John 9

NEW JERUSALEM	GREEK BIBLE
1 As he went along, he saw a man who had been blind from birth.	1 Και ενω ανεχωρει, ειδεν ανθρωπον τυφλον εκ γενετης.
2 His disciples asked him, 'Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he should have been bornblind?'	2 Και ηρωτησαν αυτον οι μαθηται αυτου, λεγοντες? Ραββι, τις ημαρτεν, ουτος η οι γονεις αυτου, ωστε να γεννηθη τυφλος;
3 'Neither he nor his parents sinned,' Jesus answered, 'he was born blind so that the works of God mightbe revealed in him.	3 Απεκριθη ο Ιησους? Ουτε ουτος ημαρτεν ουτε οι γονεις αυτου, αλλα δια να φανερωθωσι τα εργα του Θεου εν αυτω.
4 'As long as day lasts we must carry out the work of the one who sent me; the night wil soon be herewhen no one can work.	4 Εγω πρεπει να εργαζωμαι τα εργα του πεμψαντος με, εωσου ειναι ημερα? ερχεται νυξ οτε ουδεις δυναται να εργαζηται.
5 As long as I am in the world I am the light of the world.'	5 Ενοσω ειμαι εν τω κοσμω, ειμαι φως του κοσμου.
6 Having said this, he spat on the ground, made a paste with the spittle, put this over the eyes of the blindman,	6 Αφου ειπε ταυτα, επτυσε χαμαι και εκαμε πηλον εκ του πτυσματος και επεχρισε τον πηλον επι τους οφθαλμους του τυφλου
7 and said to him, 'Go and wash in the Pool of Siloam' (the name means 'one who has been sent'). So hewent off and washed and came back able to see.	7 και ειπε προς αυτον? Υπαγε, νιφθητι εις την κολυμβηθραν του Σιλωαμ, το οποιον ερμηνευεται απεσταλμενος. Υπηγε λοιπον και ενιφθη, και ηλθε βλεπων.
8 His neighbours and the people who used to see him before (for he was a beggar) said, 'Isn't this theman who used to sit and beg?'	8 Οι δε γειτονες και οσοι εβλεπον αυτον προτερον οτι ητο τυφλος ελεγον δεν ειναι ουτος, οστις εκαθητο και εζητει;
9 Some said, 'Yes, it is the same one.' Others said, 'No, but he looks just like him.' The man himself said,'Yes, I am the one.'	9 Αλλοι ελεγον οτι ουτος ειναι? αλλοι δε οτι ομοιος αυτου ειναι. Εκεινος ελεγεν οτι εγω ειμαι.
10 So they said to him, 'Then how is it that your eyes were opened?'	10 Ελεγον λοιπον προς αυτον? Πως ηνοιχθησαν οι οφθαλμοι σου;
11 He answered, 'The man cal ed Jesus made a paste, daubed my eyes with it and said to me, "Go offand wash at Siloam"; so I went, and when I washed I gained my sight.'	11 Απεκριθη εκεινος και ειπεν? Ανθρωπος λεγομενος Ιησους εκαμε πηλον και επεχρισε τους οφθαλμους μου και μοι ειπεν? Υπαγε εις την κολυμβηθραν του Σιλωαμ και νιφθητι? αφου δε υπηγα και ενιφθην, ανεβλεψα.
12 They asked, 'Where is he?' He answered, 'I don't know.'	12 Ειπον λοιπον προς αυτον? Που ειναι εκεινος; Λεγει? Δεν εξευρω.
13 They brought to the Pharisees the man who had been blind.	13 Φερουσιν αυτον τον ποτε τυφλον προς τους Φαρισαιους.
14 It had been a Sabbath day when Jesus made the paste and opened the man's eyes,	14 Ητο δε σαββατον, οτε εκαμε τον πηλον ο Ιησους και ηνοιξε τους οφθαλμους αυτου.
15 so when the Pharisees asked him how he had gained his sight, he said, 'He put a paste on my eyes,and I washed, and I can see.'	15 Παλιν λοιπον ηρωτων αυτον και οι Φαρισαιοι πως ανεβλεψε. Και εκεινος ειπε προς αυτους? Πηλον εβαλεν επι τους οφθαλμους μου, και ενιφθην, και βλεπω.
16 Then some of the Pharisees said, 'That man cannot be from God: he does not keep the Sabbath.'Others said, 'How can a sinner produce signs like this?' And there was division among them.	16 Ελεγον λοιπον τινες εκ των Φαρισαιων? Ουτος ο ανθρωπος δεν ειναι παρα του Θεου, διοτι δεν φυλαττει το σαββατον. Αλλοι ελεγον? Πως δυναται ανθρωπος αμαρτωλος να καμνη τοιαυτα θαυματα; Και ητο σχισμα μεταξυ αυτων.
17 So they spoke to the blind man again, 'What have you to say about him yourself, now that he hasopened your eyes?' The man answered, 'He is a prophet.'	17 Λεγουσι παλιν προς τον τυφλον? Συ τι λεγεις περι αυτου, επειδη ηνοιξε τους οφθαλμους σου; Και εκεινος ειπεν οτι προφητης ειναι.
18 However, the Jews would not believe that the man had been blind without first sending for the parentsof the man who had gained his sight and	18 Δεν επιστευσαν λοιπον οι Ιουδαιοι περι αυτου οτι ητο τυφλος και ανεβλεψεν, εως οτου εφωναξαν τους γονεις αυτου του αναβλεψαντος
19 asking them, 'Is this man really the son of yours who you say was born blind? If so, how is it that he isnow able to see?'	19 και ηρωτησαν αυτους, λεγοντες? Ουτος ειναι ο υιος σας, τον οποιον σεις λεγετε οτι εγεννηθη τυφλος; πως λοιπον βλεπει τωρα;
20 His parents answered, 'We know he is our son and we know he was born blind,	20 Απεκριθησαν προς αυτους οι γονεις αυτου και ειπον? Εξευρομεν οτι ουτος ειναι ο υιος ημων και οτι εγεννηθη τυφλος?
21 but how he can see, we don't know, nor who opened his eyes. Ask him. He is old enough: let himspeak for himself.'	21 Πως δε βλεπει τωρα δεν εξευρομεν, η τις ηνοιξε τους οφθαλμους αυτου ημεις δεν εξευρομεν? αυτος ηλικιαν εχει, αυτον ερωτησατε, αυτος περι εαυτου θελει λαλησει.
22 His parents spoke like this out of fear of the Jews, who had already agreed to ban from the synagogueanyone who should acknowledge Jesus as the Christ.	22 Ταυτα ειπον οι γονεις αυτου, διοτι εφοβουντο τους Ιουδαιους? επειδη ηδη ειχον συμφωνησει οι Ιουδαιοι, εαν τις ομολογηση αυτον Χριστον, να γεινη αποσυναγωγος.
23 This was why his parents said, 'He is old enough; ask him.'	23 Δια τουτο οι γονεις αυτου ειπον οτι ηλικιαν εχει, αυτον ερωτησατε.
24 So the Jews sent for the man again and said to him, 'Give glory to God! We are satisfied that this manis a sinner.'	24 Εφωναξαν λοιπον εκ δευτερου τον ανθρωπον, οστις ητο τυφλος, και ειπον προς αυτον? Δοξασον τον Θεον? ημεις εξευρομεν οτι ο ανθρωπος ουτος ειναι αμαρτωλος.
25 The man answered, 'Whether he is a sinner I don't know; al I know is that I was blind and now I cansee.'	25 Απεκριθη λοιπον εκεινος και ειπεν? Αν ηναι αμαρτωλος δεν εξευρω? εν εξευρω, οτι ημην τυφλος και τωρα βλεπω.
26 They said to him, 'What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?'	26 Ειπον δε προς αυτον παλιν? τι σοι εκαμε; πως ηνοιξε τους οφθαλμους σου;
27 He replied, 'I have told you once and you wouldn't listen. Why do you want to hear it all again? Do youwant to become his disciples yourselves?'	27 Απεκριθη προς αυτους? Σας ειπον ηδη, και δεν ηκουσατε? δια τι παλιν θελετε να ακουητε; μηπως και σεις θελετε να γεινητε μαθηται αυτου;
28 At this they hurled abuse at him, 'It is you who are his disciple, we are disciples of Moses:	28 Ελοιδορησαν λοιπον αυτον και ειπον? Συ εισαι μαθητης εκεινου? ημεις δε του Μωυσεως ειμεθα μαθηται.
29 we know that God spoke to Moses, but as for this man, we don't know where he comes from.'	29 ημεις εξευρομεν οτι προς τον Μωυσην ελαλησεν ο Θεος? τουτον ομως δεν εξευρομεν ποθεν ειναι.
30 The man replied, 'That is just what is so amazing! You don't know where he comes from and he hasopened my eyes!	30 Απεκριθη ο ανθρωπος και ειπε προς αυτους? Εν τουτω μαλιστα ειναι το θαυμαστον, οτι σεις δεν εξευρετε ποθεν ειναι, και ηνοιξε μου τους οφθαλμους.
31 We know that God doesn't listen to sinners, but God does listen to people who are devout and do hiswil .	31 Εξευρομεν δε οτι αμαρτωλους ο Θεος δεν ακουει, αλλ' εαν τις ηναι βεοσεβης και καμνη το θελημα αυτου, τουτον ακουει.
32 Ever since the world began it is unheard of for anyone to open the eyes of someone born blind;	32 Εκ του αιωνος δεν ηκουσθη οτι ηνοιξε τις οφθαλμους γεγεννημενου τυφλου.
33 if this man were not from God, he wouldn't have been able to do anything.'	33 Εαν ουτος δεν ητο παρα Θεου, δεν ηδυνατο να καμη ουδεν.
34 They retorted, 'Are you trying to teach us, and you a sinner through and through ever since you wereborn!' And they ejected him.	34 Απεκριθησαν και ειπον προς αυτον? Συ εγεννηθης ολος εν αμαρτιαις, και συ διδασκεις ημας; και εξεβαλον αυτον εξω.
35 Jesus heard they had ejected him, and when he found him he said to him, 'Do you believe in the Sonof man?'	35 Ηκουσεν ο Ιησους οτι εξεβαλον αυτον εξω, και ευρων αυτον ειπε προς αυτον? Συ πιστευεις εις τον Υιον του Θεου;
36 'Sir,' the man replied, 'tel me who he is so that I may believe in him.'	36 Απεκριθη εκεινος και ειπε? Τις ειναι, Κυριε, δια να πιστευσω εις αυτον;
37 Jesus said, 'You have seen him; he is speaking to you.'	37 Και ο Ιησους ειπε προς αυτον? Και ειδες αυτον και ο λαλων μετα σου εκεινος ειναι.
38 The man said, 'Lord, I believe,' and worshipped him.	38 Ο δε ειπε? Πιστευω, Κυριε? και προσεκυνησεν αυτον.
39 Jesus said: It is for judgement that I have come into this world, so that those without sight may see andthose with sight may become blind.	39 Και ειπεν ο Ιησους? Εγω δια κρισιν ηλθον εις τον κοσμον τουτον, δια να βλεπωσιν οι μη βλεποντες και να γεινωσι τυφλοι οι βλεποντες.
40 Hearing this, some Pharisees who were present said to him, 'So we are blind, are we?'	40 Και ηκουσαν ταυτα οσοι εκ των Φαρισαιων ησαν μετ' αυτου, και ειπον προς αυτον? Μηπως και ημεις ειμεθα τυφλοι;
41 Jesus replied: If you were blind, you would not be guilty, but since you say, 'We can see,' your guiltremains.	41 Ειπε προς αυτους ο Ιησους? Εαν ησθε τυφλοι, δεν ηθελετε εχει αμαρτιαν? τωρα ομως λεγετε οτι βλεπομεν? η αμαρτια σας λοιπον μενει.
