John 9

American Standard-ASV1901 (ASV)

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

2 Ref And his disciples asked him, saying, Rabbi, who sinned, this man, or his parents, that he should be born blind?

3 Ref Jesus answered, Neither did this man sin, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.

4 Ref We must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.

5 Ref When I am in the world, I am the light of the world.

6 Ref When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and anointed his eyes with the clay,

7 Ref and said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam (which is by interpretation, Sent). He went away therefore, and washed, and came seeing.

8 Ref The neighbors therefore, and they that saw him aforetime, that he was a beggar, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?
