1 And passing by, he saw a man blind from birth.

2 And asked him the disciples of him, saying: Rabbi, who sinned? this, or the parents of him, that blind he should be born?

3 Answered Jesus: Neither this sinned, nor the parents of him; but that may be manifested the works of the God in him.

4 Me it behooves to work the works of the sending me, while day it is; comes night, when no one is able to work.

5 While in the world I may be, light I am of the world.

6 These things saying, he spit on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and rubbed the clay on the eyes of the blind,

7 and said to him: Go, wash thyself in the pool of the Siloam; (which is interpreted, having been sent.) He went away therefore, and washed himself, and came seeing.
