¹As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth.

¹Og da han gik forbi så han et Menneske, som var blindt fra Fødselen.

²His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”

²Og hans Disciple spurgte ham og sagde: "Rabbi, hvem har syndet, denne eller hans Forældre, så han skulde fødes blind?"

³Jesus answered, “Neither did this man sin, nor his parents; but, that the works of God might be revealed in him.

³Jesus svarede: "Hverken han eller hans Forældre have syndet; men det er sket, for at Guds Gerninger skulle åbenbares på ham.

⁴ I must work the works of him who sent me, while it is day. The night is coming, when no one can work.

⁴Jeg må gøre hans Gerninger, som sendte mig, så længe det er Dag; der kommer en Nat, da ingen kan arbejde.

⁵ While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”

⁵Medens jeg er i Verden, er jeg Verdens Lys."

⁶When he had said this, he spat on the ground, made mud with the saliva, anointed the blind man’s eyes with the mud,

⁶Da han havde sagt dette, spyttede han på Jorden og gjorde Dynd af Spyttet og smurte Dyndet på hans Øjne.

⁷and said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which means “Sent”). So he went away, washed, and came back seeing.

⁷Og han sagde til ham: "Gå hen, to dig i Dammen Siloam" (hvilket er udlagt: udsendt). Da gik han bort og toede sig, og han kom seende tilbage.

⁸The neighbors therefore, and those who saw that he was blind before, said, “Isn’t this he who sat and begged?”

⁸Da sagde Naboerne og de, som før vare vante til at se ham som Tigger: "Er det ikke ham, som sad og tiggede?"

⁹Others were saying, “It is he.” Still others were saying, “He looks like him.” He said, “I am he.”

⁹Nogle sagde: "Det er ham;" men andre sagde: "Nej, han ligner ham." Han selv sagde: "Det er mig."

¹⁰They therefore were asking him, “How were your eyes opened?”

¹⁰Da sagde de til ham: "Hvorledes bleve dine Øjne åbnede?"

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.”

¹¹Han svarede: "En Mand, som kaldes Jesus, gjorde Dynd og smurte det på mine Øjne og sagde til mig: Gå hen til Siloam og to dig! Da jeg så gik hen og toede mig, blev jeg seende."

¹²Then they asked him, “Where is he?” He said, “I don’t know.”

¹²Da sagde de til ham: "Hvor er han?" Han siger: "Det ved jeg ikke."

¹³They brought him who had been blind to the Pharisees.

¹³De føre ham, som før var blind, til Farisæerne.

¹⁴It was a Sabbath when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes.

¹⁴Men det var Sabbat den Dag, da Jesus gjorde Dyndet og åbnede hans Øjne.

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.”

¹⁵Atter spurgte nu også Farisæerne ham, hvorledes han var bleven seende. Men han sagde til dem: "Han lagde Dynd på mine Øjne, og jeg toede mig, og nu ser jeg."

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.

¹⁶Nogle af Farisæerne sagde da: "Dette Menneske er ikke fra Gud, efterdi han ikke holder Sabbaten." Andre sagde: "Hvorledes kan et syndigt Menneske gøre sådanne Tegn?" Og der var Splid imellem dem.

¹⁷Therefore they asked the blind man again, “What do you say about him, because he opened your eyes?” He said, “He is a prophet.”

¹⁷de sige da atter til den blinde: "Hvad siger du om ham, efterdi han åbnede dine Øjne?" Men han sagde: "Han er en Profet."

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,

¹⁸Så troede Jøderne ikke om ham, at han havde været blind og var bleven seende, førend de fik kaldt på Forældrene til ham, som havde fået sit Syn.

¹⁹and asked them, “Is this your son, whom you say was born blind? How then does he now see?”

¹⁹Og de spurgte dem og sagde: "Er denne eders Søn, om hvem I sige, at han var født blind? Hvorledes er han da nu seende?"

²⁰His parents answered them, “We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;

²⁰Hans Forældre svarede dem og sagde; "Vi vide, at denne er vor Søn, og at han, var født blind.

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.”

²¹Men hvorledes han nu er bleven seende, vide vi ikke, og hvem der har åbnet hans Øjne, vide vi ikke heller; spørger ham; han er gammel nok; han må selv tale for sig."

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.

²²Dette sagde hans Forældre, fordi de frygtede for Jøderne; thi Jøderne vare allerede komne overens om, at dersom nogen bekendte ham som Kristus, skulde han udelukkes af Synagogen.

²³Therefore his parents said, “He is of age. Ask him.”

²³Derfor sagde hans Forældre: "Han er gammel nok, spørger ham selv!"

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.”

²⁴Da hidkaldte de anden Gang Manden, som havde været blind, og sagde til ham: "Giv Gud Æren; vi vide, at dette Menneske er en Synder."

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.”

²⁵Da svarede han: "Om han er en Synder, ved jeg ikke; een Ting ved jeg, at jeg, som var blind, nu ser."

²⁶They said to him again, “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?”

²⁶De sagde da til ham igen: "Hvad gjorde han ved dig? Hvorledes åbnede han dine Øjne?"

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?”

²⁷Han svarede dem: "Jeg har allerede sagt eder det, og I hørte ikke efter. Hvorfor ville I høre det igen? Ville også I blive hans Disciple?"

²⁸They insulted him and said, “You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.

²⁸Da udskældte de ham og sagde: "Du er hans Discipel; men vi ere Mose Disciple.

²⁹We know that God has spoken to Moses. But as for this man, we don’t know where he comes from.”

²⁹Vi vide, at Gud har talt til Moses; men om denne vide vi ikke. hvorfra han er."

³⁰The man answered them, “How amazing! You don’t know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes.

³⁰Manden svarede og sagde til dem: "Det er dog underligt, at I ikke vide, hvorfra han er, og han har åbnet mine Øjne.

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

³¹Vi vide, at Syndere bønhører Gud ikke; men dersom nogen er gudfrygtig og gør hans Villie, ham hører han.

³²Since the world began it has never been heard of that anyone opened the eyes of someone born blind.

³²Aldrig er det hørt, at nogen har åbnet Øjnene på en blindfødt.

³³If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.”

³³Var denne ikke fra Gud, da kunde han intet gøre."

³⁴They answered him, “You were altogether born in sins, and do you teach us?” They threw him out.

³⁴De svarede og sagde til ham: "Du er hel og holden født i Synder, og du vil lære os?" Og de stødte ham ud.

³⁵Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and finding him, he said, “Do you believe in the Son of God?”

³⁵Jesus hørte, at de havde udstødt ham; og da han traf ham sagde han til ham: "Tror du på Guds Søn?"

³⁶He answered, “Who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him?”

³⁶Han svarede og sagde: "Hvem er han, Herre? for at jeg kan tro på ham."

³⁷Jesus said to him, “You have both seen him, and it is he who speaks with you.”

³⁷Jesus sagde til ham: "Både har du set ham, og den, som taler med dig, ham er det."

³⁸He said, “Lord, I believe!” and he worshiped him.

³⁸Men han sagde: "Jeg tror Herre!" og han kastede sig ned for ham.

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.”

³⁹Og Jesus sagde: "Til Dom er jeg kommen til denne Verden, for at de, som ikke se, skulle blive seende, og de, som se, skulle blive blinde."

⁴⁰Those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and said to him, “Are we also blind?”

⁴⁰Nogle af Farisæerne, som vare hos. ham, hørte dette, og de sagde til ham: "Mon også vi ere blinde?"

⁴¹Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say, ‘We see.’ Therefore your sin remains.

⁴¹Jesus sagde til dem: "Vare I blinde, da havde I ikke Synd; men nu sige I: Vi se; eders Synd forbliver."
