JOHN 9:3-23

³Jesus answered, Neither did this man sin, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.

⁴We must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.

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

⁶When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and anointed his eyes with the clay,

⁷and said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam (which is by interpretation, Sent). He went away therefore, and washed, and came seeing.

⁸The neighbours therefore, and they which saw him aforetime, that he was a beggar, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?

⁹Others said, It is he: others said, No, but he is like him. He said, I am he.

¹⁰They said therefore unto him, How then were thine eyes opened?

¹¹He answered, The man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to Siloam, and wash: so I went away and washed, and I received sight.

¹²And they said unto him, Where is he? He saith, I know not.

¹³They bring to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind.

¹⁴Now it was the sabbath on the day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.

¹⁵Again therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he received his sight. And he said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and do see.

¹⁶Some therefore of the Pharisees said, This man is not from God, because he keepeth not the sabbath. But others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such signs? And there was a division among them.

¹⁷They say therefore unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, in that he opened thine eyes? And he said, He is a prophet.

¹⁸The Jews therefore did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and had received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight,

¹⁹and asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then doth he now see?

²⁰His parents answered and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind:

²¹but how he now seeth, we know not; or who opened his eyes, we know not: ask him; he is of age; he shall speak for himself.

²²These things said his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man should confess him to be Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.

²³Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him.
