1 Now as Jesus was passing by, he saw a man who had been blind from birth. 2 His disciples asked him, |Rabbi, who committed the sin that caused him to be born blind, this man or his parents?| 3 Jesus answered, |Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but he was born blind so that the acts of God may be revealed through what happens to him. 4 We must perform the deeds of the one who sent me as long as it is daytime. Night is coming when no one can work. 5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.| 6 Having said this, he spat on the ground and made some mud with the saliva. He smeared the mud on the blind man's eyes 7 and said to him, |Go wash in the pool of Siloam| (which is translated |sent|). So the blind man went away and washed, and came back seeing.
