John 9:1-12

9 As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. ²His disciples asked him, ‘Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?’

³‘Neither this man nor his parents sinned,’ said Jesus, ‘but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him. ⁴As long as it is day, we must do the works of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work. ⁵While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.’

⁶After saying this, he spat on the ground, made some mud with the saliva, and put it on the man’s eyes. ⁷‘Go,’ he told him, ‘wash in the Pool of Siloam’(this word means ‘Sent’). So the man went and washed, and came home seeing.

⁸His neighbours and those who had formerly seen him begging asked, ‘Isn’t this the same man who used to sit and beg?’ ⁹Some claimed that he was.

Others said, ‘No, he only looks like him.’

But he himself insisted, ‘I am the man.’

¹⁰‘How then were your eyes opened?’ they asked.

¹¹He replied, ‘The man they call Jesus made some mud and put it on my eyes. He told me to go to Siloam and wash. So I went and washed, and then I could see.’

¹²‘Where is this man?’ they asked him.

‘I don’t know,’ he said.
