We must carry out the works of Him who sent Me (A)as long as it is day; night is coming, when no one can work. While I am in the world, I am (B)the Light of the world.” When He had said this, He (C)spit on the ground, and made mud from the saliva, and applied the mud to his eyes, and said to him, “Go, wash in (D)the pool of Siloam” (which is translated, Sent). So he left and (E)washed, and (F)came back seeing. So the neighbors, and those who previously saw [a]him as a beggar, were saying, “Is this not the one who used to (G)sit and beg?” Others were saying, “This is he,” still others were saying, “No, but he is like him.” [b]The man himself kept saying, “I am the one.” 10 So they were saying to him, “How then were your eyes opened?” 11 He answered, “The man who is called Jesus made mud, and spread it on my eyes, and said to me, ‘Go to (H)Siloam and wash’; so I went away and washed, and I received sight.” 12 And they said to him, “Where is He?” He *said, “I do not know.”

As long as it is day,(A) we must do the works of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work. While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”(B)

After saying this, he spit(C) on the ground, made some mud with the saliva, and put it on the man’s eyes. “Go,” he told him, “wash in the Pool of Siloam”(D) (this word means “Sent”). So the man went and washed, and came home seeing.(E)

His neighbors and those who had formerly seen him begging asked, “Isn’t this the same man who used to sit and beg?”(F) Some claimed that he was.

Others said, “No, he only looks like him.”

But he himself insisted, “I am the man.”

10 “How then were your eyes opened?” they asked.

11 He replied, “The man they call Jesus made some mud and put it on my eyes. He told me to go to Siloam and wash. So I went and washed, and then I could see.”(G)

12 “Where is this man?” they asked him.

“I don’t know,” he said.

As long as it is day, we must do what the one who sent me wants me to do. When night comes, no one can work. (A) While I am in the world, I am the light for the world.”

After Jesus said this, he spit on the ground. He made some mud and smeared it on the man's eyes. Then he said, “Go wash off the mud in Siloam Pool.” The man went and washed in Siloam, which means “One Who Is Sent.” When he had washed off the mud, he could see.

The man's neighbors and the people who had seen him begging wondered if he really could be the same man. Some of them said he was the same beggar, while others said he only looked like him. But he told them, “I am that man.”

10 “Then how can you see?” they asked.

11 He answered, “Someone named Jesus made some mud and smeared it on my eyes. He told me to go and wash it off in Siloam Pool. When I did, I could see.”

12 “Where is he now?” they asked.

“I don't know,” he answered.
