WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Cuando pasaba, Jesús vio a un hombre que era ciego de nacimiento.
1 As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth.
2 Y sus discípulos le preguntaron: ―Maestro, ¿este hombre nació ciego por culpa de su pecado o por el pecado de sus padres?
2 His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”
3 Jesús les respondió: ―Ni por el pecado de él ni por el de sus padres, sino para que todos vean lo que Dios hace en la vida de él.
3 Jesus answered, “This man didn’t sin, nor did his parents, but that the works of God might be revealed in him.
4 Mientras es de día, tenemos que cumplir con el trabajo del que me envió. Viene la noche cuando ya nadie pueda trabajar.
4 I must work the works of him who sent me while it is day. The night is coming, when no one can work.
5 Mientras yo estoy en el mundo, soy la luz del mundo.
5 While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”
6 Al acabar de decir esto, escupió en el suelo, hizo lodo con la saliva, se lo untó al ciego en los ojos y le dijo:
6 When he had said this, he spat on the ground, made mud with the saliva, anointed the blind man’s eyes with the mud,
7 ―Ve y lávate en el estanque de Siloé (que significa: Enviado). El ciego fue y se lavó, y al regresar ya veía.
7 and said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which means “Sent”). So he went away, washed, and came back seeing.
8 Sus vecinos y los que antes lo habían visto pedir limosna decían: «¿No es este el que se sienta a pedir limosna?».
8 Therefore the neighbors and those who saw that he was blind before said, “Isn’t this he who sat and begged?”
9 Unos decían: «Sí, es él». Otros decían: «No, no es él, sólo se parece a él». Pero él decía: «Sí, yo soy».
9 Others were saying, “It is he.” Still others were saying, “He looks like him.” He said, “I am he.”
10 Le preguntaron: ―¿Cómo se te abrieron los ojos?
10 They therefore were asking him, “How were your eyes opened?”
11 Él contestó: ―Un hombre que se llama Jesús hizo un poco de lodo, me lo untó en los ojos y me dijo: “Ve y lávate en Siloé”. Yo fui, me lavé, y ahora puedo ver.
11 He answered, “A man called Jesus made mud, anointed my eyes, and said to me, ‘Go to the pool of Siloam and wash.’ So I went away and washed, and I received sight.”
12 Le preguntaron: ―¿Y dónde está ese hombre? Él respondió: ―No lo sé.
12 Then they asked him, “Where is he?” He said, “I don’t know.”
13 Al que había sido ciego lo llevaron ante los fariseos.
13 They brought him who had been blind to the Pharisees.
14 Era sábado cuando Jesús hizo el lodo y le abrió los ojos al ciego.
14 It was a Sabbath when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes.
15 Por eso los fariseos le preguntaron cómo era que podía ver. Él les respondió: «Me untó lodo en los ojos, me lavé, y ahora puedo ver».
15 Again therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he received his sight. He said to them, “He put mud on my eyes, I washed, and I see.”
16 Algunos fariseos decían: «Ese hombre no viene de parte Dios, porque no respeta el sábado». Pero otros decían: «¿Cómo puede un pecador hacer señales milagrosas como esta?». Y no llegaban a ningún acuerdo entre ellos.
16 Some therefore of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, because he doesn’t keep the Sabbath.” Others said, “How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?” So there was division among them.
17 Por eso volvieron a preguntarle al que había sido ciego: ―Él fue quien te dio la vista; ¿qué opinas de él? Él contestó: ―Yo digo que es un profeta.
17 Therefore they asked the blind man again, “What do you say about him, because he opened your eyes?” He said, “He is a prophet.”
18 Pero los judíos no creían que ese hombre hubiera sido ciego y que ahora pudiera ver. Así que llamaron a sus padres
18 The Jews therefore didn’t believe concerning him, that he had been blind and had received his sight, until they called the parents of him who had received his sight,
19 y les preguntaron: ―¿Es este su hijo? ¿Es verdad que nació ciego? ¿Cómo es que ahora puede ver?
19 and asked them, “Is this your son, whom you say was born blind? How then does he now see?”
20 Los padres contestaron: ―Sabemos que es nuestro hijo y que nació ciego.
20 His parents answered them, “We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;
21 Pero no sabemos cómo ahora puede ver ni quién le dio la vista. Pregúntenselo a él, pues ya es mayor de edad y puede responder por sí mismo.
21 but how he now sees, we don’t know; or who opened his eyes, we don’t know. He is of age. Ask him. He will speak for himself.”
22 Sus padres contestaron así porque tenían miedo de los judíos, pues estos se habían puesto de acuerdo para expulsar de la sinagoga a todo el que reconociera que Jesús era el Cristo.
22 His parents said these things because they feared the Jews; for the Jews had already agreed that if any man would confess him as Christ, he would be put out of the synagogue.
23 Not in this translation
23 Therefore his parents said, “He is of age. Ask him.”
24 Los judíos llamaron una vez más al que había sido ciego, y le dijeron: ―Júralo por Dios. Nosotros sabemos que este hombre es pecador.
24 So they called the man who was blind a second time, and said to him, “Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner.”
25 El hombre respondió: ―Yo no sé si es pecador. Lo único que sé es que yo era ciego y ahora veo.
25 He therefore answered, “I don’t know if he is a sinner. One thing I do know: that though I was blind, now I see.”
26 Ellos volvieron a preguntarle: ―¿Qué te hizo? ¿Cómo te dio la vista?
26 They said to him again, “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?”
27 Él les contestó: ―Ya se lo dije y no me hicieron caso. ¿Para qué quieren oírlo otra vez? ¿Acaso quieren hacerse sus discípulos?
27 He answered them, “I told you already, and you didn’t listen. Why do you want to hear it again? You don’t also want to become his disciples, do you?”
28 Entonces ellos lo insultaron y le dijeron: ―Discípulo de ese hombre lo serás tú. Nosotros somos discípulos de Moisés.
28 They insulted him and said, “You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.
29 Sabemos que Dios le habló a Moisés, pero de este no sabemos nada.
29 We know that God has spoken to Moses. But as for this man, we don’t know where he comes from.”
30 El hombre respondió: ―¡Qué extraño que ustedes no sepan nada de él y que a mí me haya dado la vista!
30 The man answered them, “How amazing! You don’t know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes.
31 Sabemos que Dios no escucha a los pecadores, pero sí escucha a los que lo adoran y hacen su voluntad.
31 We know that God doesn’t listen to sinners, but if anyone is a worshiper of God and does his will, he listens to him.
32 Nunca se ha sabido que alguien le haya dado la vista a alguien que hubiera nacido ciego.
32 Since the world began it has never been heard of that anyone opened the eyes of someone born blind.
33 Si este hombre no viniera de parte de Dios, no podría hacer nada.
33 If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.”
34 Ellos le respondieron: ―Tú, que desde que naciste eres un pecador, ¿vas a darnos lecciones a nosotros? Y lo echaron de allí.
34 They answered him, “You were altogether born in sins, and do you teach us?” Then they threw him out.
35 Jesús se enteró de que habían expulsado a ese hombre, y al encontrarse con él le preguntó: ―¿Crees en el Hijo del hombre?
35 Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and finding him, he said, “Do you believe in the Son of God?”
36 Él le dijo: ―¿Quién es, Señor? Dímelo, para que crea en él.
36 He answered, “Who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him?”
37 Jesús le contestó: ―Pues ya lo has visto; soy yo, que estoy hablando contigo.
37 Jesus said to him, “You have both seen him, and it is he who speaks with you.”
38 El hombre le dijo: ―Creo, Señor. Se puso de rodillas delante de Jesús, y lo adoró.
38 He said, “Lord, I believe!” and he worshiped him.
39 Entonces Jesús dijo: ―Yo he venido a este mundo para juzgarlo. Para que los ciegos vean, y para que se queden ciegos los que ven.
39 Jesus said, “I came into this world for judgment, that those who don’t see may see; and that those who see may become blind.”
40 Algunos fariseos que estaban con él, al oír que decía esto, le preguntaron: ―¿Quieres decir que nosotros somos ciegos?
40 Those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and said to him, “Are we also blind?”
41 Jesús les contestó: ―Si ustedes fueran ciegos, no serían culpables de sus pecados. Pero como aseguran que ven, son culpables de pecado.
41 Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say, ‘We see.’ Therefore your sin remains.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
The Lord Jesus, as we heard when the Holy Gospel was being read, opened the eyes of a man who was born blind. Brethren, if we consider our hereditary punishment, the whole world is blind. And therefore came Christ the Enlightener, because the devil had been the Blinder.

We have just read the long lesson of the man born blind, whom the Lord Jesus restored to the light; but were we to attempt handling the whole of it, and considering, according to our ability, each passage in a way proportionate to its worth, the day would be insufficient.
Read in context · Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, series 1, vol. 7 (1888)
"And as Jesus passed by, He saw a man which was blind from his birth." Being full of love for man, and caring for our salvation, and desiring to stop the mouths of the foolish, He omitteth nothing of His own part, though there be none to give heed.

They also maintain that the Saviour exhibited an emblem of this mystery in the case of that man who was blind from his birth, since the Æon was in this manner produced by Monogenes blind, that is, in ignorance, thus falsely ascribing ignorance and blindness to the Word of God, who, according to their own theory, holds the second [place …
The pool of Siloam, for example, where the man whose eyes our Lord had anointed with clay made out of spittle was commanded to wash, has a figurative significance, and undoubtedly conveys a secret sense; but yet if the evangelist had not interpreted that name, a meaning so important would lie unnoticed.
