\subsection{\John 9}
|
|
\subsubsection{Healing a Man Born Blind}
|
|
\VS{1} And passing by he saw [a] person\fnAnthropos{} blind from birth.
|
|
\VS{2} And his disciples asked him saying:
|
|
Rabbi, who sinned, this [person] or his parents, that he be born blind?
|
|
\VS{3} \Iesous answered:
|
|
Neither this [man] sinned nor his parents,
|
|
but [rather] that the works of God be manifested in him.
|
|
\VS{4} We must be working the works of him having sent me while it is day;
|
|
when night comes you are not able to be working.
|
|
\VS{5} While I be in the world\fnKosmos{}, I am [the] light of the world.
|
|
\VS{6} Having said these [things] he spat on the ground
|
|
and made clay from the spit, and spread the clay on [his] eyes,
|
|
\VS{7} and said to him:
|
|
Be going, wash in the pool of \Siloam, which is being translated:
|
|
[The one] having been sent.
|
|
He went out therefore and washed, and he came seeing.
|
|
\VS{8} So the neighbors and those seeing him formerly,
|
|
that he was [a] beggar, were saying:
|
|
Is this not the [one] sitting and begging?
|
|
\VS{9} Others were saying that,
|
|
This is he, others were saying:
|
|
No, but he is like him.
|
|
That [one] was saying that: I am he.
|
|
\VS{10} They were therefore saying to him:
|
|
How were your eyes opened?
|
|
\VS{11} He answered:
|
|
The man being called \Iesous made clay
|
|
and spread [it on] my eyes and said to me:
|
|
Be going to \Siloam and wash.
|
|
Having gone therefore and having been washed I saw again.
|
|
\VS{12} And they said to him:
|
|
Where is he? He says: I do not know.
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{The Pharisee's Reaction to the Healing}
|
|
\VS{13} They bring him to the Pharisees, the [one] once blind.
|
|
\VS{14} Now it was [the] Sabbath on the day \Iesous made the clay and opened his eyes.
|
|
\VS{15} Again therefore the Pharisees were asking him how he saw again.
|
|
So he said to them:
|
|
He placed clay on my eyes, and I washed myself, and I see.
|
|
|
|
\VS{16} Some therefore of the Pharisees were saying:
|
|
He is not from God,
|
|
because he does not keep the Sabbath.
|
|
But others were saying:
|
|
How is [a] sinful person\fnAnthropos{} able to be doing such signs?
|
|
And there was [a] division among them.
|
|
\VS{17} So they say again to the blind [one]:
|
|
What do you say concerning him,
|
|
since he opened your eyes?
|
|
But he said that: He is [a] prophet.
|
|
|
|
\VS{18} So the Jews did not trust concerning him that he was blind
|
|
and has regained sight until they called the parents of him having seen again,
|
|
\VS{19} and asked them saying:
|
|
Is this your son, whom you say was born blind?
|
|
How then does he now see?
|
|
\VS{20} His parents therefore answered and said:
|
|
We know that this is our son and that he was born blind.
|
|
\VS{21} But how he now sees we do not know,
|
|
or who opened his eyes we do not know.
|
|
Ask him, he has maturity\fnMaturity{}, he will speak for himself.
|
|
\VS{22} His parents said these [things] because they were fearing the Jews.
|
|
For the Jews were already agreed that if anyone professed him [to be] the Anointed\fnChristos{} [One],
|
|
he become expelled from the synagogue.
|
|
\VS{23} Because of this did his parents say that:
|
|
He has maturity\fnMaturity{}, ask him.
|
|
|
|
\VS{24} So they called the man who was blind [a] second time,
|
|
and said to him:
|
|
Give [the] glory to God, for we know that this [one] is [a] sinful person.%
|
|
\fnAnthropos{}
|
|
\VS{25} He therefore answered:
|
|
If he is [a] sinner I do not know.
|
|
One [thing] I know, that being blind I now see.
|
|
\VS{26} They said therefore to him:
|
|
What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?
|
|
\VS{27} He answered them: I told you already and you did not hear:
|
|
Why do you want to be hearing again? Do you too want to become his disciples?
|
|
|
|
\VS{28} And they reviled him and said:
|
|
You are his disciple, but we are disciples of \Moses.
|
|
\VS{29} We know that God has spoken in \Moses,
|
|
but we do not know whence he is.
|
|
\VS{30} The man answered and said to them:
|
|
But in him is [an] amazing [thing],
|
|
that you do not know whence he is, and he opened my eyes.
|
|
\VS{31} We know that God does not hear sinners,
|
|
but if anyone be godly and do his will, he hears him.
|
|
\VS{32} From the age[s]%
|
|
\footnote{In this context, an idiomatic way of saying,
|
|
``Never has it been heard that\ldots{}''}
|
|
it has not been heard that anyone opened [the] eyes of [one] born blind.
|
|
\VS{33} If he was not from God,
|
|
he would \negd{not} be able to be doing anything.
|
|
\VS{34} They answered and said to him:
|
|
You were born entirely in sins, and you teach us? And they threw him out.
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{The Man's Response to \Iesous}
|
|
\VS{35} \Iesous heard that they threw him out, and having found him he said:
|
|
Do you trust in the Son of Humanity\fnAnthropos{}?
|
|
\VS{36} He answered and said:
|
|
And who is he, Lord, that I trust in him?
|
|
\VS{37} \Iesous said to him:
|
|
You have seen him and the [one] speaking with you is he.
|
|
\VS{38} So he said: I trust, Lord, and he worshipped him.
|
|
\VS{39} And \Iesous said:
|
|
For judgment did I come into the world,
|
|
in order that those not seeing may see, and those seeing may become blind.
|
|
\VS{40} Those of the Pharisees being with him heard these [things],
|
|
and said to him, Are we also blind?\fnGrammarIndicatesNo{}
|
|
\VS{41} \Iesous said to them:
|
|
If you were blind, you were not having sin.
|
|
But now you say: We see. Your sin abides.
