fault, this man or
his parents, that he was born blind? (3)Jesus answered, Neither hath
this man been in fault, nor his parents; but it is in order to make
manifest the works of God in him. (4)I must work the works of him that
sent me, while it is day: the night is coming, when no man can work.
(5)As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world. (6)So
speaking, he spat on the ground, and made mud with the spittle, and
anointed with the mud the eyes of the blind man; (7)and said to him,
Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which signifies, Sent.) Then he went
and washed, and came seeing.

(8)The neighbours therefore, and they who saw him formerly, that he was
blind, said, Is not this the man who was sitting and begging? (9)Some
said, That this is he: but others, That he is like him: he himself
said, I am he. (10)When said they to him, How were thine eyes opened?
(11)he answered and said, A man called Jesus made mud, and anointed my
eyes, and said to me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: then I went,
and washing received sight. (12)They said to him, Where is he? He

division among them. (17)They say to the blind man again, What sayest
thou of him? that he opened thine eyes? Then he replied, That he is a
prophet.

(18)Then the Jews did not believe that he had been blind, and received
sight, until that they had called the parents of him who had received
sight. (19)And they questioned them, saying, Is this your son, of whom
ye say, that he was born blind? how then doth he now see? (20)His
parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that
he was born blind: (21)but how he now seeth, we know not; or who hath
opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he himself will
tell you about it. (22)So spake his parents, because they were afraid
of the Jews: for the Jews had already come to a resolution, that if any
person acknowledged him Messiah, he should be excluded the synagogue.
