John 9:1–23

And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth. ²And his disciples asked him, saying, ^aMaster, ^bwho did sin, this man, or ^chis parents, that he was born blind? ³Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but ^dthat the works of God should be made manifest in him. ⁴I must work ^ethe works of him that sent me, ^fwhile it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. ⁵As long as I am in the world, ^gI am the light of the world. ⁶When he had thus spoken, ^hhe spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay, ⁷and said unto him, Go, wash in ⁱthe pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) ^jHe went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing.

⁸The neighbours therefore, and they which before had ^kseen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he ^lthat sat and begged? ⁹Some said, This is he: others said, He is like him: but he said, I am he. ¹⁰Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened? ¹¹He answered and said, ^mA man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight. ¹²Then said they unto him, Where is he? He said, I know not.

¹³They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind. ¹⁴And ⁿit was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes. ¹⁵Then ^oagain the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. He said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and do see. ¹⁶Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not ^pof God, ^qbecause he keepeth not the sabbath day. ^rOthers said, ^sHow can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And ^tthere was a division among them. ¹⁷They say unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is ^ua prophet. ¹⁸But ^xthe Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight. ¹⁹And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then doth he now see? ²⁰His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind: ²¹but by what means he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he shall speak for himself. ²²These words spake his parents, because ^ythey feared ^xthe Jews: for ^zthe Jews had agreed already, that if any man did confess that he was Christ, ^ahe should be put out of the synagogue. ²³Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him.
