John 9:1-10

Jesus Heals a Man Born Blind

1 As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth.

2 And his disciples asked him, ¹"Rabbi, ²who sinned, ³this man or ⁴his parents, that he was born blind?"

3 Jesus answered, "It was not that this man sinned, or his parents, but ⁵that the works of God might be displayed in him.

4 We must ⁶work the works of him who sent me ⁷while it is day; night is coming, when no one can work.

5 As long as I am in the world, ⁸I am the light of the world."

6 Having said these things, ⁹he spat on the ground and made mud with the saliva. ¹⁰Then he anointed the man's eyes with the mud

7 and said to him, "Go, wash in ¹¹the pool of Siloam" (which means Sent). So he went and washed and ¹²came back seeing.

8 The neighbors and those who had seen him before as a beggar were saying, ¹³"Is this not the man who used to sit and beg?"

9 Some said, "It is he." Others said, "No, but he is like him." He kept saying, "I am the man."

10 So they said to him, "Then how were your eyes opened?"
