John 9:1-9 ▼

1 As Jesus passed by, He saw a man who had been blind from birth.

2 And His disciples asked Him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he would be born blind?”

3 Jesus answered, “It was neither that this man sinned, nor his parents; but it was so that the works of God might be displayed in him.

4 We must carry out the works of Him who sent Me as long as it is day; 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 spit on the ground, and made mud from the saliva, and applied the mud to his eyes,

7 and said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which is translated, Sent). So he left and washed, and came back seeing.

8 So the neighbors, and those who previously saw him as a beggar, were saying, “Is this not the one who used to sit and beg?”

9 Others were saying, “This is he,” still others were saying, “No, but he is like him.” The man himself kept saying, “I am the one.”
