1 As Jesus passed along, he saw a man who had been born blind.

2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Rabbi, who sinned: this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?

3 Jesus answered, Neither this man nor his parents sinned. It was only that the works of God might be displayed upon him.

4 I must do the work of him who sent me, while it is day; the night comes, when no man can work.

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

6 Having said this, he spit upon the ground, and with the clay, which he made with the spittle, anointed the blind man's eyes,

7 and said to him, Go wash in the pool of Siloam, (which signifies Sent.) He went, therefore, and washed them, and returned seeing.
