John 9: 1-7

           As Jesus was walking along, he saw a man who had been born blind.  His disciples asked him, “Teacher whose sin caused him to be born blind?  Was it his own or his parents’ sin?”

            Jesus answered, “His blindness has nothing to do with his sins or his parents’ sins.  He is blind so that God’s power might be seen at work in him.  As long as it is day, we must do the work of him who sent me; night is coming when no one can work.  While I am in the world, I am the light for the world.”

            After he said this, Jesus spat on the ground and made some mud with the spittle; he rubbed the mud on the man’s eyes and told him, “Go and wash your face in the Pool of Siloam.” (This name means “Sent.”)

           So the man went, washed his face, and came back seeing.
