^{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.

^{6 Ref} Having said these words, he put earth, mixed with water from his mouth, on the man's eyes,
