John 9:3-10

³“Neither the man nor the parents,” replied Jesus; “but he was born blind so that the work of God should be made plain in him.

⁴We must do the work of him who sent me, while it is day; night is coming, when no one can work.

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

⁶Saying this, Jesus spat on the ground, made clay with the saliva, and put it on the man's eyes.

⁷“Go,” he said, “and wash your eyes in the Bath of Siloam” (a word which means ‘messenger’). So the man went and washed his eyes, and returned able to see.

⁸His neighbours, and those who had formerly known him by sight as a beggar, exclaimed, “Is not this the man who used to sit and beg?”

⁹“Yes,” some said, “it is”; while others said, “No, but he is like him.” The man himself said, “I am he.”

¹⁰“How did you get your sight, then?” they asked.
