3. 3VULRespondit Jesus: Neque hic peccavit, neque parentes ejus: sed ut manifestentur opera Dei in illo.BSBBSB: Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but this happened so that the works of God would be displayed in him.
4. 4VULMe oportet operari opera ejus qui misit me, donec dies est: venit nox, quando nemo potest operari:BSBBSB: While it is daytime, we must do the works of Him who sent Me. Night is coming, when no one can work.

6. 6VULHæc cum dixisset, exspuit in terram, et fecit lutum ex sputo, et linivit lutum super oculos ejus,BSBBSB: When Jesus had said this, He spit on the ground, made some mud, and applied it to the man’s eyes.
7. 7VULet dixit ei: Vade, lava in natatoria Siloë (quod interpretatur Missus). Abiit ergo, et lavit, et venit videns.BSBBSB: Then He told him, “Go, wash in the Pool of Siloam” (which means “Sent”). So the man went and washed, and came back seeing.

9. 9VULAlii autem: Nequaquam, sed similis est ei. Ille vero dicebat: Quia ego sum.BSBBSB: Some claimed that he was, but others said, “No, he just looks like him.” But the man kept saying, “I am the one.”
10. 10VULDicebant ergo ei: Quomodo aperti sunt tibi oculi?BSBBSB: “How then were your eyes opened?” they asked.
11. 11VULRespondit: Ille homo qui dicitur Jesus, lutum fecit: et unxit oculos meos, et dixit mihi: Vade ad natatoria Siloë, et lava. Et abii, et lavi, et video.BSBBSB: He answered, “The man they call Jesus made some mud and anointed my eyes, and He told me to go to Siloam and wash. So I went and washed and received my sight.”
12. 12VULEt dixerunt ei: Ubi est ille? Ait: Nescio.BSBBSB: “Where is He?” they asked. “I do not know,” he answered.
13. 13VULAdducunt eum ad pharisæos, qui cæcus fuerat.BSBBSB: They brought to the Pharisees the man who had been blind.
14. 14VULErat autem sabbatum quando lutum fecit Jesus, et aperuit oculos ejus.BSBBSB: Now the day on which Jesus had made the mud and opened his eyes was a Sabbath.
15. 15VULIterum ergo interrogabant eum pharisæi quomodo vidisset. Ille autem dixit eis: Lutum mihi posuit super oculos, et lavi, et video.BSBBSB: So the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. The man answered, “He put mud on my eyes, and I washed, and now I can see.”
16. 16VULDicebant ergo ex pharisæis quidam: Non est hic homo a Deo, qui sabbatum non custodit. Alii autem dicebant: Quomodo potest homo peccator hæc signa facere? Et schisma erat inter eos.BSBBSB: Because of this, some of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, for He does not keep the Sabbath.” But others said, “How can a sinful man perform such signs?” And there was division among them.
17. 17VULDicunt ergo cæco iterum: Tu quid dicis de illo qui aperuit oculos tuos? Ille autem dixit: Quia propheta est.BSBBSB: So once again they asked the man who had been blind, “What do you say about Him, since it was your eyes He opened?” “He is a prophet,” the man replied.
18. 18VULNon crediderunt ergo Judæi de illo, quia cæcus fuisset et vidisset, donec vocaverunt parentes ejus, qui viderat:BSBBSB: The Jews still did not believe that the man had been blind and had received his sight until they summoned his parents
19. 19VULet interrogaverunt eos, dicentes: Hic est filius vester, quem vos dicitis quia cæcus natus est? quomodo ergo nunc videt?BSBBSB: and asked, “Is this your son, the one you say was born blind? So how is it that he can now see?”
20. 20VULResponderunt eis parentes ejus, et dixerunt: Scimus quia hic est filius noster, et quia cæcus natus est:BSBBSB: His parents answered, “We know he is our son, and we know he was born blind.
21. 21VULquomodo autem nunc videat, nescimus: aut quis ejus aperuit oculos, nos nescimus; ipsum interrogate: ætatem habet, ipse de se loquatur.BSBBSB: But how he can now see or who opened his eyes, we do not know. Ask him. He is old enough to speak for himself.”
22. 22VULHæc dixerunt parentes ejus, quoniam timebant Judæos: jam enim conspiraverunt Judæi, ut si quis eum confiteretur esse Christum, extra synagogam fieret.BSBBSB: His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews. For the Jews had already determined that anyone who confessed Jesus as the Christ would be put out of the synagogue.
23. 23VULPropterea parentes ejus dixerunt: Quia ætatem habet, ipsum interrogate.BSBBSB: That was why his parents said, “He is old enough. Ask him.”
24. 24VULVocaverunt ergo rursum hominem qui fuerat cæcus, et dixerunt ei: Da gloriam Deo: nos scimus quia hic homo peccator est.BSBBSB: So a second time they called for the man who had been blind and said, “Give glory to God! We know that this man is a sinner.”
25. 25VULDixit ergo eis ille: Si peccator est, nescio; unum scio, quia cæcus cum essem, modo video.BSBBSB: He answered, “Whether He is a sinner I do not know. There is one thing I do know: I was blind, but now I see!”
26. 26VULDixerunt ergo illi: Quid fecit tibi? quomodo aperuit tibi oculos?BSBBSB: “What did He do to you?” they asked. “How did He open your eyes?”
27. 27VULRespondit eis: Dixi vobis jam, et audistis: quod iterum vultis audire? numquid et vos vultis discipuli ejus fieri?BSBBSB: He replied, “I already told you, and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you also want to become His disciples?”
28. 28VULMaledixerunt ergo ei, et dixerunt: Tu discipulus illius sis: nos autem Moysi discipuli sumus.BSBBSB: Then they heaped insults on him and said, “You are His disciple; we are disciples of Moses.
29. 29VULNos scimus quia Moysi locutus est Deus; hunc autem nescimus unde sit.BSBBSB: We know that God spoke to Moses, but we do not know where this man is from.”
30. 30VULRespondit ille homo, et dixit eis: In hoc enim mirabile est quia vos nescitis unde sit, et aperuit meos oculos:BSBBSB: “That is remarkable indeed!” the man said. “You do not know where He is from, and yet He opened my eyes.
31. 31VULscimus autem quia peccatores Deus non audit: sed si quis Dei cultor est, et voluntatem ejus facit, hunc exaudit.BSBBSB: We know that God does not listen to sinners, but He does listen to the one who worships Him and does His will.
32. 32VULA sæculo non est auditum quia quis aperuit oculos cæci nati.BSBBSB: Never before has anyone heard of opening the eyes of a man born blind.
33. 33VULNisi esset hic a Deo, non poterat facere quidquam.BSBBSB: If this man were not from God, He could do no such thing.”
34. 34VULResponderunt, et dixerunt ei: In peccatis natus es totus, et tu doces nos? Et ejecerunt eum foras.BSBBSB: They replied, “You were born in utter sin, and you are instructing us?” And they threw him out.
35. 35VULAudivit Jesus quia ejecerunt eum foras: et cum invenisset eum, dixit ei: Tu credis in Filium Dei?BSBBSB: When Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, He found the man and said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?”
36. 36VULRespondit ille, et dixit: Quis est, Domine, ut credam in eum?BSBBSB: “Who is He, Sir?” he replied. “Tell me so that I may believe in Him.”
37. 37VULEt dixit ei Jesus: Et vidisti eum, et qui loquitur tecum, ipse est.BSBBSB: “You have already seen Him,” Jesus answered. “He is the One speaking with you.”
38. 38VULAt ille ait: Credo, Domine. Et procidens adoravit eum.BSBBSB: “Lord, I believe,” he said. And he worshiped Jesus.
39. 39VULEt dixit Jesus: In judicium ego in hunc mundum veni: ut qui non vident videant, et qui vident cæci fiant.BSBBSB: Then Jesus declared, “For judgment I have come into this world, so that the blind may see and those who see may become blind.”
40. 40VULEt audierunt quidam ex pharisæis qui cum ipso erant, et dixerunt ei: Numquid et nos cæci sumus?BSBBSB: Some of the Pharisees who were with Him heard this, and they asked Him, “Are we blind too?”
41. 41VULDixit eis Jesus: Si cæci essetis, non haberetis peccatum. Nunc vero dicitis, Quia videmus: peccatum vestrum manet.BSBBSB: “If you were blind,” Jesus replied, “you would not be guilty of sin. But since you claim you can see, your guilt remains.”
