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

1 And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth; 2 And his disciples asked him saying, "Master, who did sin: this man, or his father and mother, that he was born blind?"

3 Jesus answered, "Neither this man hath sinned, nor yet his father and mother: but that the works of God should be showed on him. 4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day. The night cometh, when no man can work. 5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world."

6 As soon as he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and rubbed the clay on the eyes of the blind, 7 and said unto him, "Go wash thee in the pool of Siloam" - which by interpretation, signifieth Sent. He went his way and washed, and came again seeing.

8 The neighbours, and they that had seen him before how that he was a beggar said, "Is not this he that sat and begged?" 9 Some said, "This is he." Others said, "He is like him." But he himself said, "I am even he."

10 They said unto him, "How are thine eyes opened then?"

11 He answered and said, "The man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, 'Go to the pool Siloam, and wash.' I went and washed and received my sight."

12 They said unto him, "Where is he?" He said, "I cannot tell."
