John 9:1-8

1 And as Jesus passed by , he saw a man which was blind from his birth.
2 And his disciples asked him, saying , Master, who did sin , this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?
3 Jesus answered , Neither hath this man sinned , nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.
4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh , when no man can work .
5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
6 When he had thus spoken , he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed * the eyes of the blind man with the clay,
7 And said unto him, Go , wash in the pool of Siloam, * (which is by interpretation , Sent .) He went his way therefore, and washed , and came seeing .
8 The neighbours therefore, and they which before had seen him that he was blind, said , Is not this he that sat and begged ?
