As Jesus passed by, He saw a man who had been blind from birth.

And His disciples asked Him, "^(C1)Rabbi, who sinned, ^(C2)this man or his ^(C3)parents, that he would be born blind?"

Jesus answered, "It was neither that this man sinned, nor his parents; but it was ^(C1)so that the works of God might be displayed in him.

"We must carry out the works of Him who sent Me ^(C1)as long as it is day; night is coming, when no one can work.

"While I am in the world, I am ^(C1)the Light of the world."

When He had said this, He ^(C1)spit on the ground, and made mud from the saliva, and applied the mud to his eyes,

and said to him, "Go, wash in ^(C1)the pool of Siloam" (which is translated, Sent). So he left and ^(C2)washed, and ^(C3)came back seeing.

So the neighbors, and those who previously saw ^(F1)him as a beggar, were saying, "Is this not the one who used to ^(C1)sit and beg?"

Others were saying, "This is he," still others were saying, "No, but he is like him." ^(F1)The man himself kept saying, "I am the one."

So they were saying to him, "How then were your eyes opened?"

He answered, "The Man who is called Jesus made mud, and spread it on my eyes, and said to me, 'Go to ^(C1)Siloam and wash'; so I went away and washed, and I received sight."
