Pinagaling ni Jesus ang Isang Bulag
9 Sa paglalakad ni Jesus, nakita niya ang isang lalaking bulag mula pa nang ipanganak. 2 Tinanong siya ng kanyang mga alagad, “Rabi, sino po ang nagkasala at ipinanganak na bulag ang lalaking ito, siya ba o ang kanyang mga magulang?”
3 Sumagot si Jesus, “Ipinanganak siyang bulag, hindi dahil sa nagkasala siya, o ang kanyang mga magulang, kundi upang mahayag ang kapangyarihan ng Diyos sa pamamagitan niya. 4 Kailangang gawin natin[a] ang mga ipinapagawa ng nagsugo sa akin[b] habang may araw pa; darating ang gabi, kung kailan wala nang makakapagtrabaho. 5 Habang(A) ako'y nasa sanlibutan, ako ang ilaw ng sanlibutan.”
6 Pagkasabi nito, dumura si Jesus sa lupa at gumawa ng putik. Pagkatapos, ipinahid niya ito sa mata ng bulag. 7 Sinabi ni Jesus sa bulag, “Pumunta ka sa imbakan ng tubig sa Siloe at maghilamos ka roon.” (Ang kahulugan ng salitang Siloe ay Sinugo.) Pumunta nga ang bulag, naghilamos doon, at pagbalik niya ay nakakakita na.
8 Sinabi ng mga kapitbahay niya at ng mga nakakita sa kanya noong siya'y namamalimos pa, “Hindi ba iyan ang lalaking dating nakaupo at namamalimos?”
9 Sumagot ang ilan, “Iyan nga!” Sabi naman ng iba, “Hindi! Kamukha lang.” Kaya't nagsalita ang dating bulag, “Ako nga po iyon.”
10 “Paano kang nakakita?” tanong nila.
11 Sumagot siya, “Ang lalaking tinatawag na Jesus ay gumawa ng putik at ipinahid iyon sa aking mata. Pagkatapos, sinabi niya sa akin, ‘Pumunta ka sa Siloe at maghilamos.’ Pumunta nga ako doon at naghilamos, at nakakita na ako!”
12 “Nasaan siya?” tanong nila sa kanya. “Hindi ko alam,” sagot niya.
Nagsiyasat ang mga Pariseo tungkol sa Pagpapagaling
13 Dinala ng mga tao sa mga Pariseo ang dating bulag. 14 Araw ng Pamamahinga nang gumawa si Jesus ng putik at nang pinagaling niya ang bulag. 15 Tinanong din siya ng mga Pariseo kung paano siya nakakita. Kaya't sinabi niya sa kanila, “Pinahiran niya ng putik ang aking mga mata, ako'y naghilamos at ngayo'y nakakakita na ako.”
16 Ang sabi ng ilang Pariseo, “Hindi maaaring mula sa Diyos ang taong iyon, sapagkat hindi niya ipinapangilin ang Araw ng Pamamahinga.” Ngunit sinabi naman ng iba, “Paanong makakagawa ng ganitong mga himala ang isang makasalanan?” At hindi sila magkaisa.
17 Kaya't tinanong nilang muli ang dating bulag, “At ikaw, ano naman ang masasabi mo tungkol sa kanya, dahil pinagaling niya ang iyong mga mata?”
“Isa siyang propeta!” sagot niya.
18 Ayaw maniwala ng mga Judio na siya'y talagang dating bulag na ngayo'y nakakakita na kaya't ipinatawag nila ang kanyang mga magulang. 19 “Anak nga ba ninyo ito? Talaga bang siya'y ipinanganak na bulag? Ano'ng nangyari at nakakakita na siya ngayon?” tanong nila.
20 Sumagot ang kanyang mga magulang, “Alam naming anak namin siya at alam din naming siya'y ipinanganak na bulag. 21 Ngunit hindi po namin alam kung ano ang nangyari at nakakakita na siya ngayon, o kung sino ang nagpagaling sa kanya. Siya na po ang tanungin ninyo. Nasa hustong gulang na siya. Makakapagsalita na siya para sa kanyang sarili.”
22 Ganito ang sinabi ng kanyang mga magulang dahil sa kanilang takot sa mga pinuno ng mga Judio. Sapagkat pinagkaisahan na ng mga Judio na ang sinumang magpahayag na si Jesus ang Cristo ay ititiwalag sa sinagoga. 23 Ito ang dahilan kung bakit sinabi ng kanyang mga magulang, “Siya'y nasa hustong gulang na, siya ang tanungin ninyo.”
24 Muli nilang ipinatawag ang dating bulag at sinabi sa kanya, “Sa ngalan ng Diyos, magsabi ka ng totoo. Alam naming ang taong iyon ay makasalanan.”
25 Sumagot siya, “Hindi ko po alam kung siya'y makasalanan, o hindi. Isang bagay po ang alam ko; ako'y dating bulag, subalit ngayo'y nakakakita na.”
26 “Ano ang ginawa niya sa iyo? Paano niya pinagaling ang iyong mga mata?” tanong nila.
27 Sumagot siya, “Sinabi ko na po sa inyo, at ayaw naman ninyo akong paniwalaan. Bakit gusto ninyong marinig muli? Nais ba ninyong maging alagad din niya?”
28 At siya'y kanilang nilait, “Ikaw ang alagad niya! Kami'y mga alagad ni Moises. 29 Nalalaman naming nagsalita ang Diyos kay Moises ngunit ang taong iyon, ni hindi namin alam kung saan siya nanggaling!”
30 Sumagot ang lalaki, “Iyan nga po ang nakapagtataka! Hindi ninyo alam kung saan siya nanggaling, gayunma'y pinagaling niya ang aking mga mata. 31 Alam nating hindi pinapakinggan ng Diyos ang mga makasalanan, ngunit pinapakinggan niya ang mga sumasamba sa kanya at sumusunod sa kanyang kalooban. 32 Mula pa nang likhain ang mundo ay wala pa tayong nabalitaang nakapagpagaling ng mata ng taong ipinanganak na bulag. 33 Wala pong magagawa ang taong iyon kung siya'y hindi mula sa Diyos!”
34 Sumagot sila, “Ipinanganak kang lubos na makasalanan at ngayo'y nais mo pa kaming turuan!” At siya'y kanilang itiniwalag.
Mga Bulag sa Espiritu
35 Nabalitaan ni Jesus na ang lalaking pinagaling niya ay itiniwalag ng mga Pariseo. Kaya't nang matagpuan niya ito ay kanyang tinanong, “Sumasampalataya ka ba sa Anak ng Tao?”
36 Sumagot ang lalaki, “Sino po ba siya, Ginoo? Sabihin ninyo sa akin upang ako'y sumampalataya sa kanya.”
37 “Siya'y nakita mo na. Siya ang kausap mo ngayon,” wika ni Jesus.
38 “Sumasampalataya po ako, Panginoon!” sabi ng lalaki. At sinamba niya si Jesus.
39 Sinabi ni Jesus, “Naparito ako sa mundong ito upang humatol, at nang sa gayo'y makakita ang mga bulag at mabulag naman ang mga nakakakita.”
40 Narinig ito ng ilang Pariseong naroon at siya'y kanilang tinanong, “Ibig mo bang sabihi'y mga bulag din kami?”
41 Sumagot si Jesus, “Kung kayo nga'y bulag, hindi sana kayo hahatulang maysala. Ngunit dahil sinasabi ninyong nakakakita kayo, nananatili kayong maysala.”

New International Version
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)

New King James Version
A Man Born Blind Receives Sight
9 Now as Jesus passed by, He saw a man who was blind from birth. 2 And His disciples asked Him, saying, “Rabbi, (A)who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”
3 Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, (B)but that the works of God should be revealed in him. 4 (C)I[a] must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is (D)day; the night is coming when no one can work. 5 As long as I am in the world, (E)I am the light of the world.”
6 When He had said these things, (F)He spat on the ground and made clay with the saliva; and He anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay. 7 And He said to him, “Go, wash (G)in the pool of Siloam” (which is translated, Sent). So (H)he went and washed, and came back seeing.
8 Therefore the neighbors and those who previously had seen that he was [b]blind said, “Is not this he who sat and begged?”
9 Some said, “This is he.” Others said, [c]“He is like him.”
He said, “I am he.”
10 Therefore they said to him, “How were your eyes opened?”
11 He answered and said, (I)“A Man called Jesus made clay and anointed my eyes and said to me, ‘Go to [d]the pool of Siloam and wash.’ So I went and washed, and I received sight.”
12 Then they said to him, “Where is He?”
He said, “I do not know.”
The Pharisees Excommunicate the Healed Man
13 They brought him who formerly was blind to the Pharisees. 14 Now it was a Sabbath when Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes. 15 Then the Pharisees also asked him again how he had received his sight. He said to them, “He put clay on my eyes, and I washed, and I see.”
16 Therefore some of the Pharisees said, “This Man is not from God, because He does not [e]keep the Sabbath.”
Others said, (J)“How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?” And (K)there was a division among them.
17 They said to the blind man again, “What do you say about Him because He opened your eyes?”
He said, (L)“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 who had received his sight. 19 And they asked them, saying, “Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then does 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 sees we do not know, or who opened his eyes we do not know. He is of age; ask him. He will speak for himself.” 22 His parents said these things because (M)they feared the Jews, for the Jews had agreed already that if anyone confessed that He was Christ, he (N)would be put out of the synagogue. 23 Therefore his parents said, “He is of age; ask him.”
24 So they again called the man who was blind, and said to him, (O)“Give God the glory! (P)We know that this Man is a sinner.”
25 He answered and said, “Whether He is a sinner or not I do not know. One thing I know: that though I was blind, now I see.”
26 Then they said to him again, “What did He do to you? How did He open your eyes?”
27 He answered them, “I told you already, and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you also want to become His disciples?”
28 Then they reviled him and said, “You are His disciple, but we are Moses’ disciples. 29 We know that God (Q)spoke to (R)Moses; as for this fellow, (S)we do not know where He is from.”
30 The man answered and said to them, (T)“Why, this is a marvelous thing, that you do not know where He is from; yet He has opened my eyes! 31 Now we know that (U)God does not hear sinners; but if anyone is a worshiper of God and does His will, He hears him. 32 Since the world began it has been unheard of that anyone opened the eyes of one who was born blind. 33 (V)If this Man were not from God, He could do nothing.”
34 They answered and said to him, (W)“You were completely born in sins, and are you teaching us?” And they [f]cast him out.
True Vision and True Blindness
35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when He had (X)found him, He said to him, “Do you (Y)believe in (Z)the Son of [g]God?”
36 He answered and said, “Who is He, Lord, that I may believe in Him?”
37 And Jesus said to him, “You have both seen Him and (AA)it is He who is talking with you.”
38 Then he said, “Lord, I believe!” And he (AB)worshiped Him.
39 And Jesus said, (AC)“For judgment I have come into this world, (AD)that those who do not see may see, and that those who see may be made blind.”
40 Then some of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these words, (AE)and said to Him, “Are we blind also?”
41 Jesus said to them, (AF)“If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say, ‘We see.’ Therefore your sin remains.
