9 Na, i a Ihu e haere ana, ka kite ia i tetahi tangata i matapo, no tona whanautanga mai ano.
2 Na ka ui ana akonga ki a ia, ka mea, E te Kaiwhakaako, ko wai i hara, ko tenei, ko ona matua ranei, i whanau matapo ai ia?
3 Ka whakahokia e Ihu, Ehara i te mea ko tenei kua hara, ko ona matua ranei: engari kia ai ai ia hei whakakitenga mo nga mahi a te Atua.
4 Me mahi e tatou nga mahi a toku kaitono mai i te mea e ao ana: meake ko te po e kore ai e taea he mahi e tetahi tangata.
5 I ahau i te ao nei, ko ahau te marama o te ao.
6 Ka mutu enei korero ana, ka tuwha ia ki te whenua, a pokepokea ana tetahi paru ki te huware, pania atu ana te paru ki nga kanohi o te matapo,
7 Na ka mea ki a ia, haere ki te horoi ki te kaukauranga i Hiroama, ko Tono te whakamaoritanga. Na haere ana ia, horoi ana, a hoki titiro ana mai.
8 Na ka mea nga tangata e noho tata ana, ratou ko nga tangata i kite i tona matapotanga i mua, Ehara ianei tenei i taua tangata i noho ra, i tono mea ra mana?
9 Ka mea etahi, Ko ia tenei: ko etahi i mea, Kahore, engari rite tonu ki a ia te ahua. Ka mea ia, Ko ahau ra ia.
10 Katahi ratou ka mea ki a ia, Na te aha ra i kite ai ou kanohi?
11 Ka whakahoki ia ka mea, Na te tangata, e huaina nei ko Ihu, i pokepoke he paru, pania ana e ia ki oku kanohi, ka mea mai ki ahau, Haere ki Hiroama horoi ai: na, ko toku haerenga atu, ko taku horoinga, kite ana ahau.
12 Na ka mea ratou ki a ia, Kei hea ia? Ka mea ia, E kore ahau e mohio.
13 Ka kawea atu ki nga parihi taua tangata i matapo i mua ra.
14 Na no te hapati i pokepokea ai e Ihu te paru, i meinga ai ona kanohi kia kite.
15 Na ka ui ano nga Parihi ki a ia, ki te pehea i kite ai ia. Ka mea ia ki a ratou, I pania e ia he paru ki oku kanohi, na horoi ana ahau, kite ana.
16 Na ka mea etahi o nga Parihi, Ehara tenei i te tangata na te Atua, ina mea etahi, Ma te aha e taea ai enei merekara e te tangata hara? Na ka wehewehea ratou.
17 Ka mea ano ratou ki te matapo, E pehea ana koe ki a ia, ki tana meatanga i ou kanohi kia kite? Ka mea ia, He poropiti ia.
18 Heoi kahore nga Hurai i whakapono i matapo taua tangata, kua meinga ano kia kite, karangatia noatia e ratou nga matua ona i meinga nei kia kite,
19 A ka ui ratou ki a raua, ka mea, Ko ta korua tama tenei, e mea nei korua i whanau matapo mai? na te aha ra ia i titiro ai inaianei?
20 Ka whakahoki ona matua ki a ratou, ka mea, E mohio ana maua, ko ta maua tama tenei, i whanau matapo mai ano:
21 Ko te mea ia i kite ai ia inaianei, kahore i mohiotia e maua; kahore hoki maua e mohio na wai i mea ona kanohi kia kite: he kaumatua ia; ui atu ki a ia: mana ia e korero.
22 I penei ona matua, no te mea i mataku raua i nga Hurai: kua takoto noa ake hoki ta nga Hurai tikanga, na ki te whakaae tetahi, ko te Karaiti ia, me pei ki waho o te whare karakia.
23 Koia ona matua i mea ai, he kaumatua ia; ui atu ki a ia.
24 Na ka karanga tuarua ratou ki te tangata i matapo i mua ra, ka mea ki a ia, Hoatu he kororia ki te Atua; e matau ana matou he tangata hara tenei.
25 Na ka whakahoki ia, ka mea, Kahore ahau e matau he tangata hara ranei ia: kotahi ano taku e matau nei, he matapo ahau i mua, a ina kua kite.
26 Ka mea ano ratou ki a ia, I aha ia ki a koe? I peheatia ou kanohi i meinga ai e ia kia kite?
27 Ka whakahokia e ia ki a ratou, Kua korerotia ano e ahau ki a koutou ina tonu nei, a kihai koutou i whakarongo: he aha koutou i hiahia ai kia rongo ano? E mea ana oti koutou kia meinga hei akonga mana?
28 Na whakahi ana ratou ki a ia, ka mea, Ko tana akonga koe; ko matou ia he akonga na Mohi.
29 E matau ana matou i korero te Atua ki a Mohi: ko tenei tangata ia kahore matou e matau ki tona wahi i haere mai ai.
30 Na ka whakahoki taua tangata, ka mea ki a ratou, Ha! he mea whakamiharo ra tenei, kahore koutou i matau ki tona wahi i haere mai ai, otira kua meinga e ia oku kanohi kia kite.
31 E matau ana ra tatou, e kore te Atua e whakarongo ki nga tangata hara: tena ki te mea he tangata karakia tetahi ki te Atua, he mea i tana e pai ai, ka whakarongo ia ki a ia.
32 Kahore rawa i rangona no te timatanga ra ano o te ao, i whakatirohia e tetahi nga kanohi o te tangata i whanau matapo.
33 Ki te mea kihai i puta mai tenei tangata i te Atua, e kore e taea e ia tetahi mea.
34 Na ka whakahoki ratou, ka mea ki a ia, I whanau pu koe i roto i nga hara, ko koe ranei hei whakaako i a matou? Na peia ana ia e ratou ki waho.
35 I rongo a Ihu kua oti ia te pei e ratou ki waho; a, i tona kitenga i a ia, ka mea ki a ia, E whakapono ana ranei koe ki te Tama a te Atua?
36 Ka whakahoki ia, ka mea, Ko wai ia, e te Ariki, kia whakapono ai ahau ki a ia?
37 Ka mea a Ihu ki a ia, Kua kite koe i a ia, ko ia hoki tenei e korero nei ki a koe.
38 Na ko tana meatanga, E te Ariki, e whakapono ana ahau. Na koropiko ana ia ki a ia.
39 Katahi a Ihu ka mea, I haere mai ahau ki tenei ao ki te whakarite whakawa, he mea e kite ai te hunga kahore nei i kite; e whakamatapotia ai hoki te hunga e kite ana.
40 A, ka rangona enei mea e etahi o nga Parihi e tu tahi ana me ia, ka mea ratou ki a ia, E matapo ana ano ranei matou?
41 Ka mea a Ihu ki a ratou, Me i matapo koutou, kahore o koutou hara: tena ka mea na koutou, E kite ana matou; na e mau na to koutou hara.

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)
