John 9:1–9
1As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth.↗
2His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”↗
3Jesus answered,“This man didn’t sin, nor did 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.↗
5While 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 back seeing.↗
8Therefore the neighbors and those who saw that he was blind before said, “Isn’t this he who sat and begged?”↗
9Others were saying, “It is he.” Still others were saying, “He looks like him.” He said, “I am he.”↗
