John 9:1-9 ▼

1 As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth.

2 His disciples asked him, |Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?|

3 Jesus answered, |Neither did this man sin, nor his parents; but, that the works of God might be revealed in him.

4 We must work the works of him who sent me, while it is day. The 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 this, he spat on the ground, made mud with the saliva, anointed the blind man's eyes with the mud,

7 and said to him, |Go, wash in the pool of Siloam| (which means |Sent|). So he went away, washed, and came back seeing.

8 The neighbors therefore, and those who saw that he was a beggar before, said, |Is this not the one who used to sit and beg?|

9 Some said, |It is he.| Others said, |He looks like him.| He said, |I am he.|
