1 As he was walking along, he observed a man who had been blind from birth.

2 His disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that caused him to be born blind?"

3 Jesus answered,"Neither this man nor his parents sinned. This happened so thatthe works of God might be revealed in him.

4 Imust work the works of the one who sent mewhile it is day. Night is coming, when no one can work.

5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world."

6 After saying this, he spit on the ground and made mud with the saliva. Then he spread the mud on the man's eyes

7 and told him,"Go and wash in the pool of Siloam" (which is translated "Sent One"). So he went off and washed and came back seeing.
