1. As Jesus was walking along, he saw a man who had been born blind.
2. His followers asked him, “Teacher, whose sin caused this man to be born blind—his own sin or his parents’ sin?”
3. Jesus answered, “It is not this man’s sin or his parents’ sin that made him blind. This man was born blind so that God’s power could be shown in him.
4. While it is daytime, we must continue doing the work of the One who sent me. The night is coming. And no one can work at night.
5. While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”
6. After Jesus said this, he spit on the ground and made some mud with it. He put the mud on the man’s eyes.
7. Then he told the man, “Go and wash in the Pool of Siloam.” (Siloam means Sent.) So the man went to the pool. He washed and came back. And he was able to see.
8. Some people had seen this man begging before. They and the man’s neighbors said, “Look! Is this the same man who always sits and begs?”
