John 9

¹And when he went on his way, he saw a man blind from birth.

²And his disciples put a question to him, saying, Master, was it because of this man's sin, or the sin of his father and mother, that he has been blind from birth?

³Jesus said in answer, It was not because of his sin, or because of his father's or mother's; it was so that the works of God might be seen openly in him.

⁴While it is day we have to do the works of him who sent me: the night comes when no work may be done.

⁵As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.

⁶Having said these words, he put earth, mixed with water from his mouth, on the man's eyes,

⁷And said to him, Go and make yourself clean in the bath of Siloam (the sense of the name is, Sent). So he went away and, after washing, came back able to see.

⁸Then the neighbours and others who had seen him before in the street, with his hand out for money, said, Is not this the man who got money from people?

⁹Some said, It is he: others said, No, but he is like him. He said, I am he.

¹⁰So they said to him, How then were your eyes made open?

¹¹His answer was: The man who is named Jesus put earth mixed with water on my eyes, and said to me, Go and make yourself clean in Siloam: so I went away and, after washing, am now able to see.

¹²And they said to him, Where is he? His answer was: I have no knowledge.

¹³They took him before the Pharisees — this man who had been blind.
