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 spit on the ground and made mud with the saliva. 10Then he anointed the man’s eyes with the mud
