John 9:1–12 (LEB)
1And as he went away, he saw a man blind from birth.
2And his disciples asked him, saying, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he should be born blind?”
3Jesus replied, “Neither this man sinned nor his parents, but it happened so that the works of God could be revealed in him.
4It is necessary for us to do the deeds of the one who sent me while it is day; night is coming, when no one can work!
5While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”
6When he had said these things, he spat on the ground and made clay with the saliva, and smeared the clay on his eyes.
7And he said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which is translated “sent”). So he went and washed and came back seeing.
8Then the neighbors and those who saw him previously (because he was a beggar) began to say, “Is this man not the one who used to sit and beg?”
9Others were saying, “It is this man”; others were saying, “No, but he is like him.” That one was saying, “I am he!”
10So they began to say to him, “How were your eyes opened?”
11He replied, “The man who is called Jesus made clay and smeared it on my eyes and said to me, ‘Go to Siloam and wash!’ So I went, and I washed, and I received sight.”
12And they said to him, “Where is that man?” He said, “I do not know.”
