John 9:1-9 ▼

1 And as He passed by, He saw a man blind from birth.

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

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

4 “We must work the works of Him who sent Me, as long as it is day; night is coming, when no man 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, and made clay of the spittle, and applied the clay to his eyes,

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

8 The neighbors therefore, and those who previously saw him as a beggar, were saying, “Is not this 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.” He kept saying, “I am the one.”
