John 9:1–12

Christ Heals the Blind Man

9Now as Jesus passed by, He saw a man who was blind from birth. ²And His disciples asked Him, saying, “Rabbi, ^awho sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”

³Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, ^bbut that the works of God should be revealed in him. ^4cI ¹must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is ^dday; the night is coming when no one can work. ⁵As long as I am in the world, ^eI am the light of the world.”

⁶When He had said these things, ^fHe spat on the ground and made clay with the saliva; and He anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay. ⁷And He said to him, “Go, wash ^gin the pool of Siloam” (which is translated, Sent). So ^hhe went and washed, and came back seeing.

⁸Therefore the neighbors and those who previously had seen that he was ²blind said, “Is not this he who sat and begged?”

⁹Some said, “This is he.” Others said, ³“He is like him.”

He said, “I am he.”

¹⁰Therefore they said to him, “How were your eyes opened?”

¹¹He answered and said, ⁱ“A Man called Jesus made clay and anointed my eyes and said to me, ‘Go to ⁴the pool of Siloam and wash.’ So I went and washed, and I received sight.”

¹²Then they said to him, “Where is He?”

He said, “I do not know.”
