John 9:1-9

1As He passedG3855 by, He sawG3708 a manG444 blindG5185 from birthG1079.

2And His disciplesG3101 askedG2065 Him, “1RabbiG4461, whoG5101 sinnedG264, 2thisG3778 manG3778 orG2228 his 3parentsG1118, that he would be bornG1080 blindG5185?”

3JesusG2424 answeredG611, “It was neitherG3777 that thisG3778 manG3778 sinnedG264, norG3777 his parentsG1118; but it was soG2443 4that the worksG2041 of GodG2316 might be displayedG5319 in him.

4We mustG1163 workG2038 the worksG2041 of Him who sentG3992 Me 5as longG2193 as it is dayG2250; nightG3571 is comingG2064 whenG3753 noG3762 oneG3762 canG1410 workG2038.

5WhileG3752 I amG1510 in the worldG2889, I amG1510 6the LightG5457 of the worldG2889.”

6When He had saidG3004 thisG3778, He 7spatG4429 on the groundG5476, and madeG4160 clayG4081 of the spittleG4427, and appliedG2007 the clayG4081 to his eyesG3788,

7and saidG3004 to him, “GoG5217, washG3538 in 8the poolG2861 of SiloamG4611” (whichG3739 is translatedG2059, SentG649). SoG3767 he wentG565 awayG565 and 9washedG3538, and 10cameG2064 back seeingG991.

8ThereforeG3767 the neighborsG1069, and thoseG3588 who previouslyG4387 sawG2334 him as a beggarG4319, were sayingG3004, “Is not thisG3778 the one who used to 11sitG2521 and begG4319?”

9OthersG243 were sayingG3004, “ThisG3778 is he,” still othersG243 were sayingG3004, “NoG3780, but he is likeG3664 him.” 12He kept sayingG3004, “I amG1510 the one.”
