2 Jesus' disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned? Was this man born blind because he sinned? Or did his parents sin?"
3 "It isn't because this man sinned," said Jesus. "It isn't because his parents sinned. This happened so that God's work could be shown in his life.
4 While it is still day, we must do the work of the One who sent me. Night is coming. Then no one can work.
5 While I am in the world, I am the light of the world."
6 After he said this, he spit on the ground. He made some mud with the spit. Then he put the mud on the man's eyes.
7 "Go," he told him. "Wash in the Pool of Siloam." Siloam means Sent. So the man went and washed. And he came home able to see.
8 His neighbors and those who had earlier seen him begging asked questions. "Isn't this the same man who used to sit and beg?" they asked.
