Jesus Heals a Man Born Blind

9 As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth. ² And his disciples asked him, ^(A)“Rabbi, ^(B)who sinned, ^(C)this man or ^(D)his parents, that he was born blind?” ³ Jesus answered, “It was not that this man sinned, or his parents, but ^(E)that the works of God might be displayed in him. ⁴ We must ^(F)work the works of him who sent me ^(G)while it is day; night is coming, when no one can work. ⁵ As long as I am in the world, ^(H)I am the light of the world.” ⁶ Having said these things, ^(I)he spit on the ground and made mud with the saliva. ^(J)Then he anointed the man's eyes with the mud ⁷ and said to him, “Go, wash in ^(K)the pool of Siloam” (which means Sent). So he went and washed and ^(L)came back seeing.

⁸ The neighbors and those who had seen him before as a beggar were saying, ^(M)“Is this not the man who used to sit and beg?” ⁹ Some said, “It is he.” Others said, “No, but he is like him.” He kept saying, “I am the man.” ¹⁰ So they said to him, “Then how were your eyes opened?” ¹¹ He answered, ^(N)“The man called Jesus made mud and anointed my eyes and said to me, ‘Go to Siloam and wash.’ So I went and washed and received my sight.” ¹² They said to him, “Where is he?” He said, “I do not know.”

¹³ They brought to the Pharisees the man who had formerly been blind.

²⁸ And they reviled him, saying, “You are his disciple, but ^(A)we are disciples of Moses. ²⁹ We know that God has spoken to Moses, but as for this man, ^(B)we do not know where he comes from.” ³⁰ The man answered, “Why, this is ^(C)an amazing thing! ^(D)You do not know where he comes from, and yet he opened my eyes. ³¹ We know that ^(E)God does not listen to sinners, but ^(F)if anyone is a worshiper of God and does his will, God listens to him. ³² Never since the world began has it been heard that anyone opened the eyes of a man born blind. ^33 (G)If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.” ³⁴ They answered him, ^(H)“You were born in utter sin, and would you teach us?” And they ^(I)cast him out.

³⁵ Jesus heard that they had cast him out, and having found him he said, “Do you believe in ^(J)the Son of Man?”^{[a] 36} He answered, ^(K)“And who is he, sir, that I may believe in him?” ³⁷ Jesus said to him, “You have seen him, and ^(L)it is he who is speaking to you.” ³⁸ He said, “Lord, I believe,” and he worshiped him. ³⁹ Jesus said, ^(M)“For judgment I came into this world, ^(N)that those who do not see may see, and ^(O)those who see may become blind.” ⁴⁰ Some of the Pharisees near him heard these things, and said to him, ^(P)“Are we also blind?” ⁴¹ Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, ^(Q)you would have no guilt;^[b] but now that you say, ‘We see,’ your guilt remains.
