1Now as Jesus passed by, He saw a man who was blind from birth. 2And His disciples asked Him, saying, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?" 3Jesus answered, "Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but that the works of God should be revealed in him. 4I must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; the night is coming when no one can work. 5As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world." 6When He had said these things, He spat on the ground and made clay with the saliva; and He anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay. 7And He said to him, "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam" (which is translated, Sent). So he went and washed, and came back seeing. 8Therefore the neighbors and those who previously had seen that he was blind said, "Is not this he who sat and begged?" 9Some said, "This is he." Others said, "He is like him." He said, "I am he." 10Therefore they said to him, "How were your eyes opened?" 11He answered and said, "A Man called Jesus made clay and anointed my eyes and said to me, "Go to the pool of Siloam and wash.' So I went and washed, and I received sight." 12Then they said to him, "Where is He?" He said, "I do not know." 13They brought him who formerly was blind to the Pharisees. 14Now it was a Sabbath when Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes. 15Then the Pharisees also asked him again how he had received his sight. He said to them, "He put clay on my eyes, and I washed, and I see." 16Therefore some of the Pharisees said, "This Man is not from God, because He does not keep the Sabbath." Others said, "How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?" And there was a division among them. 17They said to the blind man again, "What do you say about Him because He opened your 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 who had received his sight. 19And they asked them, saying, "Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then does 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 sees we do not know, or who opened his eyes we do not know. He is of age; ask him. He will speak for himself." 22His parents said these things because they feared the Jews, for the Jews had agreed already that if anyone confessed that He was Christ, he would be put out of the synagogue. 23Therefore his parents said, "He is of age; ask him." 24So they again called the man who was blind, and said to him, "Give God the glory! We know that this Man is a sinner." 25He answered and said, "Whether He is a sinner or not I do not know. One thing I know: that though I was blind, now I see." 26Then they said to him again, "What did He do to you? How did He open your eyes?" 27He answered them, "I told you already, and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you also want to become His disciples?" 28Then they reviled him and said, "You are His disciple, but we are Moses' disciples. 29We know that God spoke to Moses; as for this fellow, we do not know where He is from." 30The man answered and said to them, "Why, this is a marvelous thing, that you do not know where He is from; yet He has opened my eyes! 31Now we know that God does not hear sinners; but if anyone is a worshiper of God and does His will, He hears him. 32Since the world began it has been unheard of that anyone opened the eyes of one who was born blind. 33If this Man were not from God, He could do nothing." 34They answered and said to him, "You were completely born in sins, and are you teaching us?" And they cast him out. 35Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when He had found him, He said to him, "Do you believe in the Son of God?" 36He answered and said, "Who is He, Lord, that I may believe in Him?" 37And Jesus said to him, "You have both seen Him and it is He who is talking with you." 38Then he said, "Lord, I believe!" And he worshiped Him.
١ وَفِيمَا هُوَ مُجْتَازٌ رَأَى إِنْسَانًا أَعْمَى مُنْذُ وِلَادَتِهِ، ٢فَسَأَلَهُ تَلَامِيذُهُ قَائِلِينَ: «يَا مُعَلِّمُ، مَنْ أَخْطَأَ: هَذَا أَمْ أَبَوَاهُ حَتَّى وُلِدَ أَعْمَى؟». ٣أَجَابَ يَسُوعُ: «لَا هَذَا أَخْطَأَ وَلَا أَبَوَاهُ، لَكِنْ لِتَظْهَرَ أَعْمَالُ ٱللهِ فِيهِ. ٤يَنْبَغِي أَنْ أَعْمَلَ أَعْمَالَ ٱلَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي مَا دَامَ نَهَارٌ. يَأْتِي لَيْلٌ حِينَ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يَعْمَلَ. ٥مَا دُمْتُ فِي ٱلْعَالَمِ فَأَنَا نُورُ ٱلْعَالَمِ». ٦قَالَ هَذَا وَتَفَلَ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَصَنَعَ مِنَ ٱلتُّفْلِ طِينًا وَطَلَى بِٱلطِّينِ عَيْنَيِ ٱلْأَعْمَى. ٧وَقَالَ لَهُ: «ٱذْهَبِ ٱغْتَسِلْ فِي بِرْكَةِ سِلْوَامَ» ٱلَّذِي تَفْسِيرُهُ: مُرْسَلٌ، فَمَضَى وَٱغْتَسَلَ وَأَتَى بَصِيرًا. ٨فَٱلْجِيرَانُ وَٱلَّذِينَ كَانُوا يَرَوْنَهُ قَبْلًا أَنَّهُ كَانَ أَعْمَى، قَالُوا: «أَلَيْسَ هَذَا هُوَ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ يَجْلِسُ وَيَسْتَعْطِي؟». ٩آخَرُونَ قَالُوا: «هَذَا هُوَ». وَآخَرُونَ: «إِنَّهُ يُشْبِهُهُ». وَأَمَّا هُوَ فَقَالَ: «إِنِّي أَنَا هُوَ». ١٠فَقَالُوا لَهُ: «كَيْفَ ٱنْفَتَحَتْ عَيْنَاكَ؟». ١١أَجَابَ ذَاكَ وقَالَ: «إِنْسَانٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ يَسُوعُ صَنَعَ طِينًا وَطَلَى عَيْنَيَّ، وَقَالَ لِي: ٱذْهَبْ إِلَى بِرْكَةِ سِلْوَامَ وَٱغْتَسِلْ. فَمَضَيْتُ وَٱغْتَسَلْتُ فَأَبْصَرْتُ». ١٢فَقَالُوا لَهُ: «أَيْنَ ذَاكَ؟». قَالَ: «لَا أَعْلَمُ». ١٣ فَأَتَوْا إِلَى ٱلْفَرِّيسِيِّينَ بِٱلَّذِي كَانَ قَبْلًا أَعْمَى. ١٤وَكَانَ سَبْتٌ حِينَ صَنَعَ يَسُوعُ ٱلطِّينَ وَفَتَحَ عَيْنَيْهِ. ١٥فَسَأَلَهُ ٱلْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ أَيْضًا كَيْفَ أَبْصَرَ، فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «وَضَعَ طِينًا عَلَى عَيْنَيَّ وَٱغْتَسَلْتُ، فَأَنَا أُبْصِرُ». ١٦فَقَالَ قَوْمٌ مِنَ ٱلْفَرِّيسِيِّينَ: «هَذَا ٱلْإِنْسَانُ لَيْسَ مِنَ ٱللهِ، لِأَنَّهُ لَا يَحْفَظُ ٱلسَّبْتَ». آخَرُونَ قَالُوا: «كَيْفَ يَقْدِرُ إِنْسَانٌ خَاطِئٌ أَنْ يَعْمَلَ مِثْلَ هَذِهِ ٱلْآيَاتِ؟». وَكَانَ بَيْنَهُمُ ٱنْشِقَاقٌ. ١٧قَالُوا أَيْضًا لِلْأَعْمَى: «مَاذَا تَقُولُ أَنْتَ عَنْهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ إِنَّهُ فَتَحَ عَيْنَيْكَ؟». فَقَالَ: «إِنَّهُ نَبِيٌّ!». ١٨فَلَمْ يُصَدِّقِ ٱلْيَهُودُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ كَانَ أَعْمَى فَأَبْصَرَ حَتَّى دَعَوْا أَبَوَيِ ٱلَّذِي أَبْصَرَ. ١٩فَسَأَلُوهُمَا قَائِلِينَ: «أَهَذَا ٱبْنُكُمَا ٱلَّذِي تَقُولَانِ إِنَّهُ وُلِدَ أَعْمَى؟ فَكَيْفَ يُبْصِرُ ٱلْآنَ؟». ٢٠أَجَابَهُمْ أَبَوَاهُ وَقَالَا: «نَعْلَمُ أَنَّ هَذَا ٱبْنُنَا، وَأَنَّهُ وُلِدَ أَعْمَى. ٢١وَأَمَّا كَيْفَ يُبْصِرُ ٱلْآنَ فَلَا نَعْلَمُ. أَوْ مَنْ فَتَحَ عَيْنَيْهِ فَلَا نَعْلَمُ. هُوَ كَامِلُ ٱلسِّنِّ. ٱسْأَلُوهُ فَهُوَ يَتَكَلَّمُ عَنْ نَفْسِهِ». ٢٢قَالَ أَبَوَاهُ هَذَا لِأَنَّهُمَا كَانَا يَخَافَانِ مِنَ ٱلْيَهُودِ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْيَهُودَ كَانُوا قَدْ تَعَاهَدُوا أَنَّهُ إِنِ ٱعْتَرَفَ أَحَدٌ بِأَنَّهُ ٱلْمَسِيحُ يُخْرَجُ مِنَ ٱلْمَجْمَعِ. ٢٣لِذَلِكَ قَالَ أَبَوَاهُ: «إِنَّهُ كَامِلُ ٱلسِّنِّ، ٱسْأَلُوهُ». ٢٤فَدَعَوْا ثَانِيَةً ٱلْإِنْسَانَ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ أَعْمَى، وَقَالُوا لَهُ: «أَعْطِ مَجْدًا لِلهِ. نَحْنُ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّ هَذَا ٱلْإِنْسَانَ خَاطِئٌ». ٢٥فَأَجَابَ ذَاكَ وَقَالَ: «أَخَاطِئٌ هُوَ؟ لَسْتُ أَعْلَمُ. إِنَّمَا أَعْلَمُ شَيْئًا وَاحِدًا: أَنِّي كُنْتُ أَعْمَى وَٱلْآنَ أُبْصِرُ». ٢٦فَقَالُوا لَهُ أَيْضًا: «مَاذَا صَنَعَ بِكَ؟ كَيْفَ فَتَحَ عَيْنَيْكَ؟». ٢٧أَجَابَهُمْ: «قَدْ قُلْتُ لَكُمْ وَلَمْ تَسْمَعُوا. لِمَاذَا تُرِيدُونَ أَنْ تَسْمَعُوا أَيْضًا؟ أَلَعَلَّكُمْ أَنْتُمْ تُرِيدُونَ أَنْ تَصِيرُوا لَهُ تَلَامِيذَ؟». ٢٨فَشَتَمُوهُ وَقَالُوا: «أَنْتَ تِلْمِيذُ ذَاكَ، وَأَمَّا نَحْنُ فَإِنَّنَا تَلَامِيذُ مُوسَى. ٢٩نَحْنُ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّ مُوسَى كَلَّمَهُ ٱللهُ، وَأَمَّا هَذَا فَمَا نَعْلَمُ مِنْ أَيْنَ هُوَ». ٣٠أَجَابَ ٱلرَّجُلُ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «إِنَّ فِي هَذَا عَجَبًا! إِنَّكُمْ لَسْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ مِنْ أَيْنَ هُوَ، وَقَدْ فَتَحَ عَيْنَيَّ. ٣١وَنَعْلَمُ أَنَّ ٱللهَ لَا يَسْمَعُ لِلْخُطَاةِ. وَلَكِنْ إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ يَتَّقِي ٱللهَ وَيَفْعَلُ مَشِيئَتَهُ، فَلِهَذَا يَسْمَعُ. ٣٢مُنْذُ ٱلدَّهْرِ لَمْ يُسْمَعْ أَنَّ أَحَدًا فَتَحَ عَيْنَيْ مَوْلُودٍ أَعْمَى. ٣٣لَوْ لَمْ يَكُنْ هَذَا مِنَ ٱللهِ لَمْ يَقْدِرْ أَنْ يَفْعَلَ شَيْئًا». ٣٤أجَابُوا وَقَالُوا لَهُ: «فِي ٱلْخَطَايَا وُلِدْتَ أَنْتَ بِجُمْلَتِكَ، وَأَنْتَ تُعَلِّمُنَا!». فَأَخْرَجُوهُ خَارِجًا. ٣٥ فَسَمِعَ يَسُوعُ أَنَّهُمْ أَخْرَجُوهُ خَارِجًا، فَوَجَدَهُ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «أَتُؤْمِنُ بِٱبْنِ ٱللهِ؟». ٣٦أَجَابَ ذَاكَ وَقَالَ: «مَنْ هُوَ يَا سَيِّدُ لِأُومِنَ بِهِ؟». ٣٧فَقَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «قَدْ رَأَيْتَهُ، وَٱلَّذِي يَتَكَلَّمُ مَعَكَ هُوَ هُوَ!». ٣٨فَقَالَ: «أُومِنُ يَا سَيِّدُ!». وَسَجَدَ لَهُ.
Glory be to God forever. Amen.
