John 9:1–12

¹And passing by, he saw a man blind from birth, ²and his disciples asked him, saying, ‘Rabbi, who did sin, this one or his parents, that he should be born blind?’ ³Jesus answered, ‘Neither did this one sin nor his parents, but that the works of God may be manifested in him; ⁴it behoveth me to be working the works of Him who sent me while it is day; night doth come, when no one is able to work:— ⁵when I am in the world, I am a light of the world.’ ⁶These things saying, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and rubbed the clay on the eyes of the blind man, and said to him, ⁷‘Go away, wash at the pool of Siloam,’ which is, interpreted, Sent. He went away, therefore, and did wash, and came seeing.

⁸The neighbours, therefore, and those seeing him before, that he was blind, said, ‘Is not this he who is sitting and begging?’ ⁹others said—‘This is he;’ and others—‘He is like to him;’ he himself said,—‘I am he.’ ¹⁰They said, therefore, to him, ‘How were thine eyes opened?’ ¹¹he answered and said, ‘A man called Jesus made clay, and rubbed my eyes, and said to me, Go away to the pool of Siloam, and wash; and having gone away and having washed, I received sight;’ ¹²they said, therefore, to him, ‘Where is that one?’ he saith, ‘I have not known.’
