9 ΚΑΤΑ ΙΩΑΝΝΗΝ John Reference
1Καὶ παράγων εἶδεν ἄνθρωπον τυφλὸν ἐκ γενετῆς. As he passed by, he saw a man blind from his birth.The Healing of a Man Born Blind Jn.9.1-12
2καὶ ἠρώτησαν αὐτὸν οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ λέγοντες, Ῥαββί, τίς ἡμαρτεν, οὗτος ἢ οἱ γονεῖς αὐτοῦ, ἵνα τυφλὸς γεννηθῇ; And his disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?" 
3ἀπεκρίθη Ἰησοῦς, Οὐτε οὗτος ἡμαρτεν οὐτε οἱ γονεῖς αὐτοῦ, ἀλλ' ἵνα φανερωθῇ τὰ ἐργα τοῦ θεοῦ ἐν αὐτῷ. Jesus answered, "It was not that this man sinned, or his parents, but that the works of God might be made manifest in him. 
4ἡμᾶς δεῖ ἐργάζεσθαι τὰ ἐργα τοῦ πέμψαντός με ἑως ἡμέρα ἐστίν· ἐρχεται νὺξ ὅτε οὐδεὶς δύναται ἐργάζεσθαι. We must work the works of him who sent me, while it is day; night comes, when no one can work. 
5ὁταν ἐν τῷ κόσμῳ ὦ, φῶς εἰμι τοῦ κόσμου. As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world."  
6ταῦτα εἰπὼν ἐπτυσεν χαμαὶ καὶ ἐποίησεν πηλὸν ἐκ τοῦ πτύσματος, καὶ ἐπέχρισεν αὐτοῦ τὸν πηλὸν ἐπὶ τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς As he said this, he spat on the ground and made clay of the spittle and anointed the man's eyes with the clay, 
7καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ, Ὕπαγε νίψαι εἰς τὴν κολυμβήθραν τοῦ Σιλωάμ ὃ ἑρμηνεύεται Ἀπεσταλμένος. ἀπῆλθεν οὖν καὶ ἐνίψατο, καὶ ἦλθεν βλέπων. saying to him, "Go, wash in the pool of Silo'am" (which means Sent). So he went and washed and came back seeing.  
8Οἱ οὖν γείτονες καὶ οἱ θεωροῦντες αὐτὸν τὸ πρότερον ὅτι προσαίτης ἦν ἐλεγον, Οὐχ οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ καθήμενος καὶ προσαιτῶν; The neighbours and those who had seen him before as a beggar, said, "Is not this the man who used to sit and beg?"  
9ἀλλοι ἐλεγον ὅτι Οὗτός ἐστιν· ἀλλοι ἐλεγον, Οὐχί, ἀλλὰ ὁμοιος αὐτῷ ἐστιν. ἐκεῖνος ἐλεγεν ὅτι Ἐγώ εἰμι. Some said, "It is he"; others said, "No, but he is like him." He said, "I am the man."  
10ἐλεγον οὖν αὐτῷ, Πῶς [οὖν] ἠνεῴχθησάν σου οἱ ὀφθαλμοί; They said to him, "Then how were your eyes opened?" 
11ἀπεκρίθη ἐκεῖνος, Ὁ ἄνθρωπος ὁ λεγόμενος Ἰησοῦς πηλὸν ἐποίησεν καὶ ἐπέχρισέν μου τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς καὶ εἶπέν μοι ὅτι Ὕπαγε εἰς τὸν Σιλωὰμ καὶ νίψαι· ἀπελθὼν οὖν καὶ νι ψάμενος ἀνέβλεψα. He answered, "The man called Jesus made clay and anointed my eyes and said to me, 'Go to Silo'am and wash'; so I went and washed and received my sight." 
12καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῷ, Ποῦ ἐστιν ἐκεῖνος; λέγει, Οὐκ οἶδα. They said to him, "Where is he?" He said, "I do not know."  
13Ἄγουσιν αὐτὸν πρὸς τοὺς Φαρισαίους τόν ποτε τυφλόν. They brought to the Pharisees the man who had formerly been blind.The Pharisees Investigate the Healing Jn.9.13-34

14ἦν δὲ σάββατον ἐν ᾗ ἡμέρᾳ τὸν πηλὸν ἐποίησεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς καὶ ἀνέῳξεν αὐτοῦ τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς. Now it was a sabbath day when Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes. 
15πάλιν οὖν ἠρώτων αὐτὸν καὶ οἱ Φαρισαῖοι πῶς ἀνέβλεψεν. ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, Πηλὸν ἐπέθηκέν μου ἐπὶ τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς, καὶ ἐνιψάμην, καὶ βλέπω. The Pharisees again asked him how he had received his sight. And he said to them, "He put clay on my eyes, and I washed, and I see." 
16ἐλεγον οὖν ἐκ τῶν Φαρισαίων τινές, Οὐκ ἐστιν οὗτος παρὰ θεοῦ ὁ ἄνθρωπος, ὅτι τὸ σάββατον οὐ τηρεῖ. ἀλλοι [δὲ] ἐλεγον, Πῶς δύναται ἄνθρωπος ἀμαρτωλὸς τοιαῦτα σημεῖα πο ιεῖν; καὶ σχίσμα ἦν ἐν αὐτοῖς. Some of the Pharisees said, "This man is not from God, for he does not keep the sabbath." But others said, "How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?" There was a division among them. 
17λέγουσιν οὖν τῷ τυφλῷ πάλιν, Τί σὺ λέγεις περὶ αὐτοῦ, ὅτι ἠνέῳξέν σου τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς; ὁ δὲ εἶπεν ὅτι Προφήτης ἐστίν. So they again said to the blind man, "What do you say about him, since he has opened your eyes?" He said, "He is a prophet." 
18Οὐκ ἐπίστευσαν οὖν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι περὶ αὐτοῦ ὅτι ἦν τυφλὸς καὶ ἀνέβλεψεν, ἑως ὁτου ἐφώνησαν τοὺς γονεῖς αὐτοῦ τοῦ ἀναβλέψαντος The Jews did not believe that he had been blind and had received his sight, until they called the parents of the man who had received his sight, 
19καὶ ἠρώτησαν αὐτοὺς λέγοντες, Οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ υἱὸς ὑμῶν, ὃν ὑμεῖς λέγετε ὅτι τυφλὸς ἐγεννήθὴ πῶς οὖν βλέπει ἀρτὶ; and asked them, "Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then does he now see?"  
20ἀπεκρίθησαν οὖν οἱ γονεῖς αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπαν, Οἴδαμεν ὅτι οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ υἱὸς ἡμῶν καὶ ὅτι τυφλὸς ἐγεννήθη· His parents answered, "We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind; 
21πῶς δὲ νῦν βλέπει οὐκ οἰδαμεν, ἢ τίς ἠνοιξεν αὐτοῦ τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς ἡμεῖς οὐκ οἰδαμεν· αὐτὸν ἐρωτήσατε, ἡλικίαν ἐχει, αὐτὸς περὶ ἑαυτοῦ λαλήσει. but how he now sees we do not know, nor do we know who opened his eyes. Ask him; he is of age, he will speak for himself."  
22ταῦτα εἶπαν οἱ γονεῖς αὐτοῦ ὅτι ἐφοβοῦντο τοὺς Ἰουδαίους, ἠδη γὰρ συνετέθειντο οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι ἵνα ἐάν τις αὐτὸν ὁμολογήσῃ Χριστόν, ἀποσυνάγωγος γένηται. His parents said this because they feared the Jews, for the Jews had already agreed that if any one should confess him to be Christ, he was to be put out of the synagogue. 
23διὰ τοῦτο οἱ γονεῖς αὐτοῦ εἶπαν ὅτι Ἡλικίαν ἐχει, αὐτὸν ἐπερωτήσατε. Therefore his parents said, "He is of age, ask him."  
24Ἐφώνησαν οὖν τὸν ἄνθρωπον ἐκ δευτέρου ὃς ἦν τυφλὸς καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῷ, Δὸς δόξαν τῷ θεῷ· ἡμεῖς οἰδαμεν ὅτι οὗτος ὁ ἄνθρωπος ἀμαρτωλός ἐστιν. So for the second time they called the man who had been blind, and said to him, "Give God the praise; we know that this man is a sinner." 
25ἀπεκρίθη οὖν ἐκεῖνος, Εἰ ἀμαρτωλός ἐστιν οὐκ οἶδα· ἓν οἶδα, ὅτι τυφλὸς ὢν ἀρτι βλέπω. He answered, "Whether he is a sinner, I do not know; one thing I know, that though I was blind, now I see."  
26εἶπον οὖν αὐτῷ, Τί ἐποίησέν σοὶ πῶς ἠνοιξέν σου τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς; They said to him, "What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?"  
27ἀπεκρίθη αὐτοῖς, Εἶπον ὑμῖν ἠδη καὶ οὐκ ἠκούσατε· τί πάλιν θέλετε ἀκούειν; μὴ καὶ ὑμεῖς θέλετε αὐτοῦ μαθηταὶ γενέσθαὶ; He answered them, "I have told you already, and you would not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you too want to become his disciples?"  
28καὶ ἐλοιδόρησαν αὐτὸν καὶ εἶπον, Σὺ μαθητὴς εἶ ἐκείνου, ἡμεῖς δὲ τοῦ Μωϋσέως ἐσμὲν μαθηταί· And they reviled him, saying, "You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.  
29ἡμεῖς οἰδαμεν ὅτι Μωϋσεῖ λελάληκεν ὁ θεός, τοῦτον δὲ οὐκ οἰδαμεν πόθεν ἐστίν. We know that God has spoken to Moses, but as for this man, we do not know where he comes from."  
30ἀπεκρίθη ὁ ἄνθρωπος καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, Ἐν τούτῳ γὰρ τὸ θαυμαστόν ἐστιν ὅτι ὑμεῖς οὐκ οἰδατε πόθεν ἐστίν, καὶ ἠνοιξέν μου τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς. The man answered, "Why, this is a marvel! You do not know where he comes from, and yet he opened my eyes.  
31οἰδαμεν ὅτι ἀμαρτωλῶν ὁ θεὸς οὐκ ἀκούει, ἀλλ' ἐάν τις θεοσεβὴς ᾖ καὶ τὸ θέλημα αὐτοῦ ποιῇ τούτου ἀκούει. We know that God does not listen to sinners, but if any one is a worshiper of God and does his will, God listens to him. 
32ἐκ τοῦ αἰῶνος οὐκ ἠκούσθη ὅτι ἠνέῳξέν τις ὀφθαλμοὺς τυφλοῦ γεγεννημένου· Never since the world began has it been heard that any one opened the eyes of a man born blind. 
33εἰ μὴ ἦν οὗτος παρὰ θεοῦ, οὐκ ἠδύνατο ποιεῖν οὐδέν. If this man were not from God, he could do nothing."  
34ἀπεκρίθησαν καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῷ, Ἐν ἀμαρτίαις σὺ ἐγεννήθης ὁλος, καὶ σὺ διδάσκεις ἡμᾶς; καὶ ἐξέβαλον αὐτὸν ἐξω. They answered him, "You were born in utter sin, and would you teach us?" ánd they cast him out.  
35Ἤκουσεν Ἰησοῦς ὅτι ἐξέβαλον αὐτὸν ἐξω, καὶ εὑρὼν αὐτὸν εἶπεν, Σὺ πιστεύεις εἰς τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ ἀνθρώποὺ; Jesus heard that they had cast him out, and having found him he said, "Do you believe in the Son of man?" Spiritual Blindness Jn.9.35-41

36ἀπεκρίθη ἐκεῖνος καὶ εἶπεν, Καὶ τίς ἐστιν, κύριε, ἵνα πιστεύσω εἰς αὐτόν; He answered, "And who is he, sir, that I may believe in him?"  
37εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς, Καὶ ἑώρακας αὐτὸν καὶ ὁ λαλῶν μετὰ σοῦ ἐκεῖνός ἐστιν. Jesus said to him, "You have seen him, and it is he who speaks to you."  
38ὁ δὲ ἐφη, Πιστεύω, κύριε· καὶ προσεκύνησεν αὐτῷ. He said, "Lord, I believe"; and he worshipped him.  
39καὶ εἶπεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς, Εἰς κρίμα ἐγὼ εἰς τὸν κόσμον τοῦτον ἦλθον, ἵνα οἱ μὴ βλέποντες βλέπωσιν καὶ οἱ βλέποντες τυφλοὶ γένωνται. Jesus said, "For judgment I came into this world, that those who do not see may see, and that those who see may become blind."  
40Ἤκουσαν ἐκ τῶν Φαρισαίων ταῦτα οἱ μετ' αὐτοῦ ὄντες, καὶ εἶπον αὐτῷ, Μὴ καὶ ἡμεῖς τυφλοί ἐσμεν; Some of the Pharisees near him heard this, and they said to him, "Are we also blind?" 
41εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς, Εἰ τυφλοὶ ἦτε, οὐκ ἂν εἰχετε ἀμαρτίαν· νῦν δὲ λέγετε ὅτι Βλέπομεν· ἡ ἀμαρτία ὑμῶν μένει. Jesus said to them, "If you were blind, you would have no guilt; but now that you say, 'We see,' your guilt remains.
