Blind Man Healed

John 9:1-41

Passage · John 9:1-41

9:1As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth.

9:2His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”

9:3Jesus answered, “This man didn’t sin, nor did his parents, but that the works of God might be revealed in him.

9:4I must work the works of him who sent me while it is day. The night is coming, when no one can work.

9:5While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”

9:6When he had said this, he spat on the ground, made mud with the saliva, anointed the blind man’s eyes with the mud,

9:7and said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which means “Sent”). So he went away, washed, and came back seeing.

9:8Therefore the neighbors and those who saw that he was blind before said, “Isn’t this he who sat and begged?”

9:9Others were saying, “It is he.” Still others were saying, “He looks like him.” He said, “I am he.”

9:10They therefore were asking him, “How were your eyes opened?”

9:11He answered, “A man called Jesus made mud, anointed my eyes, and said to me, ‘Go to the pool of Siloam and wash.’ So I went away and washed, and I received sight.”

9:12Then they asked him, “Where is he?” He said, “I don’t know.”
