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

¹ And [as he] went away, he saw a man blind from birth. ² And his disciples asked him, saying, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he should be born blind?"

³ Jesus replied, "Neither this man sinned nor his parents, but [it happened] so that the works of God could be revealed in him. ⁴ It is necessary [for] us to do the deeds of the one who sent me while it is day; night is coming, when no one can work! ⁵ While I am in the world, I am the light of the world."

⁶ [When he] had said these [things], he spat on the ground and made clay with the saliva, and smeared the clay on his eyes. ⁷ And he said to him, "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam" (which is translated "sent"). So he went and washed and came back seeing.

⁸ Then the neighbors and those who saw him previously (because he was a beggar) began to say, "Is this man not the one who used to sit and beg?" ⁹ Others were saying, "It is this man"; others were saying, "No, but he is like him." That one was saying, "I am [he]!"

¹⁰ So they began to say to him, "How were your eyes opened?"

¹¹ He replied, "The man who is called Jesus made clay and smeared [it] on my eyes and said to me, 'Go to Siloam and wash!' So I went, and I washed, [and] I received sight."

¹² And they said to him, "Where is that man?" He said, "I do not know."
