John 9:1–12

The Sixth Sign: Healing a Man Born Blind

9As He was passing by, He saw a man blind from birth. ²His disciples questioned Him: “Rabbi, ^wwho sinned, this man ^xor his parents, ^ythat he was born blind?”

³“Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” Jesus answered. “This came about so that God’s works ^zmight be displayed in him. ⁴We ^amust do the works ^bof Him who sent Me ^cwhile it is day. ^dNight is coming when no one can work. ⁵As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” ^e

⁶After He said these things He spit on the ground, made some mud ^ffrom the saliva, and spread the mud on his eyes. ⁷“Go,” He told him, “wash in the pool of Siloam” ^g(which means “Sent”). So he left, washed, and came back seeing. ^h

⁸His neighbors and those who formerly had seen him as a beggar said, “Isn’t this the man who sat begging?” ⁹Some said, “He’s the one.” “No,” others were saying, “but he looks like him.”

He kept saying, “I’m the one!”

¹⁰Therefore they asked him, “Then how were your eyes opened?”

¹¹He answered, “The man called Jesus made mud, spread it on my eyes, and told me, ‘Go to Siloam ⁱand wash.’ So when I went and washed I received my sight.” ^j

¹²“Where is He?” they asked.

“I don’t know,” he said.
