1 και παραγων ειδεν ανθρωπον τυφλον εκ γενετης.
1 Y PASANDO [Jesús], vió un hombre ciego desde su nacimiento.
1 As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth.
2 και ηρωτησαν αυτον οι μαθηται αυτου λεγοντες· ραββι, τις ημαρτεν, ουτος η οι γονεις αυτου, ινα τυφλος γεννηθη;
2 Y preguntáronle sus discípulos, diciendo: Rabbí, ¿quién pecó, éste ó sus padres, para que naciese ciego?
2 His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”
3 απεκριθη ιησους· ουτε ουτος ημαρτεν ουτε οι γονεις αυτου, αλλ ινα φανερωθη τα εργα του θεου εν αυτω.
3 Respondió Jesús: Ni éste pecó, ni sus padres: mas para que las obras de Dios se manifiesten en 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 εμε δει εργαζεσθαι τα εργα του πεμψαντος με εως ημερα εστιν· ερχεται νυξ οτε ουδεις δυναται εργαζεσθαι.
4 Conviéneme obrar las obras del que me envió, entre tanto que el día dura: la noche viene, cuando nadie puede obrar.
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 οταν εν τω κοσμω ω, φως ειμι του κοσμου.
5 Entre tanto que estuviere en el mundo, luz soy del mundo.
5 While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”
6 ταυτα ειπων επτυσεν χαμαι και εποιησεν πηλον εκ του πτυσματος, και επεχρισεν τον πηλον επι τους οφθαλμους του τυφλου
6 Esto dicho, escupió en tierra, é hizo lodo con la saliva, y untó con el lodo sobre los ojos del ciego,
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 και ειπεν αυτω· υπαγε νιψαι εις την κολυμβηθραν του σιλωαμ, ο ερμηνευεται απεσταλμενος. απηλθεν ουν και ενιψατο, και ηλθεν βλεπων.
7 Y díjole: Ve, lávate en el estanque de Siloé (que significa, si [lo] interpretares, Enviado). Y fué entonces, y lavóse, y volvió viendo.
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 οι ουν γειτονες και οι θεωρουντες αυτον το προτερον οτι τυφλος ην, ελεγον· ουχ ουτος εστιν ο καθημενος και προσαιτων;
8 Entonces los vecinos, y los que antes le habían visto que era ciego, decían: ¿No es éste el que se sentaba y mendigaba?
8 Therefore the neighbors and those who saw that he was blind before said, “Isn’t this he who sat and begged?”
9 αλλοι ελεγον οτι ουτος εστιν· αλλοι δε οτι ομοιος αυτω εστιν. εκεινος ελεγεν οτι εγω ειμι.
9 Unos decían: Este es; y otros: A él se parece. El decía: Yo soy.
9 Others were saying, “It is he.” Still others were saying, “He looks like him.” He said, “I am he.”
10 ελεγον ουν αυτω· πως ανεωχθησαν σου οι οφθαλμοι;
10 Y dijéronle: ¿Cómo te fueron abiertos los ojos?
10 They therefore were asking him, “How were your eyes opened?”
11 απεκριθη εκεινος και ειπεν· ανθρωπος λεγομενος ιησους πηλον εποιησεν και επεχρισεν μου τους οφθαλμους και ειπεν μοι· υπαγε εις την κολυμβηθραν του σιλωαμ και νιψαι· απελθων δε και νιψαμενος ανεβλεψα.
11 Respondió él y dijo: El hombre que se llama Jesús, hizo lodo, y me untó los ojos, y me dijo: Ve al Siloé, y lávate: y fuí, y me lavé, y recibí la vista.
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 ειπον ουν αυτω· που εστιν εκεινος; λεγει· ουκ οιδα.
12 Entonces le dijeron: ¿Dónde está aquél? El dijo: No sé.
12 Then they asked him, “Where is he?” He said, “I don’t know.”
13 αγουσιν αυτον προς τους φαρισαιους, τον ποτε τυφλον.
13 Llevaron á los Fariseos al que antes había sido ciego.
13 They brought him who had been blind to the Pharisees.
14 ην δε σαββατον οτε τον πηλον εποιησεν ο ιησους και ανεωξεν αυτου τους οφθαλμους.
14 Y era sábado cuando Jesús había hecho el lodo, y le había abierto los ojos.
14 It was a Sabbath when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes.
15 παλιν ουν ηρωτων αυτον και οι φαρισαιοι πως ανεβλεψεν. ο δε ειπεν αυτοις· πηλον επεθηκεν μου επι τους οφθαλμους, και ενιψαμην, και βλεπω.
15 Y volviéronle á preguntar también los Fariseos de qué manera había recibido la vista. Y él les dijo: Púsome lodo sobre los ojos, y me lavé, y veo.
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 ελεγον ουν εκ των φαρισαιων τινες· ουτος ο ανθρωπος ουκ εστιν παρα του θεου, οτι το σαββατον ου τηρει. αλλοι ελεγον· πως δυναται ανθρωπος αμαρτωλος τοιαυτα σημεια ποιειν; και σχισμα ην εν αυτοις.
16 Entonces unos de los Fariseos decían: Este hombre no es de Dios, que no guarda el sábado. Otros decían: ¿Cómo puede un hombre pecador hacer estas señales? Y había disensión 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 λεγουσιν τω τυφλω παλιν· συ τι λεγεις περι αυτου, οτι ηνοιξεν σου τους οφθαλμους; ο δε ειπεν οτι προφητης εστιν.
17 Vuelven á decir al ciego: ¿Tú, qué dices del que te abrió los ojos? Y él dijo: Que es 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 ουκ επιστευσαν ουν οι ιουδαιοι περι αυτου οτι τυφλος ην και ανεβλεψεν, εως οτου εφωνησαν τους γονεις αυτου του αναβλεψαντος
18 Mas los Judíos no creían de él, que había sido ciego, y hubiese recibido la vista, hasta que llamaron á los padres del que había recibido la vista;
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 και ηρωτησαν αυτους λεγοντες· ουτος εστιν ο υιος υμων, ον υμεις λεγετε οτι τυφλος εγεννηθη; πως ουν αρτι βλεπει;
19 Y preguntáronles, diciendo: ¿Es éste vuestro hijo, el que vosotros decís que nació ciego? ¿Cómo, pues, ve ahora?
19 and asked them, “Is this your son, whom you say was born blind? How then does he now see?”
20 απεκριθησαν δε αυτοις οι γονεις αυτου και ειπον· οιδαμεν οτι ουτος εστιν ο υιος ημων και οτι τυφλος εγεννηθη·
20 Respondiéronles sus padres y dijeron: Sabemos que éste 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 πως δε νυν βλεπει ουκ οιδαμεν, η τις ηνοιξεν αυτου τους οφθαλμους ημεις ουκ οιδαμεν· αυτος ηλικιαν εχει, αυτον ερωτησατε, αυτος περι εαυτου λαλησει.
21 Mas cómo vea ahora, no sabemos; ó quién le haya abierto los ojos, nosotros no lo sabemos; él tiene edad, preguntadle á él; él hablará de sí.
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 ταυτα ειπον οι γονεις αυτου, οτι εφοβουντο τους ιουδαιους· ηδη γαρ συνετεθειντο οι ιουδαιοι ινα, εαν τις αυτον ομολογηση χριστον, αποσυναγωγος γενηται.
22 Esto dijeron sus padres, porque tenían miedo de los Judíos: porque ya los Judíos habían resuelto que si alguno confesase ser él el Mesías, fuese fuera de la sinagoga.
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 δια τουτο οι γονεις αυτου ειπον οτι ηλικιαν εχει, αυτον ερωτησατε.
23 Por eso dijeron sus padres: Edad tiene, preguntadle á él.
23 Therefore his parents said, “He is of age. Ask him.”
24 εφωνησαν ουν εκ δευτερου τον ανθρωπον ος ην τυφλος, και ειπον αυτω· δος δοξαν τω θεω· ημεις οιδαμεν οτι ο ανθρωπος ουτος αμαρτωλος εστιν.
24 Así que, volvieron á llamar al hombre que había sido ciego, y dijéronle: Da gloria á 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 απεκριθη ουν εκεινος και ειπεν· ει αμαρτωλος εστιν ουκ οιδα· εν οιδα, οτι τυφλος ων αρτι βλεπω.
25 Entonces él respondió, y dijo: Si es pecador, no lo sé: una cosa sé, que habiendo yo sido ciego, 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 ειπον δε αυτω παλιν· τι εποιησεν σοι; πως ηνοιξεν σου τους οφθαλμους;
26 Y volviéronle á decir: ¿Qué te hizo? ¿Cómo te abrió los ojos?
26 They said to him again, “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?”
27 απεκριθη αυτοις· ειπον υμιν ηδη, και ουκ ηκουσατε· τι παλιν θελετε ακουειν; μη και υμεις θελετε αυτου μαθηται γενεσθαι;
27 Respondióles: Ya os [lo] he dicho, y no habéis atendido: ¿por qué lo queréis otra vez oir? ¿queréis también vosotros haceros 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 ελοιδορησαν αυτον και ειπον· συ ει μαθητης εκεινου· ημεις δε του μωυσεως εσμεν μαθηται.
28 Y le ultrajaron, y dijeron: Tú eres su discípulo; pero nosotros discípulos de Moisés somos.
28 They insulted him and said, “You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.
29 ημεις οιδαμεν οτι μωυσει λελαληκεν ο θεος· τουτον δε ουκ οιδαμεν ποθεν εστιν.
29 Nosotros sabemos que á Moisés habló Dios: mas éste no sabemos de dónde es.
29 We know that God has spoken to Moses. But as for this man, we don’t know where he comes from.”
30 απεκριθη ο ανθρωπος και ειπεν αυτοις· εν γαρ τουτω θαυμαστον εστιν, οτι υμεις ουκ οιδατε ποθεν εστιν, και ανεωξεν μου τους οφθαλμους.
30 Respondió aquel hombre, y díjoles: Por cierto, maravillosa cosa es ésta, que vosotros no sabéis de dónde sea, y [á mí] me abrió los ojos.
30 The man answered them, “How amazing! You don’t know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes.
31 οιδαμεν δε οτι αμαρτωλων ο θεος ουκ ακουει, αλλ εαν τις θεοσεβης η και το θελημα αυτου ποιη, τουτου ακουει.
31 Y sabemos que Dios no oye á los pecadores: mas si alguno es temeroso de Dios, y hace su voluntad, á éste oye.
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 εκ του αιωνος ουκ ηκουσθη οτι ηνοιξεν τις οφθαλμους τυφλου γεγεννημενου.
32 Desde el siglo no fué oído, que abriese alguno los ojos de uno que nació ciego.
32 Since the world began it has never been heard of that anyone opened the eyes of someone born blind.
33 ει μη ην ουτος παρα θεου, ουκ ηδυνατο ποιειν ουδεν.
33 Si éste no fuera de Dios, no pudiera hacer nada.
33 If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.”
34 απεκριθησαν και ειπον αυτω· εν αμαρτιαις συ εγεννηθης ολος, και συ διδασκεις ημας; και εξεβαλον αυτον εξω.
34 Respondieron, y dijéronle: En pecados eres nacido todo, ¿y tú nos enseñas? Y echáronle fuera.
34 They answered him, “You were altogether born in sins, and do you teach us?” Then they threw him out.
35 ηκουσεν ο ιησους οτι εξεβαλον αυτον εξω, και ευρων αυτον ειπεν αυτω· συ πιστευεις εις τον υιον του θεου;
35 Oyó Jesús que le habían echado fuera; y hallándole, díjole: ¿Crees tú en el Hijo de Dios?
35 Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and finding him, he said, “Do you believe in the Son of God?”
36 απεκριθη εκεινος και ειπεν· και τις εστιν, κυριε, ινα πιστευσω εις αυτον;
36 Respondió él, y dijo: ¿Quién es, Señor, para que crea en él?
36 He answered, “Who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him?”
37 ειπεν δε αυτω ο ιησους· και εωρακας αυτον και ο λαλων μετα σου εκεινος εστιν.
37 Y díjole Jesús: Y le has visto, y el que habla contigo, él es.
37 Jesus said to him, “You have both seen him, and it is he who speaks with you.”
38 ο δε εφη· πιστευω, κυριε· και προσεκυνησεν αυτω.
38 Y él dice: Creo, Señor; y adoróle.
38 He said, “Lord, I believe!” and he worshiped him.
39 και ειπεν ο ιησους· εις κριμα εγω εις τον κοσμον τουτον ηλθον, ινα οι μη βλεποντες βλεπωσιν και οι βλεποντες τυφλοι γενωνται.
39 Y dijo Jesús: Yo, para juicio he venido á este mundo: para que los que no ven, vean; y los que ven, sean cegados.
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 και ηκουσαν εκ των φαρισαιων ταυτα οι οντες μετ αυτου, και ειπον αυτω· μη και ημεις τυφλοι εσμεν;
40 Y [ciertos] de los Fariseos que estaban con él oyeron esto, y dijéronle: ¿Somos nosotros también ciegos?
40 Those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and said to him, “Are we also blind?”
41 ειπεν αυτοις ο ιησους· ει τυφλοι ητε, ουκ αν ειχετε αμαρτιαν· νυν δε λεγετε οτι βλεπομεν· η ουν αμαρτια υμων μενει.
41 Díjoles Jesús: Si fuerais ciegos, no tuvierais pecado: mas ahora porque decís, Vemos, por tanto vuestro pecado permanece.
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.
Read in context · Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, series 1, vol. 6 (1888)
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.
Read in context · Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, series 1, vol. 14 (1889)
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.
