John 9
Bible in Basic English (BBE)
1 And when he went on his way, he saw a man blind from birth.
2 Ref And his disciples put a question to him, saying, Master, was it because of this man's sin, or the sin of his father and mother, that he has been blind from birth?
3 Ref Jesus said in answer, It was not because of his sin, or because of his father's or mother's; it was so that the works of God might be seen openly in him.
4 Ref While it is day we have to do the works of him who sent me: the night comes when no work may be done.
5 Ref As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
6 Ref Having said these words, he put earth, mixed with water from his mouth, on the man's eyes,
7 Ref And said to him, Go and make yourself clean in the bath of Siloam (the sense of the name is, Sent). So he went away and, after washing, came back able to see.
8 Ref Then the neighbours and others who had seen him before in the street, with his hand out for money, said, Is not this the man who got money from people?
