John 9:1-12

New Matthew Bible

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

9 And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man who was blind from his birth. ² And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin: this man, or his father and mother, that he was born blind? ³ 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. ⁴ I must work the works of him that sent me while it is day. The night comes, when no man can work. ⁵ As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.

⁶ 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, ⁷ 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. ⁸ The neighbours and people that had seen him before, how he was a beggar, said, Is this not the man who sat and begged? ⁹ 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.
