John 9:1-12 - A Man Born Blind Is Given Sight

¹ As he passed along, he saw a man who had been blind from his birth. ² His disciples asked him, "Master, for whose sin was this man born blind? For his own, or for that of his parents?"

³ Jesus answered, "It was neither for his own sin nor for that of his parents, but to let what God can do be illustrated in his case. ⁴ We must carry on the work of him who has sent me while the daylight lasts. Night is coming, when no one can do any work. ⁵ As long as I am in the world, I am a light for the world."

⁶ As he said this he spat on the ground and made clay with the saliva, and he put the clay on the man's eyes, ⁷ and said to him, "Go and wash them in the Pool of Siloam"?? name which means One who has been sent. So he went and washed them, and went home able to see.

⁸ Then his neighbors and people who had formerly seen him begging, said, "Is not this the man who used to sit and beg?" ⁹ Some said, "Yes! It is he!" Others said, "No! but he looks like him." He himself said, "I am the man."

¹⁰ So they said to him, "Then how does it happen that you can see?"

¹¹ He answered, "The man they call Jesus made some clay and rubbed it on my eyes, and said to me, 'Go to Siloam and wash them.' So I went and when I had washed them I could see."

¹² They said to him, "Where is he?" He answered, "I do not know."
