1
And passing by, he saw a man blind from birth,
2
and his disciples asked him, saying, `Rabbi, who did sin, this one or his parents, that he should be born blind?'
3
Jesus answered, `Neither did this one sin nor his parents, but that the works of God may be manifested in him;
4
it behoveth me to be working the works of Him who sent me while it is day; night doth come, when no one is able to work: --
5
when I am in the world, I am a light of the world.'
6
These things saying, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and rubbed the clay on the eyes of the blind man, and said to him,
7
`Go away, wash at the pool of Siloam,' which is, interpreted, Sent. He went away, therefore, and did wash, and came seeing;
8
the neighbours, therefore, and those seeing him before, that he was blind, said, `Is not this he who is sitting and begging?'
9
others said -- `This is he;' and others -- `He is like to him;' he himself said, -- `I am [he].'
10
They said, therefore, to him, `How were thine eyes opened?'
