Christ Heals the Blind Man

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

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

6 When 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. 7 And He said to him, “Go, wash gin the pool of Siloam” (which is translated, Sent). So hhe went and washed, and came back seeing.

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

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

He said, “I am he.”

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

11 He 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.”

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

He said, “I do not know.”

13 They brought him who formerly was blind to the Pharisees. 14 Now it was a Sabbath when Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes. 15 Then the Pharisees also asked him again how he had received his sight. He said to them, “He put clay on my eyes, and I washed, and I see.”

16 Therefore some of the Pharisees said, “This Man is not from God, because He does not 5keep the Sabbath.”

Others said, j“How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?” And kthere was a division among them.
