John 9:3

Verse 3 of 41. The 9th of 21 chapters in John, in The Gospels.

1As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth.

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

3Jesus answered, “This man didn’t sin, nor did his parents, but that the works of God might be revealed in him.

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

5While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”

6When he had said this, he spat on the ground, made mud with the saliva, anointed the blind man’s eyes with the mud,

7and said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which means “Sent”). So he went away, washed, and came back seeing.
