John 9:3-15

3Jesus answered, “It was neither that this man sinned, nor his parents; but it was so 1that the works of God might be displayed in him. 4We must work the works of Him who sent Me 2as long as it is day; night is coming when no one can work. 5While I am in the world, I am 3the Light of the world.” 6When He had said this, He 4spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and applied the clay to his eyes, 7and said to him, “Go, wash in 5the pool of Siloam” (which is translated, Sent). So he went away and 6washed, and 7came back seeing. 8Therefore the neighbors, and those who previously saw him as a beggar, were saying, “Is not this the one who used to 8sit and beg?” 9Others were saying, “This is he,” still others were saying, “No, but he is like him.” 9He kept saying, “I am the one.” 10So they were saying to him, “How then were your eyes opened?” 11He answered, “The man who is called Jesus made clay, and anointed my eyes, and said to me, ‘Go to 10Siloam and wash’; so I went away and washed, and I received sight.” 12They said to him, “Where is He?” He said, “I do not know.”

13They brought to the Pharisees the man who was formerly blind. 1411Now it was a Sabbath on the day when Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes. 1512Then the Pharisees also were asking him again how he received his sight. And he said to them, “He applied clay to my eyes, and I washed, and I see.”
