John 9:1-8

1 And [as he] went away, he saw a man blind from birth.

2 And his disciples asked him, saying, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he should be born blind?"

3 Jesus replied, "Neither this man sinned nor his parents, but [it happened] so that the works of God could be revealed in him.

4 It is necessary [for] us to do the deeds of the one who sent me while it is day; night is coming, when no one can work!

5 While I am in the world, I am the light of the world."

6 [When he] had said these [things], he spat on the ground and made clay with the saliva, and smeared the clay on his eyes.

7 And he said to him, "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam" (which is translated "sent"). So he went and washed and came back seeing.

8 Then the neighbors and those who saw him previously (because he was a beggar) began to say, "Is this man not the one who used to sit and beg?"
