João 9:5 In-Context

3 Respondeu Jesus: Nem ele pecou nem seus pais; mas foi para que nele se manifestem as obras de Deus.
4 Importa que façamos as obras daquele que me enviou, enquanto é dia; vem a noite, quando ninguém pode trabalhar.
5 Enquanto estou no mundo, sou a luz do mundo.

7 e disse-lhe: Vai, lava-te no tanque de Siloé (que significa Enviado). E ele foi, lavou-se, e voltou vendo.
