³² Then ^(A)they brought to Him one who was deaf and had an impediment in his speech, and they begged Him to put His hand on him. ³³ And He took him aside from the multitude, and put His fingers in his ears, and ^(B)He spat and touched his tongue. ³⁴ Then, ^(C)looking up to heaven, ^(D)He sighed, and said to him, “Ephphatha,” that is, “Be opened.”

^35 (E)Immediately his ears were opened, and the ^[a]impediment of his tongue was loosed, and he spoke plainly.

⁴⁵ For even ^(A)the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and ^(B)to give His life a ransom for many.”

Healing on the Sabbath^(A)

^6 (B)Now it happened on another Sabbath, also, that He entered the synagogue and taught. And a man was there whose right hand was withered. ⁷ So the scribes and Pharisees watched Him closely, whether He would ^(C)heal on the Sabbath, that they might find an ^(D)accusation against Him. ⁸ But He ^(E)knew their thoughts, and said to the man who had the withered hand, “Arise and stand here.” And he arose and stood. ⁹ Then Jesus said to them, “I will ask you one thing: ^(F)Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save life or ^[a]to destroy?” ¹⁰ And when He had looked around at them all, He said to ^[b]the man, “Stretch out your hand.” And he did so, and his hand was restored ^[c]as whole as the other.

A Man Born Blind Receives Sight

9 Now as Jesus passed by, He saw a man who was blind from birth. ² And His disciples asked Him, saying, “Rabbi, ^(A)who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”

³ Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, ^(B)but that the works of God should be revealed in him. ^4 (C)I^[a] must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is ^(D)day; the night is coming when no one can work. ⁵ As long as I am in the world, ^(E)I am the light of the world.”

⁶ When He had said these things, ^(F)He spat on the ground and made clay with the saliva; and He anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay. ⁷ And He said to him, “Go, wash ^(G)in the pool of Siloam” (which is translated, Sent). So ^(H)he went and washed, and came back seeing.
