The Gospel of John

1 And as he passed, he saw a man blind from birth.

2 And his disciples asked him, 'Rabbi! Who sinned, he or his parents, that he was born blind?

3 Jesus answered, "Neither he nor his parents have sinned, but *this* *for* *that* the works of God may be manifested in him.

4 I must do the works of him who sent me, while there is a day; the night comes when no one can do.

5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.

6 And when he had said these things, he spat on the ground, and made clay out of the spittle, and anointed the eyes of the blind man with it,

7 And he said unto him, Go and wash thyself in the pool of Siloam, which is signified, He that hath been sent. He went and washed, and came seeing.

8 Then the neighbors, and those who had seen before that he was blind, said, 'Is this not the one who sat and begged?'

9 And some said, 'This is he,' and others, 'He is like him.' And he said, "It's me."

10 Then they asked him, 'How were your eyes opened?'

11 And he answered and said, 'The man called Jesus has made clay, and anointed my eyes, and said to me, 'Go to the pool of Siloam and wash yourself.' I went, washed my face, and regained my sight.

12 Then they said to him, 'Where is he?' He answered, "I don't know."

13 And they took this former blind man to the Pharisees.

14 And it was the Sabbath when Jesus made the frailty, and opened his eyes.

15 And the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. He said to them, "He has put clay in my eyes, and I have washed, and I see."

16 Then some of the Pharisees said, "This man is not of God, because he does not keep the Sabbath." Others said: how can a sinful man work such miracles? And there was strife between them.

17 Again they say to the blind man, 'What say thou of him, because he hath opened thy eyes?' He said, "He's a prophet."

18 Then the Jews did not believe that he was blind and had received his sight, until they had called the parents of this one who had received his sight

19 And they asked them, 'Is this your son, of whom you say that he was born blind?' How does he see now?

20 And his parents answered and said unto them, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;

21 but how he sees now, we do not know, or who opened his eyes, we do not know. He himself is of perfect age; ask yourself; Let him talk about himself.
