1 A l pasar Jesús, vio a un hombre ciego de nacimiento.

As Jesus went on His way, He saw a man who had been born blind.

2 Y Sus discípulos Le preguntaron: “Rabí (Maestro), ¿quién pecó, éste o sus padres, para que naciera ciego?”

His followers asked Him, “Teacher, whose sin made this man to be born blind? Was it the sin of this man or the sin of his parents?”

3 J esús respondió: “Ni éste pecó, ni sus padres; sino que está ciego para que las obras de Dios se manifiesten en él.

Jesus answered, “The sin of this man or the sin of his parents did not make him to be born blind. He was born blind so the work of God would be seen in him.

4 N osotros debemos hacer las obras del que Me envió mientras es de día; la noche viene cuando nadie puede trabajar.

We must keep on doing the work of Him Who sent Me while it is day. Night is coming when no man can work.

5 M ientras estoy en el mundo, Yo soy la Luz del mundo.”

While I am in the world, I am the Light of the world.”

6 H abiendo dicho esto, escupió en tierra, e hizo barro con la saliva y le untó el barro en los ojos al ciego,

After Jesus had said this, He spit on the ground. He mixed it with dust and put that mud on the eyes of the blind man.

7 y le dijo: “Ve y lávate en el estanque de Siloé ” (que quiere decir Enviado). El ciego fue, pues, y se lavó y regresó viendo.

Then Jesus said to him, “Go and wash in the pool of Siloam.” (Siloam means Sent.) The man went away and washed. When he came back, he could see.

8 E ntonces los vecinos y los que antes lo habían visto que era mendigo, decían: “¿No es éste el que se sentaba y mendigaba ?”

Neighbors and others had seen him begging. They said, “Is not this the man who sat and begged?”

9 “ El es,” decían unos. “No, pero se parece a él,” decían otros. El decía: “Yo soy.”

Some said, “This is the one.” Others said, “No, but he looks like him.” But the man who had been blind said, “I am the man.”

10 E ntonces le decían: “¿Cómo te fueron abiertos los ojos?”

They said to him, “How were your eyes opened?”

11 E l respondió: “El hombre que se llama Jesús hizo barro, lo untó sobre mis ojos y me dijo: ‘Ve al estanque de Siloé y lávate.’ Así que fui, me lavé y recibí la vista.”

He answered, “A Man called Jesus made mud and put it on my eyes. Then He said to me, ‘Go and wash in the pool of Siloam.’ I went and washed and I can see.”

12 “ ¿Dónde está El?” le preguntaron. Y él les dijo: “No lo sé.”

Then they asked him, “Where is He?” He answered, “I do not know.” The Proud Religious Law-Keepers Are Troubled about This Healing

13 L levaron ante los Fariseos al que antes había sido ciego.

They took the man who had been born blind to the proud religious law-keepers.

14 Y era día de reposo el día en que Jesús hizo el barro y le abrió los ojos.

It was the Day of Rest when Jesus had made mud and opened his eyes.

15 P or eso los Fariseos volvieron también a preguntarle cómo había recibido la vista. Y él les dijo: “Me puso barro sobre los ojos, y me lavé y veo.”

Again the proud religious law-keepers asked the man who had been born blind how he had been made to see. He answered them, “Jesus put mud on my eyes. I washed and now I see!”

16 P or eso algunos de los Fariseos decían: “Este hombre no viene de Dios, porque no guarda el día de reposo.” Pero otros decían: “¿Cómo puede un hombre pecador hacer tales señales (milagros) ?” Y había división entre ellos.

Some of the proud religious law-keepers said, “The Man Who did this is not from God because He worked on the Day of Rest.” Others said, “How can a sinful man do powerful works?” They could not agree about Jesus.

17 E ntonces preguntaron otra vez al ciego: “¿Qué dices tú de El, ya que te abrió los ojos?” “Es un profeta,” les respondió.

They spoke again to the blind man, saying, “What do you say about Him since He opened your eyes?” He answered, “He is One Who speaks for God.”

18 P ero los Judíos no le creyeron que había sido ciego, y que había recibido la vista, hasta que llamaron a los padres del que había recibido la vista,

The Jews did not believe this man had been blind and had been made to see. They called his parents

19 y les preguntaron: “¿Es éste su hijo, el que ustedes dicen que nació ciego? ¿Cómo es que ahora ve?”

and asked them, “Is this your son? Do you say he was born blind? How does he see now?”

20 E ntonces sus padres les contestaron: “Sabemos que éste es nuestro hijo, y que nació ciego;

They answered, “We know this is our son and we know he was born blind.

21 p ero cómo es que ahora ve, no lo sabemos; o quién le abrió los ojos, nosotros no lo sabemos. Pregúntenle a él; ya es mayor de edad, él hablará por sí mismo.”

But we do not know how it is that he can see now. We do not know who opened his eyes. He is old enough, ask him. He can tell you himself.”

22 S us padres dijeron esto porque tenían miedo a los Judíos; porque los Judíos ya se habían puesto de acuerdo en que si alguien confesaba que Jesús era el Cristo (el Mesías), fuera expulsado de la sinagoga.

His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews. The Jews had talked among themselves. They had agreed that the person who said that Jesus was the Christ would be put out of the Jewish place of worship.

23 P or eso sus padres dijeron: “Ya es mayor de edad; pregúntenle a él.”

That is why his parents said, “He is old enough, ask him.”

24 P or segunda vez los Judíos llamaron al hombre que había sido ciego y le dijeron: “Da gloria a Dios; nosotros sabemos que este hombre es un pecador.”

The proud religious law-keepers asked the man again, who had been blind, to come. They said to him, “Give thanks to God. We know this man is a sinner.”

25 E ntonces él les contestó: “Si es pecador, no lo sé; una cosa sé: que yo era ciego y ahora veo.”

The man who had been blind said to them, “I do not know if He is a sinner or not. One thing I know. I was blind, but now I can see.”

26 E llos volvieron a preguntarle: “¿Qué te hizo? ¿Cómo te abrió los ojos?”

They asked him again, “What did He do to you? How did He open your eyes?”

27 E l les contestó: “Ya les dije y no escucharon; ¿por qué quieren oír lo otra vez? ¿Es que también ustedes quieren hacerse discípulos suyos?”

He answered, “I have told you already. You did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you want to become His followers also?”

28 E ntonces lo insultaron, y le dijeron: “Tú eres discípulo de ese hombre; pero nosotros somos discípulos de Moisés.

The proud religious law-keepers became angry at him and said, “You are a follower of Jesus. We are followers of Moses.

29 N osotros sabemos que Dios habló a Moisés, pero en cuanto a Este, no sabemos de dónde es.”

We know God spoke to Moses. We do not know where this Man is from.”

30 E l hombre les respondió: “Pues en esto hay algo asombroso, que ustedes no sepan de dónde es, y sin embargo, a mí me abrió los ojos.

The man said to them, “This is strange! You do not know where He came from and yet He opened my eyes.

31 S abemos que Dios no oye a los pecadores; pero si alguien teme a Dios y hace Su voluntad, a éste oye.

We know that God does not listen to sinners. We know if anyone loves and worships God, and does what He wants, God listens to him.

32 D esde el principio jamás se ha oído decir que alguien abriera los ojos a un ciego de nacimiento.

From the beginning of the world no one has ever heard of anyone opening the eyes of a man born blind.

33 S i Este no viniera de Dios, no podría hacer nada.”

If this Man were not from God, He would not be able to do anything like this.”

34 E llos le respondieron: “Tú naciste enteramente en pecados, ¿y tú nos enseñas a nosotros?” Y lo echaron fuera.

They said to him, “You were born in sin. Are you trying to teach us?” Then they put him out of the place of worship. Jesus Speaks Sharp Words to the Proud Religious Law-Keepers

35 J esús oyó decir que lo habían echado fuera, y cuando lo encontró, le dijo: “¿Crees tú en el Hijo del Hombre ?”

Jesus heard that the proud religious law-keepers had put the man who had been healed out of the place of worship. He found the man and said to him, “Do you put your trust in the Son of God?”

36 E l le respondió: “¿Y quién es, Señor, para que yo crea en El ?”

He said, “Who is He, Sir? Tell me so that I can put my trust in Him.”

37 J esús le dijo: “Pues tú Lo has visto, y el que está hablando contigo, Ese es.”

Jesus said to him, “You have seen Him. He is talking with you.”

38 E l entonces dijo: “Creo, Señor.” Y Lo adoró.

He said, “I do put my trust in You, Lord.” Then he bowed down before Jesus and worshiped Him.

39 Y Jesús dijo: “Yo vine a este mundo para juicio; para que los que no ven, vean, y para que los que ven se vuelvan ciegos.”

Jesus said, “I came into this world to say what is right from wrong. I came so those who do not see might see, and those who do see might be made blind.”

40 A lgunos de los Fariseos que estaban con El oyeron esto y Le dijeron: “¿Acaso nosotros también somos ciegos ?”

Some of the proud religious law-keepers who were with Him heard this. They said to Him, “Are we blind also?”

41 J esús les dijo: “Si ustedes fueran ciegos, no tendrían pecado; pero ahora, porque dicen: ‘Vemos,’ su pecado permanece.

Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you would not be guilty of sin. But because you say, ‘We see,’ you still are guilty of your sin.
