John 9:1-7

Healing the Man Born Blind

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

2 And His disciples asked Him, "¹Rabbi, who sinned, ²this man or his ³parents, that he would be born blind?"

3 Jesus answered, "It was neither that this man sinned, nor his parents; but it was so ⁴that the works of God might be displayed in him.

4 "We must work the works of Him who sent Me ⁵as long as it is day; night is coming when no one can work.

5 "While I am in the world, I am ⁶the Light of the world."

6 When He had said this, He ⁷spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and applied the clay to his eyes,

7 and said to him, "Go, wash in ⁸the pool of Siloam " (which is translated, Sent ). So he went away and ⁹washed, and ¹⁰came back seeing.
