Jóhannesarguðspjall 9
Icelandic Bible
9 Á leið sinni sá hann mann, sem var blindur frá fæðingu.
2 Lærisveinar hans spurðu hann: "Rabbí, hvort hefur þessi maður syndgað eða foreldrar hans, fyrst hann fæddist blindur?"
3 Jesús svaraði: "Hvorki er það af því, að hann hafi syndgað eða foreldrar hans, heldur til þess að verk Guðs verði opinber á honum.
4 Oss ber að vinna verk þess, er sendi mig, meðan dagur er. Það kemur nótt, þegar enginn getur unnið.
5 Meðan ég er í heiminum, er ég ljós heimsins."
6 Að svo mæltu skyrpti hann á jörðina, gjörði leðju úr munnvatninu, strauk leðju á augu hans
7 og sagði við hann: "Farðu og þvoðu þér í lauginni Sílóam." (Sílóam þýðir sendur.) Hann fór og þvoði sér og kom sjáandi.
8 Nágrannar hans og þeir, sem höfðu áður séð hann ölmusumann, sögðu þá: "Er þetta ekki sá, er setið hefur og beðið sér ölmusu?"
9 Sumir sögðu: "Sá er maðurinn," en aðrir sögðu: "Nei, en líkur er hann honum." Sjálfur sagði hann: "Ég er sá."
10 Þá sögðu þeir við hann: "Hvernig opnuðust augu þín?"
11 Hann svaraði: "Maður að nafni Jesús gjörði leðju og smurði á augu mín og sagði mér að fara til Sílóam og þvo mér. Ég fór og fékk sjónina, þegar ég var búinn að þvo mér."
12 Þeir sögðu við hann: "Hvar er hann?" Hann svaraði: "Það veit ég ekki."
13 Þeir fara til faríseanna með manninn, sem áður var blindur.
14 En þá var hvíldardagur, þegar Jesús bjó til leðjuna og opnaði augu hans.
15 Farísearnir spurðu hann nú líka, hvernig hann hefði fengið sjónina. Hann svaraði þeim: "Hann lagði leðju á augu mín, ég þvoði mér, og nú sé ég."
16 Þá sögðu nokkrir farísear: "Þessi maður er ekki frá Guði, fyrst hann heldur ekki hvíldardaginn." Aðrir sögðu: "Hvernig getur syndugur maður gjört þvílík tákn?" Og ágreiningur varð með þeim.
17 Þá segja þeir aftur við hinn blinda: "Hvað segir þú um hann, fyrst hann opnaði augu þín?" Hann sagði: "Hann er spámaður."
18 Gyðingar trúðu því ekki, að hann, sem sjónina fékk, hefði verið blindur, og kölluðu fyrst á foreldra hans
19 og spurðu þá: "Er þetta sonur ykkar, sem þið segið að hafi fæðst blindur? Hvernig er hann þá orðinn sjáandi?"
20 Foreldrar hans svöruðu: "Við vitum, að þessi maður er sonur okkar og að hann fæddist blindur.
21 En hvernig hann er nú orðinn sjáandi, vitum við ekki, né heldur vitum við, hver opnaði augu hans. Spyrjið hann sjálfan. Hann hefur aldur til. Hann getur svarað fyrir sig."
22 Þetta sögðu foreldrar hans af ótta við Gyðinga. Því Gyðingar höfðu þegar samþykkt, að ef nokkur játaði, að Jesús væri Kristur, skyldi hann samkundurækur.
23 Vegna þessa sögðu foreldrar hans: "Hann hefur aldur til, spyrjið hann sjálfan."
24 Nú kölluðu þeir í annað sinn á manninn, sem blindur hafði verið, og sögðu við hann: "Gef þú Guði dýrðina. Vér vitum, að þessi maður er syndari."
25 Hann svaraði: "Ekki veit ég, hvort hann er syndari. En eitt veit ég, að ég, sem var blindur, er nú sjáandi."
26 Þá sögðu þeir við hann: "Hvað gjörði hann við þig? Hvernig opnaði hann augu þín?"
27 Hann svaraði þeim: "Ég er búinn að segja yður það, og þér hlustuðuð ekki á það. Hví viljið þér heyra það aftur? Viljið þér líka verða lærisveinar hans?"
28 Þeir atyrtu hann og sögðu: "Þú ert lærisveinn hans, vér erum lærisveinar Móse.
29 Vér vitum, að Guð talaði við Móse, en um þennan vitum vér ekki, hvaðan hann er."
30 Maðurinn svaraði þeim: "Þetta er furðulegt, að þér vitið ekki, hvaðan hann er, og þó opnaði hann augu mín.
31 Vér vitum, að Guð heyrir ekki syndara. En ef einhver er guðrækinn og gjörir vilja hans, þann heyrir hann.
32 Frá alda öðli hefur ekki heyrst, að nokkur hafi opnað augu þess, sem blindur var borinn.
33 Ef þessi maður væri ekki frá Guði, gæti hann ekkert gjört."
34 Þeir svöruðu honum: "Þú ert syndum vafinn frá fæðingu og ætlar að kenna oss!" Og þeir ráku hann út.
35 Jesús heyrði, að þeir hefðu rekið hann út. Hann fann hann og sagði við hann: "Trúir þú á Mannssoninn?"
36 Hinn svaraði: "Herra, hver er sá, að ég megi trúa á hann?"
37 Jesús sagði við hann: "Þú hefur séð hann, hann er sá sem er nú að tala við þig."
38 En hann sagði: "Ég trúi, herra," og féll fram fyrir honum.
39 Jesús sagði: "Til dóms er ég kominn í þennan heim, svo að blindir sjái og hinir sjáandi verði blindir."
40 Þetta heyrðu þeir farísear, sem með honum voru, og spurðu: "Erum vér þá líka blindir?"
41 Jesús sagði við þá: "Ef þér væruð blindir, væruð þér án sakar. En nú segist þér vera sjáandi, því varir sök yðar."

Jesus Heals a Man Born Blind
9 As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. 2 His disciples asked him, “Rabbi,(A) who sinned,(B) this man(C) or his parents,(D) that he was born blind?”
3 “Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” said Jesus, “but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him.(E) 4 As long as it is day,(F) we must do the works of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work. 5 While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”(G)
6 After saying this, he spit(H) on the ground, made some mud with the saliva, and put it on the man’s eyes. 7 “Go,” he told him, “wash in the Pool of Siloam”(I) (this word means “Sent”). So the man went and washed, and came home seeing.(J)
8 His neighbors and those who had formerly seen him begging asked, “Isn’t this the same man who used to sit and beg?”(K) 9 Some claimed that he was.
Others said, “No, he only looks like him.”
But he himself insisted, “I am the man.”
10 “How then were your eyes opened?” they asked.
11 He replied, “The man they call Jesus made some mud and put it on my eyes. He told me to go to Siloam and wash. So I went and washed, and then I could see.”(L)
12 “Where is this man?” they asked him.
“I don’t know,” he said.
The Pharisees Investigate the Healing
13 They brought to the Pharisees the man who had been blind. 14 Now the day on which Jesus had made the mud and opened the man’s eyes was a Sabbath.(M) 15 Therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight.(N) “He put mud on my eyes,” the man replied, “and I washed, and now I see.”
16 Some of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath.”(O)
But others asked, “How can a sinner perform such signs?”(P) So they were divided.(Q)
17 Then they turned again to the blind man, “What have you to say about him? It was your eyes he opened.”
The man replied, “He is a prophet.”(R)
18 They(S) still did not believe that he had been blind and had received his sight until they sent for the man’s parents. 19 “Is this your son?” they asked. “Is this the one you say was born blind? How is it that now he can see?”
20 “We know he is our son,” the parents answered, “and we know he was born blind. 21 But how he can see now, or who opened his eyes, we don’t know. Ask him. He is of age; he will speak for himself.” 22 His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jewish leaders,(T) who already had decided that anyone who acknowledged that Jesus was the Messiah would be put out(U) of the synagogue.(V) 23 That was why his parents said, “He is of age; ask him.”(W)
24 A second time they summoned the man who had been blind. “Give glory to God by telling the truth,”(X) they said. “We know this man is a sinner.”(Y)
25 He replied, “Whether he is a sinner or not, I don’t know. One thing I do know. I was blind but now I see!”
26 Then they asked him, “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?”
27 He answered, “I have told you already(Z) and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you want to become his disciples too?”
28 Then they hurled insults at him and said, “You are this fellow’s disciple! We are disciples of Moses!(AA) 29 We know that God spoke to Moses, but as for this fellow, we don’t even know where he comes from.”(AB)
30 The man answered, “Now that is remarkable! You don’t know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes. 31 We know that God does not listen to sinners. He listens to the godly person who does his will.(AC) 32 Nobody has ever heard of opening the eyes of a man born blind. 33 If this man were not from God,(AD) he could do nothing.”
34 To this they replied, “You were steeped in sin at birth;(AE) how dare you lecture us!” And they threw him out.(AF)
Spiritual Blindness
35 Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and when he found him, he said, “Do you believe(AG) in the Son of Man?”(AH)
36 “Who is he, sir?” the man asked. “Tell me so that I may believe in him.”(AI)
37 Jesus said, “You have now seen him; in fact, he is the one speaking with you.”(AJ)
38 Then the man said, “Lord, I believe,” and he worshiped him.(AK)
39 Jesus said,[a] “For judgment(AL) I have come into this world,(AM) so that the blind will see(AN) and those who see will become blind.”(AO)
40 Some Pharisees who were with him heard him say this and asked, “What? Are we blind too?”(AP)
41 Jesus said, “If you were blind, you would not be guilty of sin; but now that you claim you can see, your guilt remains.(AQ)

9 And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.
2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?
3 Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.
4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.
5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
6 When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay,
7 And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing.
8 The neighbours therefore, and they which before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?
9 Some said, This is he: others said, He is like him: but he said, I am he.
10 Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened?
11 He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight.
12 Then said they unto him, Where is he? He said, I know not.
13 They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind.
14 And it was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.
15 Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. He said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and do see.
16 Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he keepeth not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them.
17 They say unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is a prophet.
18 But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight.
19 And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then doth he now see?
20 His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind:
21 But by what means he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he shall speak for himself.
22 These words spake his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man did confess that he was Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.
23 Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him.
24 Then again called they the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner.
25 He answered and said, Whether he be a sinner or no, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.
26 Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eyes?
27 He answered them, I have told you already, and ye did not hear: wherefore would ye hear it again? will ye also be his disciples?
28 Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are Moses' disciples.
29 We know that God spake unto Moses: as for this fellow, we know not from whence he is.
30 The man answered and said unto them, Why herein is a marvellous thing, that ye know not from whence he is, and yet he hath opened mine eyes.
31 Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.
32 Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind.
33 If this man were not of God, he could do nothing.
34 They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.
35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?
36 He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him?
37 And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee.
38 And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.
39 And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind.
40 And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also?
41 Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.
