John 9:1-16
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 9
1As Jesus passed by, He saw a man who had been blind from birth. 2And His disciples asked Him, 'Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he would be born blind?' 3Jesus answered, 'It was neither that this man sinned, nor his parents; but it was so that the works of God might be displayed in him. 4We must carry out the works of Him who sent Me as long as it is day; night is coming, when no one can work. 5While I am in the world, I am the Light of the world.' 6When He had said this, He spit on the ground, and made mud from the saliva, and applied the mud to his eyes, 7and said to him, 'Go, wash in the pool of Siloam' (which is translated, Sent). So he left and washed, and came back seeing. 8So the neighbors, and those who previously saw him as a beggar, were saying, 'Is this not the one who used to sit and beg?' 9Others were saying, 'This is he,' still others were saying, 'No, but he is like him.' The man himself kept saying, 'I am the one.' 10So they were saying to him, 'How then were your eyes opened?' 11He answered, 'The man who is called Jesus made mud, and spread it on my eyes, and said to me, ‘Go to Siloam and wash’; so I went away and washed, and I received sight.' 12And they said to him, 'Where is He?' He *said, 'I do not know.'
13They *brought the man who was previously blind to the Pharisees.
14Now it was a Sabbath on the day that Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes.
15Then the Pharisees also were asking him again how he received his sight. And he said to them, 'He applied mud to my eyes, and I washed, and I see.'
16Therefore some of the Pharisees were saying, 'This man is not from God, because He does not keep the Sabbath.' But others were saying, 'How can a man who is a sinner perform such signs?' And there was dissension among them.
King James Version
Chapter 9
1And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth. 2And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind? 3Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him. 4I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. 5As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world. 6When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay, 7And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing. 8The neighbours therefore, and they which before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged? 9Some said, This is he: others said, He is like him: but he said, I am he. 10Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened? 11He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight. 12Then said they unto him, Where is he? He said, I know not.
13They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind.
14And it was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.
15Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. He said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and do see.
16Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he keepeth not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them.

Chapter 9
1As he was passing by, he saw a man blind from birth. 2His disciples asked him: "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?"
3"Neither this man nor his parents sinned," Jesus answered. "This came about so that God’s works might be displayed in him.
4We must do the works of him who sent me while it is day. Night is coming when no one can work.
5As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world."
6After he said these things he spit on the ground, made some mud from the saliva, and spread the mud on his eyes.
7"Go," he told him, "wash in the pool of Siloam" (which means "Sent"). So he left, washed, and came back seeing.
New Living Translation
Chapter 9
1As Jesus was walking along, he saw a man who had been blind from birth. 2Rabbi,' his disciples asked him, 'why was this man born blind? Was it because of his own sins or his parents’ sins?'
3It was not because of his sins or his parents’ sins,' Jesus answered. 'This happened so the power of God could be seen in him.
4We must quickly carry out the tasks assigned us by the one who sent us. The night is coming, and then no one can work.
5But while I am here in the world, I am the light of the world.'
6Then he spit on the ground, made mud with the saliva, and spread the mud over the blind man’s eyes.
7He told him, 'Go wash yourself in the pool of Siloam' (Siloam means 'sent'). So the man went and washed and came back seeing!

9Some said, "It is he." Others said, "No, but he is like him." He kept saying, "I am the man."
10So they said to him, "Then how were your eyes opened?"
11He answered, "The man called Jesus made mud and anointed my eyes and said to me, ‘Go to Siloam and wash.’ So I went and washed and received my sight."
12They said to him, "Where is he?" He said, "I do not know."
13They brought to the Pharisees the man who had formerly been blind.
14Now it was a Sabbath day when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes.
15So the Pharisees again asked him how he had received his sight. And he said to them, "He put mud on my eyes, and I washed, and I see."
