1 Now as he was passing along he saw a man, blind from birth.

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

3 "Neither he nor his parents sinned." replied Jesus; "it happened that the works of God might be made manifest in him.

4 "I must work the works of him that sent me while it is day; night is coming, when no man can work.

5 "While I am in the world, I am the Light of the world."

6 When he had thus spoken he spat on the ground, and made clay with the spittle, and smeared the clay on the mans eyes.

7 Then he said to him, "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam" (a word which means "sent"). So the man went and washed his eyes, and came back seeing.
