Johannes 9
Jesus Heals the Man Born Blind
11 Han svarte: «Mannen de kaller Jesus laget litt leire og satte det på øynene mine. Han ba meg gå til Siloam og vaske meg. Så jeg gikk og vasket meg, og da kunne jeg se.»
11 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.”
The Pharisees Investigate the Healing
16 Noen av fariseerne sa: «Denne mannen er ikke fra Gud, fordi Han ikke holder sabbaten.» Men andre spurte: «Hvordan kan en synder utføre slike tegn?» Så det var splittelse blant dem.
16 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.
22 Hans foreldre sa dette fordi de var redde for de jødiske lederne, som allerede hadde bestemt at alle som anerkjente Jesus som Messias ville bli utstøtt fra synagogen.
22 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.
