1 As Jesus walked along, he saw a man who had been born blind. 2 His disciples asked him, |Rabbi, why was this man born blind? Did he or his parents sin?| 3 Jesus answered, |Neither this man nor his parents sinned. Instead, he was born blind so that God could show what he can do for him. 4 We must do what the one who sent me wants us to do while it is day. The night when no one can do anything is coming. 5 As long as I'm in the world, I'm light for the world.| 6 After Jesus said this, he spit on the ground and mixed the spit with dirt. Then he smeared it on the man's eyes 7 and told him, |Wash it off in the pool of Siloam.| ([Siloam] means |sent.|) The blind man washed it off and returned. He was able to see.
