1[] Και ενω ανεχωρει, ειδεν ανθρωπον τυφλον εκ γενετης.
1As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth.
2Και ηρωτησαν αυτον οι μαθηται αυτου, λεγοντες· Ραββι, τις ημαρτεν, ουτος η οι γονεις αυτου, ωστε να γεννηθη τυφλος;
2His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”
3Απεκριθη ο Ιησους· Ουτε ουτος ημαρτεν ουτε οι γονεις αυτου, αλλα δια να φανερωθωσι τα εργα του Θεου εν αυτω.
3Jesus answered, “Neither did this man sin, nor his parents; but, that the works of God might be revealed in him.
4Εγω πρεπει να εργαζωμαι τα εργα του πεμψαντος με, εωσου ειναι ημερα· ερχεται νυξ οτε ουδεις δυναται να εργαζηται.
4 I must work the works of him who sent me, while it is day. The night is coming, when no one can work.
5Ενοσω ειμαι εν τω κοσμω, ειμαι φως του κοσμου.
5 While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”
6Αφου ειπε ταυτα, επτυσε χαμαι και εκαμε πηλον εκ του πτυσματος και επεχρισε τον πηλον επι τους οφθαλμους του τυφλου
6When he had said this, he spat on the ground, made mud with the saliva, anointed the blind man’s eyes with the mud,
7και ειπε προς αυτον· Υπαγε, νιφθητι εις την κολυμβηθραν του Σιλωαμ, το οποιον ερμηνευεται απεσταλμενος. Υπηγε λοιπον και ενιφθη, και ηλθε βλεπων.
7and said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which means “Sent”). So he went away, washed, and came back seeing.
8[] Οι δε γειτονες και οσοι εβλεπον αυτον προτερον οτι ητο τυφλος ελεγον δεν ειναι ουτος, οστις εκαθητο και εζητει;
8The neighbors therefore, and those who saw that he was blind before, said, “Isn’t this he who sat and begged?”
9Αλλοι ελεγον οτι ουτος ειναι· αλλοι δε οτι ομοιος αυτου ειναι. Εκεινος ελεγεν οτι εγω ειμαι.
9Others were saying, “It is he.” Still others were saying, “He looks like him.” He said, “I am he.”
10Ελεγον λοιπον προς αυτον· Πως ηνοιχθησαν οι οφθαλμοι σου;
10They therefore were asking him, “How were your eyes opened?”
11Απεκριθη εκεινος και ειπεν· Ανθρωπος λεγομενος Ιησους εκαμε πηλον και επεχρισε τους οφθαλμους μου και μοι ειπεν· Υπαγε εις την κολυμβηθραν του Σιλωαμ και νιφθητι· αφου δε υπηγα και ενιφθην, ανεβλεψα.
11He 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.”
12Ειπον λοιπον προς αυτον· Που ειναι εκεινος; Λεγει· Δεν εξευρω.
12Then they asked him, “Where is he?” He said, “I don’t know.”
13[] Φερουσιν αυτον τον ποτε τυφλον προς τους Φαρισαιους.
13They brought him who had been blind to the Pharisees.
14Ητο δε σαββατον, οτε εκαμε τον πηλον ο Ιησους και ηνοιξε τους οφθαλμους αυτου.
14It was a Sabbath when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes.
15Παλιν λοιπον ηρωτων αυτον και οι Φαρισαιοι πως ανεβλεψε. Και εκεινος ειπε προς αυτους· Πηλον εβαλεν επι τους οφθαλμους μου, και ενιφθην, και βλεπω.
15Again 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.”
16Ελεγον λοιπον τινες εκ των Φαρισαιων· Ουτος ο ανθρωπος δεν ειναι παρα του Θεου, διοτι δεν φυλαττει το σαββατον. Αλλοι ελεγον· Πως δυναται ανθρωπος αμαρτωλος να καμνη τοιαυτα θαυματα; Και ητο σχισμα μεταξυ αυτων.
16Some 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.
17Λεγουσι παλιν προς τον τυφλον· Συ τι λεγεις περι αυτου, επειδη ηνοιξε τους οφθαλμους σου; Και εκεινος ειπεν οτι προφητης ειναι.
17Therefore they asked the blind man again, “What do you say about him, because he opened your eyes?” He said, “He is a prophet.”
18Δεν επιστευσαν λοιπον οι Ιουδαιοι περι αυτου οτι ητο τυφλος και ανεβλεψεν, εως οτου εφωναξαν τους γονεις αυτου του αναβλεψαντος
18The 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,
19και ηρωτησαν αυτους, λεγοντες· Ουτος ειναι ο υιος σας, τον οποιον σεις λεγετε οτι εγεννηθη τυφλος; πως λοιπον βλεπει τωρα;
19and asked them, “Is this your son, whom you say was born blind? How then does he now see?”
20Απεκριθησαν προς αυτους οι γονεις αυτου και ειπον· Εξευρομεν οτι ουτος ειναι ο υιος ημων και οτι εγεννηθη τυφλος·
20His parents answered them, “We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;
21Πως δε βλεπει τωρα δεν εξευρομεν, η τις ηνοιξε τους οφθαλμους αυτου ημεις δεν εξευρομεν· αυτος ηλικιαν εχει, αυτον ερωτησατε, αυτος περι εαυτου θελει λαλησει.
21but 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.”
22Ταυτα ειπον οι γονεις αυτου, διοτι εφοβουντο τους Ιουδαιους· επειδη ηδη ειχον συμφωνησει οι Ιουδαιοι, εαν τις ομολογηση αυτον Χριστον, να γεινη αποσυναγωγος.
22His 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.
23Δια τουτο οι γονεις αυτου ειπον οτι ηλικιαν εχει, αυτον ερωτησατε.
23Therefore his parents said, “He is of age. Ask him.”
24Εφωναξαν λοιπον εκ δευτερου τον ανθρωπον, οστις ητο τυφλος, και ειπον προς αυτον· Δοξασον τον Θεον· ημεις εξευρομεν οτι ο ανθρωπος ουτος ειναι αμαρτωλος.
24So 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.”
25Απεκριθη λοιπον εκεινος και ειπεν· Αν ηναι αμαρτωλος δεν εξευρω· εν εξευρω, οτι ημην τυφλος και τωρα βλεπω.
25He therefore answered, “I don’t know if he is a sinner. One thing I do know: that though I was blind, now I see.”
26Ειπον δε προς αυτον παλιν· τι σοι εκαμε; πως ηνοιξε τους οφθαλμους σου;
26They said to him again, “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?”
27Απεκριθη προς αυτους· Σας ειπον ηδη, και δεν ηκουσατε· δια τι παλιν θελετε να ακουητε; μηπως και σεις θελετε να γεινητε μαθηται αυτου;
27He 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?”
28Ελοιδορησαν λοιπον αυτον και ειπον· Συ εισαι μαθητης εκεινου· ημεις δε του Μωυσεως ειμεθα μαθηται.
28They insulted him and said, “You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.
29ημεις εξευρομεν οτι προς τον Μωυσην ελαλησεν ο Θεος· τουτον ομως δεν εξευρομεν ποθεν ειναι.
29We know that God has spoken to Moses. But as for this man, we don’t know where he comes from.”
30Απεκριθη ο ανθρωπος και ειπε προς αυτους· Εν τουτω μαλιστα ειναι το θαυμαστον, οτι σεις δεν εξευρετε ποθεν ειναι, και ηνοιξε μου τους οφθαλμους.
30The man answered them, “How amazing! You don’t know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes.
31Εξευρομεν δε οτι αμαρτωλους ο Θεος δεν ακουει, αλλ' εαν τις ηναι βεοσεβης και καμνη το θελημα αυτου, τουτον ακουει.
31We know that God doesn’t listen to sinners, but if anyone is a worshipper of God, and does his will, he listens to him. Psalm 66:18, Proverbs 15:29; 28:9
32Εκ του αιωνος δεν ηκουσθη οτι ηνοιξε τις οφθαλμους γεγεννημενου τυφλου.
32Since the world began it has never been heard of that anyone opened the eyes of someone born blind.
33Εαν ουτος δεν ητο παρα Θεου, δεν ηδυνατο να καμη ουδεν.
33If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.”
34Απεκριθησαν και ειπον προς αυτον· Συ εγεννηθης ολος εν αμαρτιαις, και συ διδασκεις ημας; και εξεβαλον αυτον εξω.
34They answered him, “You were altogether born in sins, and do you teach us?” They threw him out.
35[] Ηκουσεν ο Ιησους οτι εξεβαλον αυτον εξω, και ευρων αυτον ειπε προς αυτον· Συ πιστευεις εις τον Υιον του Θεου;
35Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and finding him, he said, “Do you believe in the Son of God?”
36Απεκριθη εκεινος και ειπε· Τις ειναι, Κυριε, δια να πιστευσω εις αυτον;
36He answered, “Who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him?”
37Και ο Ιησους ειπε προς αυτον· Και ειδες αυτον και ο λαλων μετα σου εκεινος ειναι.
37Jesus said to him, “You have both seen him, and it is he who speaks with you.”
38Ο δε ειπε· Πιστευω, Κυριε· και προσεκυνησεν αυτον.
38He said, “Lord, I believe!” and he worshiped him.
39[] Και ειπεν ο Ιησους· Εγω δια κρισιν ηλθον εις τον κοσμον τουτον, δια να βλεπωσιν οι μη βλεποντες και να γεινωσι τυφλοι οι βλεποντες.
39Jesus said, “I came into this world for judgment, that those who don’t see may see; and that those who see may become blind.”
40Και ηκουσαν ταυτα οσοι εκ των Φαρισαιων ησαν μετ' αυτου, και ειπον προς αυτον· Μηπως και ημεις ειμεθα τυφλοι;
40Those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and said to him, “Are we also blind?”
41Ειπε προς αυτους ο Ιησους· Εαν ησθε τυφλοι, δεν ηθελετε εχει αμαρτιαν· τωρα ομως λεγετε οτι βλεπομεν· η αμαρτια σας λοιπον μενει.
41Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say, ‘We see.’ Therefore your sin remains.
