And Jesus passing, saw a man blind from the birth.

And his disciples asked him, Master, who sinned, this man, or his elders [And his disciples asked him, Rabbi, that is, Master, who sinned, this man, or his father and mother], that he should be born blind?

Jesus answered, Neither this man sinned, neither his elders [neither his father and mother]; but that the works of God be showed in him.

It behooveth me to work the works of him that sent me, as long as the day is [the while the day is]; the night shall come, when no man may work.

As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.

When he had said these things, he spat into the earth, and made clay of the spittle, and anointed the clay on his eyes,

and said to him, Go, and be thou washed in the water of Siloam, that is to say, Sent. Then he went, and washed, and came seeing. [and said to him, Go, and be thou washen in the water, or cistern, of Siloam, that is interpreted, Sent. Therefore he went, and washed, and came seeing.]

And so neighbours, and they that had seen him before, for he was a beggar, said, Whether this is not he, that sat, and begged?

Other men said, That this it is; and other men said, Nay, but he is like him. But he said, I am [he].

10 Therefore they said to him, How be thine eyes opened?

11 He answered, That man, that is said Jesus, made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said to me, Go thou to the water of Siloam, and wash [Go thou to the water, or cistern, of Siloam, and wash]; and I went, and washed, and saw.

12 And they said to him, Where is he? He said, I know not.

Christ makes the man who was born blind able to see.

And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man who was blind from his birth. And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin: this man, or his father and mother, that he was born blind? Jesus answered, Neither has this man sinned, nor yet his father and mother, but it is so that the works of God may be shown on him. I must work the works of him that sent me while it is day. The night comes, when no man can work. As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.

As soon as he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground and made clay of the spittle, and rubbed the clay on the eyes of the blind man, and said to him, Go and wash in the pool of Siloam (which, translated, means Sent). He went his way and washed, and came back seeing. The neighbours and people that had seen him before, how he was a beggar, said, Is this not the man who sat and begged? Some said, This is the man. Others said, He is like him. But he himself said, I am he.

10 They said to him, How were your eyes opened then? 11 He answered and said, The man that is called Jesus made clay and anointed my eyes, and said to me, Go to the pool Siloam and wash. And I went and washed, and received my sight.

12 They said to him, Where is he? He said, I do not know.

And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth. And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind? Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him. I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world. When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay, and said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing.

The neighbours therefore, and they which before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged? Some said, This is he: others said, He is like him: but he said, I am he. 10 Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened? 11 He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight. 12 Then said they unto him, Where is he? He said, I know not.
