John 9:1-12 - A Man Born Blind Is Given Sight
1 As Jesus passed by, he saw a man that was born blind. 2 and his disciples propos'd to him this question, master, was it for his own sins, or for the sins of his parents, that he was born blind?
3 it was not for any sin of his, said Jesus, or of his parents: but that the works of God might be displayed thro' him. 4 I must perform the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night is coming, when no man can work. 5 while I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
6 having said this, he spit on the ground, which by means of his saliva he made into clay, wherewith he anointed the eyes of the blind man, 7 and said to him, go wash in the pool of Siloam (a word which signifies sent.) so he went and washed, and came seeing.
8 the neighbours therefore, and they who before had seen him begging, said, is not this he that used to sit begging? 9 this is he, said some; he is like him, said others: but he said, I am the man.
10 thereupon they said to him, how did you come to your sight?
11 he answered, a man call'd Jesus made clay, and anointed my eyes, and said to me, go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: I went, and washed, and so I saw.
12 then said they to him, where is he? I don't know, said he.
