We must do what the one who sent me wants us to do while it is day. The night when no one can do anything is coming.
5
As long as I'm in the world, I'm light for the world."
6
After Jesus said this, he spit on the ground and mixed the spit with dirt. Then he smeared it on the man's eyes
7
and told him, "Wash it off in the pool of Siloam." (Siloam means "sent.") The blind man washed it off and returned. He was able to see.
8
His neighbors and those who had previously seen him begging asked, "Isn't this the man who used to sit and beg?"
9
Some of them said, "He's the one." Others said, "No, he isn't, but he looks like him." But the man himself said, "I am the one."
10
So they asked him, "How did you receive your sight?"
11
He replied, "The man people call Jesus mixed some spit with dirt, smeared it on my eyes, and told me, 'Go to Siloam, and wash it off.' So I went there, washed it off, and received my sight."
12
They asked him, "Where is that man?" The man answered, "I don't know."
13
Some people brought the man who had been blind to the Pharisees.
14
The day when Jesus mixed the spit and dirt and gave the man sight was a day of worship.
