John 9:1-7

1 As Jesus walked along, he saw a man who had been born blind.

2 His disciples asked him, "Rabbi, why was this man born blind? Did he or his parents sin?"

3 Jesus answered, "Neither this man nor his parents sinned. Instead, he was born blind so that God could show what he can do for him.

4 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.
