1  And as he passed on, 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, Neither has this man sinned nor his parents, but that the works of God should be manifested in him. 4  I must work the works of him that has sent me while it is day. The night is coming, when no one can work. 5  As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world. 6  Having said these things, he spat on the ground and made mud of the spittle, and put the mud, as ointment, on his eyes. 7  And he said to him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, which is interpreted, Sent. He went therefore and washed, and came seeing.

8  The neighbours therefore, and those who used to see him before, that he was a beggar, said, Is not this he that was sitting and begging? 9  Some said, It is he; others said, No, but he is like him: he said, It is I. 10  They said therefore to him, How have thine eyes been opened? 11  He answered and said, A man called Jesus made mud and anointed mine eyes, and said to me, Go to Siloam and wash: and having gone and washed, I saw. 12  They said therefore to him, Where is he? He says, I do not know.
