John, 9
1.As he went along, he saw a man who had been blind from birth. 2.His disciples asked him, ‘Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he should have been born blind?’ 3.’Neither he nor his parents sinned,’ Jesus answered, ‘he was born blind so that the works of God might be revealed in him. 4.’As long as day lasts we must carry out the work of the one who sent me; the night will soon be here when no one can work. 5.As long as I am in the world I am the light of the world.’ 6.Having said this, he spat on the ground, made a paste with the spittle, put this over the eyes of the blind man, 7.and said to him, ‘Go and wash in the Pool of Siloam’ (the name means ‘one who has been sent’). So he went off and washed and came back able to see. 8.His neighbours and the people who used to see him before (for he was a beggar) said, ‘Isn’t this the man who used to sit and beg?’ 9.Some said, ‘Yes, it is the same one.’ Others said, ‘No, but he looks just like him.’ The man himself said, ‘Yes, I am the one.’ 10.So they said to him, ‘Then how is it that your eyes were opened?’ 11.He answered, ‘The man called Jesus made a paste, daubed my eyes with it and said to me, “Go off and wash at Siloam”; so I went, and when I washed I gained my sight.’ 12.They asked, ‘Where is he?’ He answered, ‘I don’t know.’ 13.They brought to the Pharisees the man who had been blind. 14.It had been a Sabbath day when Jesus made the paste and opened the man’s eyes, 15.so when the Pharisees asked him how he had gained his sight, he said, ‘He put a paste on my eyes, and I washed, and I can see.'”
