John 9:1-7 ▼

1 As he was walking along, he observed a man who had been blind from birth.

2 His disciples asked him, |Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that caused him to be born blind?|

3 Jesus answered, |Neither this man nor his parents sinned. This happened so that God's work might be revealed in him.

4 I must do the work of the one who sent me while it is day. Night is approaching, when no one can work.

5 As long as I'm in the world, I'm the light of the world.|

6 After saying this, he spit on the ground and made mud with the saliva. Then he spread the mud on the man's eyes

7 and told him, |Go and wash in the pool of Siloam| (which is translated |Sent One|). So he went off, washed, and came back seeing.
