John 9:1-6 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

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

2. And his disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he would be born blind?"

3. Jesus responded: "Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but it was so that the works of God would be made manifest in him.

4. I must work the works of him who sent me, while it is day: the night is coming, when no one is able to work.

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

6. When he had said these things, he spat on the ground, and he made clay from the spittle, and he smeared the clay over his eyes.
