3
Jesus said in answer, It was not because of his sin, or because of his father's or mother's; it was so that the works of God might be seen openly in him.
4
While it is day we have to do the works of him who sent me: the night comes when no work may be done.
5
As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
6
Having said these words, he put earth, mixed with water from his mouth, on the man's eyes,
7
And said to him, Go and make yourself clean in the bath of Siloam (the sense of the name is, Sent). So he went away and, after washing, came back able to see.
8
Then the neighbours and others who had seen him before in the street, with his hand out for money, said, Is not this the man who got money from people?
9
Some said, It is he: others said, No, but he is like him. He said, I am he.
10
So they said to him, How then were your eyes made open?
11
His answer was: The man who is named Jesus put earth mixed with water on my eyes, and said to me, Go and make yourself clean in Siloam: so I went away and, after washing, am now able to see.
12
And they said to him, Where is he? His answer was: I have no knowledge.
13
They took him before the Pharisees--this man who had been blind.
