John 9:1-12
1As he passed by, he saw a man blind from his birth.
2His disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?"
3Jesus answered, "Neither did this man sin, nor his parents. But, that the works of God might be revealed in him,
4I must work the works of him who sent me, while it is day. The night is coming, when no one can work.
5When I am in the world, I am the light of the world."
6When he had said this, he spat on the ground, made mud with the saliva, anointed the blind man`s eyes with the mud,
7and said to him, "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam" (which means "Sent"). So he went away, washed, and came seeing.
8The neighbors therefore, and those who saw that he was blind, before, said, "Isn`t this he who sat and begged?"
9Others said, "It is he." Still others said, "He is like him." He said, "I am he."
10They said therefore to him, "How were your eyes opened?"
11He answered, "A man called Jesus made mud, anointed my eyes, and said to me, "Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash." So I went away and washed, and I received sight."
12Then they asked him, "Where is he?" He said, "I don`t know."
