As he passed by, he saw a man blind from his birth.
2
And his disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?"
3
Jesus answered, "It was not that this man sinned, or his parents, but that the works of God might be made manifest in him.
4
We must work the works of him who sent me, while it is day; night comes, when no one can work.
5
As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world."
6
As he said this, he spat on the ground and made clay of the spittle and anointed the man's eyes with the clay,
7
saying to him, "Go, wash in the pool of Silo'am" (which means Sent). So he went and washed and came back seeing.
8
The neighbors and those who had seen him before as a beggar, said, "Is not this the man who used to sit and beg?"
9
Some said, "It is he"; others said, "No, but he is like him." He said, "I am the man."
10
They said to him, "Then how were your eyes opened?"
