1
As Jesus was walking along, he saw a man who had been blind from birth.
2
“Rabbi,” his disciples asked him, “why was this man born blind? Was it because of his own sins or his parents’ sins?”
3
“It was not because of his sins or his parents’ sins,” Jesus answered. “This happened so the power of God could be seen in him.
4
We must quickly carry out the tasks assigned us by the one who sent us. The night is coming, and then no one can work.
5
But while I am here in the world, I am the light of the world.”
6
Then he spit on the ground, made mud with the saliva, and spread the mud over the blind man’s eyes.
7
He told him, “Go wash yourself in the pool of Siloam” (Siloam means “sent”). So the man went and washed and came back seeing!
8
His neighbors and others who knew him as a blind beggar asked each other, “Isn’t this the man who used to sit and beg?”
9
Some said he was, and others said, “No, he just looks like him!” But the beggar kept saying, “Yes, I am the same one!”
