| 1 | And Jesus passing by, saw a man, who was blind from his birth: | Et praeteriens Iesus vidit hominem caecum a nativitate: |
| 2 | And his disciples asked him: Rabbi, who hath sinned, this man, or his parents, that he should be born blind? | et interrogaverunt eum discipuli eius: Rabbi, quis peccavit, hic, aut parentes eius, ut caecus nasceretur? |
| 3 | Jesus answered: Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents; but that the works of God should be made manifest in him. | Respondit Iesus: Neque hic peccavit, neque parentes eius: sed ut manifestentur opera Dei in illo. |
| 4 | I must work the works of him that sent me, whilst it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. | Me oportet operari opera eius qui misit me, donec dies est: venit nox, quando nemo potest operari: |
| 5 | As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world. | quamdiu sum in mundo, lux sum mundi. |
| 6 | When he had said these things, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and spread the clay on his eyes, | Haec cum dixisset, exspuit in terram, et fecit lutum ex sputo, et linivit lutum super oculos eius, |
| 7 | And said to him: Go, wash in the pool of Siloe, which is interpreted, Sent. He went therefore, and washed, and he came seeing. | et dixit ei: Vade, lava in natatoria Siloë (quod interpretatur Missus). Abiit ergo, et lavit, et venit videns. |
| 8 | The neighbours therefore, and they who had seen him before that he was a beggar, said: Is not this he that sat and begged? Some said: This is he. | Itaque vicini, et qui viderant eum prius quia mendicus erat, dicebant: Nonne hic est qui sedebat, et mendicabat? Alii dicebant: Quia hic est. |
| 9 | But others said: No, but he is like him. But he said: I am he. | Alii autem: Nequaquam, sed similis est ei. Ille vero dicebat: Quia ego sum. |
| 10 | They said therefore to him: How were thy eyes opened? | Dicebant ergo ei: Quomodo aperti sunt tibi oculi? |
| 11 | He answered: That man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed my eyes, and said to me: Go to the pool of Siloe, and wash. And I went, I washed, and I see. | Respondit: Ille homo qui dicitur Iesus, lutum fecit: et unxit oculos meos, et dixit mihi: Vade ad natatoria Siloë, et lava. Et abii, et lavi, et video. |
| 12 | And they said to him: Where is he? He saith: I know not. | Et dixerunt ei: Ubi est ille? Ait: Nescio. |
| 13 | They bring him that had been blind to the Pharisees. | Adducunt eum ad pharisaeos, qui caecus fuerat. |
| 14 | Now it was the sabbath, when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes. | Erat autem sabbatum quando lutum fecit Iesus, et aperuit oculos eius. |
| 15 | Again therefore the Pharisees asked him, how he had received his sight. But he said to them: He put clay upon my eyes, and I washed, and I see. | Iterum ergo interrogabant eum pharisaei quomodo vidisset. Ille autem dixit eis: Lutum mihi posuit super oculos, et lavi, et video. |
| 16 | Some therefore of the Pharisees said: This man is not of God, who keepeth not the sabbath. But others said: How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them. | Dicebant ergo ex pharisaeis quidam: Non est hic homo a Deo, qui sabbatum non custodit. Alii autem dicebant: Quomodo potest homo peccator haec signa facere? Et schisma erat inter eos. |
| 17 | They say therefore to the blind man again: What sayest thou of him that hath opened they eyes? And he said: He is a prophet. | Dicunt ergo caeco iterum: Tu quid dicis de illo qui aperuit oculos tuos? Ille autem dixit: Quia propheta est. |
| 18 | The Jews then did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and had received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight, | Non crediderunt ergo Iudaei de illo, quia caecus fuisset et vidisset, donec vocaverunt parentes eius, qui viderat: |
| 19 | And asked them, saying: Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then doth he now see? | et interrogaverunt eos, dicentes: Hic est filius vester, quem vos dicitis quia caecus natus est? quomodo ergo nunc videt? |
| 20 | His parents answered them, and said: We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind: | Responderunt eis parentes eius, et dixerunt: Scimus quia hic est filius noster, et quia caecus natus est: |
| 21 | But how he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: ask himself: he is of age, let him speak for himself. | quomodo autem nunc videat, nescimus: aut quis eius aperuit oculos, nos nescimus; ipsum interrogate: aetatem habet, ipse de se loquatur. |
| 22 | These things his parents said, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had already agreed among themselves, that if any man should confess him to be Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue. | Haec dixerunt parentes eius, quoniam timebant Iudaeos: iam enim conspiraverunt Iudaei, ut si quis eum confiteretur esse Christum, extra synagogam fieret. |
| 23 | Therefore did his parents say: He is of age, ask himself. | Propterea parentes eius dixerunt: Quia aetatem habet, ipsum interrogate. |
| 24 | They therefore called the man again that had been blind, and said to him: Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner. | Vocaverunt ergo rursum hominem qui fuerat caecus, et dixerunt ei: Da gloriam Deo: nos scimus quia hic homo peccator est. |
| 25 | He said therefore to them: If he be a sinner, I know not: one thing I know, that whereas I was blind, now I see. | Dixit ergo eis ille: Si peccator est, nescio; unum scio, quia caecus cum essem, modo video. |
| 26 | They said then to him: What did he to thee? How did he open thy eyes? | Dixerunt ergo illi: Quid fecit tibi? quomodo aperuit tibi oculos? |
| 27 | He answered them: I have told you already, and you have heard: why would you hear it again? will you also become his disciples? | Respondit eis: Dixi vobis iam, et audistis: quod iterum vultis audire? numquid et vos vultis discipuli eius fieri? |
| 28 | They reviled him therefore, and said: Be thou his disciple; but we are the disciples of Moses. | Maledixerunt ergo ei, et dixerunt: Tu discipulus illius sis: nos autem Moysi discipuli sumus. |
| 29 | We know that God spoke to Moses: but as to this man, we know not from whence he is. | Nos scimus quia Moysi locutus est Deus; hunc autem nescimus unde sit. |
| 30 | The man answered, and said to them: Why, herein is a wonderful thing, that you know not from whence he is, and he hath opened my eyes. | Respondit ille homo, et dixit eis: In hoc enim mirabile est quia vos nescitis unde sit, et aperuit meos oculos: |
| 31 | Now we know that God doth not hear sinners: but if a man be a server of God, and doth his will, him he heareth. | scimus autem quia peccatores Deus non audit: sed si quis Dei cultor est, et voluntatem eius facit, hunc exaudit. |
| 32 | From the beginning of the world it hath not been heard, that any man hath opened the eyes of one born blind. | A saeculo non est auditum quia quis aperuit oculos caeci nati. |
| 33 | Unless this man were of God, he could not do any thing. | Nisi esset hic a Deo, non poterat facere quidquam. |
| 34 | They answered, and said to him: Thou wast wholly born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out. | Responderunt, et dixerunt ei: In peccatis natus es totus, et tu doces nos? Et eiecerunt eum foras. |
| 35 | Jesus heard that they had cast him out: and when he had found him, he said to him: Dost thou believe in the Son of God? | Audivit Iesus quia eiecerunt eum foras: et cum invenisset eum, dixit ei: Tu credis in Filium Dei? |
| 36 | He answered, and said: Who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him? | Respondit ille, et dixit: Quis est, Domine, ut credam in eum? |
| 37 | And Jesus said to him: Thou hast both seen him; and it is he that talketh with thee. | Et dixit ei Iesus: Et vidisti eum, et qui loquitur tecum, ipse est. |
| 38 | And he said: I believe, Lord. And falling down, he adored him. | At ille ait: Credo, Domine. Et procidens adoravit eum. |
| 39 | And Jesus said: For judgment I am come into this world; that they who see not, may see; and they who see, may become blind. | Et dixit Iesus: In iudicium ego in hunc mundum veni: ut qui non vident videant, et qui vident caeci fiant. |
| 40 | And some of the Pharisees, who were with him, heard: and they said unto him: Are we also blind? | Et audierunt quidam ex pharisaeis qui cum ipso erant, et dixerunt ei: Numquid et nos caeci sumus? |
| 41 | Jesus said to them: If you were blind, you should not have sin: but now you say: We see. Your sin remaineth. | Dixit eis Iesus: Si caeci essetis, non haberetis peccatum. Nunc vero dicitis, Quia videmus: peccatum vestrum manet. |
