2 Jesus' disciples asked, “Teacher, why was this man born blind? Was it because he or his parents sinned?”
3 “No, it wasn't!” Jesus answered. “But because of his blindness, you will see God perform a miracle for him.
4 As long as it is day, we must do what the one who sent me wants me to do. When night comes, no one can work.
5 While I am in the world, I am the light for the world.”
6 After Jesus said this, he spat on the ground. He made some mud and smeared it on the man's eyes.
7 Then he said, “Go and wash off the mud in Siloam Pool.” The man went and washed in Siloam, which means “One who is sent”. When he had washed off the mud, he could see.
8 The man's neighbours and the people who had seen him begging wondered if he really could be the same man.
