa 42:7)33Ако Този Човек не беше от Бога, не би могъл нищо да направи. (Joh 9:16)34Те му отговориха: Ти цял в грехове си роден и нас ли поучаваш? И го изпъдиха навън.35Исус чу, че го изпъдили навън, и като го намери, му каза: Ти вярваш ли в Божия Син? (Mt 14:33; Mt 16:16; Mr 1:1; Joh 10:36; 1Jo 5:13)36Той отговори: А Кой е Той, Господи, за да вярвам в Него?37Исус му каза: И си Го видял, и Който говори с тебе, Той е. (Joh 4:26)38А човекът каза: Вярвам, Господи; и Му се поклони.39И Исус каза: За осъждение дойдох на този свят, за да виждат невиждащите, а виждащите да ослепеят. (Mt 11:15; Mt 13:13; Joh 3:17; Joh 5:22; Joh 5:27; Joh 12:47; 2Co 3:14)40Някои от фарисеите, които бяха с Него, като чуха това, Му казаха: Да не сме и ние слепи? (Ro 2:19)41Исус им каза: Ако бяхте слепи, не бихте имали грях, но понеже сега казвате: Виждаме, грехът ви остава. (Joh 15:22; Joh 15:24)
