2 His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who committed the sin that caused him to be born blind, this man or his parents?”
3 Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but he was born blind so that the acts of God may be revealed through what happens to him.
4 We must perform the deeds of the one who sent me as long as it is daytime. Night is coming when no one can work.
5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”
6 Having said this, he spat on the ground and made some mud with the saliva. He smeared the mud on the blind man’s eyes
7 and said to him, “Go wash in the pool of Siloam” (which is translated “sent”). So the blind man went away and washed, and came back seeing.
8 Then the neighbors and the people who had seen him previously as a beggar began saying, “Is this not the man who used to sit and beg?”
