¹And passing by, he saw a man blind from birth,

¹ܘܟܕ ܥܒܪ ܚܙܐ ܓܒܪܐ ܤܡܝܐ ܕܡܢ ܟܪܤ ܐܡܗ ܀

²and his disciples asked him, saying, `Rabbi, who did sin, this one or his parents, that he should be born blind?`

²ܘܫܐܠܘܗܝ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܪܒܢ ܡܢܘ ܚܛܐ ܗܢܐ ܐܘ ܐܒܗܘܗܝ ܕܟܕ ܤܡܐ ܢܬܝܠܕ ܀

³Jesus answered, `Neither did this one sin nor his parents, but that the works of God may be manifested in him;

³ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܐ ܗܘ ܚܛܐ ܘܠܐ ܐܒܗܘܗܝ ܐܠܐ ܕܢܬܚܙܘܢ ܒܗ ܥܒܕܘܗܝ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܀

⁴it behoveth me to be working the works of Him who sent me while it is day; night doth come, when no one is able to work: —

⁴ܠܝ ܘܠܐ ܠܡܥܒܕ ܥܒܕܐ ܕܡܢ ܕܫܕܪܢܝ ܥܕ ܐܝܡܡܐ ܗܘ ܐܬܐ ܠܠܝܐ ܕܐܢܫ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܠܡܦܠܚ ܀

⁵when I am in the world, I am a light of the world.`

⁵ܟܡܐ ܕܒܥܠܡܐ ܐܢܐ ܢܘܗܪܗ ܐܢܐ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܀

⁶These things saying, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and rubbed the clay on the eyes of the blind man, and said to him,

⁶ܘܟܕ ܐܡܪ ܗܠܝܢ ܪܩ ܥܠ ܐܪܥܐ ܘܓܒܠ ܛܝܢܐ ܡܢ ܪܘܩܗ ܘܛܫ ܥܠ ܥܝܢܘܗܝ ܕܗܘ ܤܡܝܐ ܀

⁷`Go away, wash at the pool of Siloam,` which is, interpreted, Sent. He went away, therefore, and did wash, and came seeing;

⁷ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܙܠ ܐܫܝܓ ܒܡܥܡܘܕܝܬܐ ܕܫܝܠܘܚܐ ܘܐܙܠ ܐܫܝܓ ܘܐܬܐ ܟܕ ܚܙܐ ܀

⁸the neighbours, therefore, and those seeing him before, that he was blind, said, `Is not this he who is sitting and begging?`

⁸ܫܒܒܘܗܝ ܕܝܢ ܘܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܚܙܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܢ ܩܕܝܡ ܕܚܕܪ ܗܘܐ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܗܢܘ ܗܘ ܕܝܬܒ ܗܘܐ ܘܚܕܪ ܀

⁹others said — `This is he;` and others — `He is like to him;` he himself said, — `I am [he].`

⁹ܐܝܬ ܕܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܕܗܘܝܘ ܘܐܝܬ ܕܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܐ ܐܠܐ ܡܕܡܐ ܕܡܐ ܠܗ ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܗܘܐ ܕܐܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܀

¹⁰They said, therefore, to him, `How were thine eyes opened?`

¹⁰ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܐܬܦܬܚ ܥܝܢܝܟ ܀

¹¹he answered and said, `A man called Jesus made clay, and rubbed my eyes, and said to me, Go away to the pool of Siloam, and wash; and having gone away and having washed, I received sight;`

¹¹ܥܢܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܓܒܪܐ ܕܫܡܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܥܒܕ ܛܝܢܐ ܘܛܫ ܠܝ ܥܠ ܥܝܢܝ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܝ ܙܠ ܐܫܝܓ ܒܡܝܐ ܕܫܝܠܘܚܐ ܘܐܙܠܬ ܐܫܝܓܬ ܘܐܬܚܙܝ ܠܝ ܀

¹²they said, therefore, to him, `Where is that one?` he saith, `I have not known.`

¹²ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܐܝܟܘ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܐ ܝܕܥ ܐܢܐ ܀

¹³They bring him to the Pharisees who once [was] blind,

¹³ܘܐܝܬܝܘܗܝ ܠܗܘ ܕܡܢ ܩܕܝܡ ܤܡܝܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܘܬ ܦܪܝܫܐ ܀

¹⁴and it was a sabbath when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.

¹⁴ܐܝܬܝܗ ܗܘܬ ܕܝܢ ܫܒܬܐ ܟܕ ܥܒܕ ܛܝܢܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܦܬܚ ܠܗ ܥܝܢܘܗܝ ܀

¹⁵Again, therefore, the Pharisees also were asking him how he received sight, and he said to them, `Clay he did put upon my eyes, and I did wash — and I see.`

¹⁵ܘܬܘܒ ܫܐܠܘܗܝ ܦܪܝܫܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܐܬܚܙܝ ܠܟ ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܛܝܢܐ ܤܡ ܥܠ ܥܝܢܝ ܘܐܫܝܓܬ ܘܐܬܚܙܝ ܠܝ ܀

¹⁶Of the Pharisees, therefore, certain said, `This man is not from God, because the sabbath he doth not keep;` others said, `How is a man — a sinful one — able to do such signs?` and there was a division among them.

¹⁶ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܐܢܫܐ ܡܢ ܦܪܝܫܐ ܗܢܐ ܓܒܪܐ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܗܘ ܕܫܒܬܐ ܠܐ ܢܛܪ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܓܒܪܐ ܚܛܝܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܐܬܘܬܐ ܠܡܥܒܕ ܘܦܠܓܘܬܐ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܬ ܒܝܢܬܗܘܢ ܀

¹⁷They said to the blind man again, `Thou — what dost thou say of him — that he opened thine eyes?`

¹⁷ܐܡܪܝܢ ܬܘܒ ܠܗܘ ܤܡܝܐ ܐܢܬ ܡܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܬ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܕܦܬܚ ܠܟ ܥܝܢܝܟ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܕܢܒܝܐ ܗܘ ܀

¹⁸and he said — `He is a prophet.` The Jews, therefore, did not believe concerning him that he was blind and did receive sight, till that they called the parents of him who received sight,

¹⁸ܠܐ ܕܝܢ ܗܝܡܢܘ ܗܘܘ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܕܤܡܝܐ ܗܘܐ ܘܚܙܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܕܩܪܘ ܠܐܒܗܘܗܝ ܕܗܘ ܕܚܙܐ ܀

¹⁹and they asked them, saying, `Is your son, of whom ye say that he was born blind? how then now doth he see?`

¹⁹ܘܫܐܠܘ ܐܢܘܢ ܐܢ ܗܢܘ ܒܪܟܘܢ ܗܘ ܕܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܟܕ ܤܡܐ ܐܬܝܠܕ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܗܫܐ ܚܙܐ ܀

²⁰His parents answered them and said, `We have known that this is our son, and that he was born blind;

²⁰ܥܢܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܒܗܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪܘ ܝܕܥܝܢܢ ܕܗܢܘ ܒܪܢ ܘܕܟܕ ܤܡܐ ܐܬܝܠܕ ܀

²¹and how he now seeth, we have not known; or who opened his eyes, we have not known; himself is of age, ask him; he himself shall speak concerning himself.`

²¹ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܗܫܐ ܚܙܐ ܐܘ ܡܢܘ ܦܬܚ ܠܗ ܥܝܢܘܗܝ ܠܐ ܝܕܥܝܢܢ ܐܦ ܗܘ ܥܠ ܠܗ ܠܫܢܘܗܝ ܠܗ ܫܐܠܘ ܗܘ ܚܠܦ ܢܦܫܗ ܢܡܠܠ ܀

²²These things said his parents, because they were afraid of the Jews, for already had the Jews agreed together, that if any one may confess him — Christ, he may be put out of the synagogue;

²²ܗܠܝܢ ܐܡܪܘ ܐܒܗܘܗܝ ܡܛܠ ܕܕܚܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܡܢ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܦܤܩܘ ܗܘܘ ܓܝܪ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܕܐܢ ܐܢܫ ܢܘܕܐ ܒܗ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܗܘ ܢܦܩܘܢܝܗܝ ܡܢ ܟܢܘܫܬܐ ܀

²³because of this his parents said — `He is of age, ask him.`

²³ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܐܡܪܘ ܐܒܗܘܗܝ ܕܥܠ ܠܗ ܠܫܢܘܗܝ ܠܗ ܫܐܠܘ ܀

²⁴They called, therefore, a second time the man who was blind, and they said to him, `Give glory to God, we have known that this man is a sinner;`

²⁴ܘܩܪܐܘܗܝ ܠܓܒܪܐ ܕܬܪܬܝܢ ܙܒܢܝܢ ܠܗܘ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܗܘܐ ܤܡܝܐ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܫܒܚ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܚܢܢ ܓܝܪ ܝܕܥܝܢܢ ܕܗܢܐ ܓܒܪܐ ܚܛܝܐ ܗܘ ܀

²⁵he answered, therefore, and said, `If he be a sinner — I have not known, one thing I have known, that, being blind, now I see.`

²⁵ܥܢܐ ܗܘ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܢ ܚܛܝܐ ܗܘ ܠܐ ܝܕܥ ܐܢܐ ܚܕܐ ܕܝܢ ܝܕܥ ܐܢܐ ܕܤܡܝܐ ܗܘܝܬ ܘܗܫܐ ܗܐ ܚܙܐ ܐܢܐ ܀

²⁶And they said to him again, `What did he to thee? how did he open thine eyes?`

²⁶ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܬܘܒ ܡܢܐ ܥܒܕ ܠܟ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܦܬܚ ܠܟ ܥܝܢܝܟ ܀

²⁷He answered them, `I told you already, and ye did not hear; why again do ye wish to hear? do ye also wish to become his disciples?`

²⁷ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܡܪܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܫܡܥܬܘܢ ܡܢܐ ܬܘܒ ܨܒܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܡܫܡܥ ܠܡܐ ܐܦ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܨܒܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܡܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܀

²⁸They reviled him, therefore, and said, `Thou art his disciple, and we are Moses` disciples;

²⁸ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܨܚܝܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܐܢܬ ܗܘ ܬܠܡܝܕܗ ܕܗܘ ܚܢܢ ܓܝܪ ܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܚܢܢ ܕܡܘܫܐ ܀

²⁹we have known that God hath spoken to Moses, but this one — we have not known whence he is.`

²⁹ܘܝܕܥܝܢܢ ܕܥܡ ܡܘܫܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܡܠܠ ܠܗܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܠܐ ܝܕܥܝܢܢ ܡܢ ܐܝܡܟܐ ܗܘ ܀

³⁰The man answered and said to them, `Why, in this is a wonderful thing, that ye have not known whence he is, and he opened my eyes!

³⁰ܥܢܐ ܗܘ ܓܒܪܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܒܗܕܐ ܗܘ ܗܟܝܠ ܠܡܬܕܡܪܘ ܕܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܐ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܢ ܐܝܡܟܐ ܗܘ ܘܥܝܢܝ ܕܝܠܝ ܦܬܚ ܀

³¹and we have known that God doth not hear sinners, but, if any one may be a worshipper of God, and may do His will, him He doth hear;

³¹ܝܕܥܝܢ ܚܢܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܒܩܠܐ ܕܚܛܝܐ ܠܐ ܫܡܥ ܐܠܐ ܠܡܢ ܕܕܚܠ ܡܢܗ ܘܥܒܕ ܨܒܝܢܗ ܠܗܘ ܗܘ ܫܡܥ ܀

³²from the age it was not heard, that any one did open eyes of one who hath been born blind;

³²ܡܢ ܥܠܡ ܠܐ ܐܫܬܡܥܬ ܕܦܬܚ ܐܢܫ ܥܝܢܐ ܕܤܡܝܐ ܕܐܬܝܠܕ ܀

³³if this one were not from God, he were not able to do anything.`

³³ܐܠܘ ܠܐ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܗܘܐ ܗܢܐ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܗܘܐ ܗܕܐ ܠܡܥܒܕ ܀

³⁴They answered and said to him, `In sins thou wast born altogether, and thou dost teach us!` and they cast him forth without.

³⁴ܥܢܘ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܐܢܬ ܟܠܟ ܒܚܛܗܐ ܐܬܝܠܕܬ ܘܐܢܬ ܡܠܦ ܐܢܬ ܠܢ ܘܐܦܩܘܗܝ ܠܒܪ ܀

³⁵Jesus heard that they cast him forth without, and having found him, he said to him, `Dost thou believe in the Son of God?`

³⁵ܘܫܡܥ ܝܫܘܥ ܕܐܦܩܘܗܝ ܠܒܪ ܘܐܫܟܚܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܐܢܬ ܡܗܝܡܢ ܐܢܬ ܒܒܪܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܀

³⁶he answered and said, `Who is he, sir, that I may believe in him?`

³⁶ܥܢܐ ܗܘ ܕܐܬܐܤܝ ܘܐܡܪ ܡܢܘ ܡܪܝ ܕܐܗܝܡܢ ܒܗ ܀

³⁷And Jesus said to him, `Thou hast both seen him, and he who is speaking with thee is he;`

³⁷ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܚܙܝܬܝܗܝ ܘܗܘ ܕܡܡܠܠ ܥܡܟ ܗܘܝܘ ܀

³⁸and he said, `I believe, sir,` and bowed before him.

³⁸ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܡܗܝܡܢ ܐܢܐ ܡܪܝ ܘܢܦܠ ܤܓܕ ܠܗ ܀

³⁹And Jesus said, `For judgment I to this world did come, that those not seeing may see, and those seeing may become blind.`

³⁹ܘܐܡܪ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܕܝܢܗ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܐܬܝܬ ܕܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܚܙܝܢ ܢܚܙܘܢ ܘܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܚܙܝܢ ܢܤܡܘܢ ܀

⁴⁰And those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and they said to him, `Are we also blind?`

⁴⁰ܘܫܡܥܘ ܡܢ ܦܪܝܫܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܥܡܗ ܗܘܘ ܗܠܝܢ ܘܐܡܪܘ ܠܗ ܠܡܐ ܐܦ ܚܢܢ ܤܡܝܐ ܚܢܢ ܀

⁴¹Jesus said to them, `If ye were blind, ye were not having had sin, but now ye say — We see, therefore doth your sin remain.

⁴¹ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܠܘ ܤܡܝܐ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܠܝܬ ܗܘܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܚܛܝܬܐ ܗܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܚܙܝܢܢ ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܚܛܝܬܟܘܢ ܩܝܡܐ ܗܝ ܀
