b'JOHN 9:1-7,13-17,24-25,32-39As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. 2 His disciples asked him, \\u201cRabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?\\u201d 3 \\u201cNeither this man nor his parents sinned,\\u201d said Jesus, \\u201cbut this happened so that the work of God might be displayed in his life. 4 As long as it is day, we must do the work of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work. 5 While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.\\u201d 6 Having said this, he spit on the ground, made some mud with the saliva, and put it on the man\\u2019s eyes. 7 \\u201cGo,\\u201d he told him, \\u201cwash in the Pool of Siloam\\u201d (this word means Sent). So the man went and washed, and came home seeing. 13 They brought to the Pharisees the man who had been blind. 14 Now the day on which Jesus had made the mud and opened the man\\u2019s eyes was a Sabbath. 15 Therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. \\u201cHe put mud on my eyes,\\u201d the man replied, \\u201cand I washed, and now I see.\\u201d 16 Some of the Pharisees said, \\u201cThis man is not from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath.\\u201d But others asked, \\u201cHow can a sinner do such miraculous signs?\\u201d So they were divided. 17 Finally they turned again to the blind man, \\u201cWhat have you to say about him? It was your eyes he opened.\\u201d The man replied, \\u201cHe is a prophet.\\u201d 24 A second time they summoned the man who had been blind. \\u201cGive glory to God,\\u201d they said. \\u201cWe know this man is a sinner.\\u201d 25 He replied, \\u201cWhether he is a sinner or not, I don\\u2019t know. One thing I do know. I was blind but now I see!\\u201d 32 Nobody has ever heard of opening the eyes of a man born blind. 33 If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.\\u201d 34 To this they replied, \\u201cYou were steeped in sin at birth; how dare you lecture us!\\u201d And they threw him out. 35 Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and when he found him, he said, \\u201cDo you believe in the Son of Man?\\u201d 36 \\u201cWho is he, sir?\\u201d the man asked. \\u201cTell me so that I may believe in him.\\u201d 37 Jesus said, \\u201cYou have now seen him; in fact, he is the one speaking with you.\\u201d 38 Then the man said, \\u201cLord, I believe,\\u201d and he worshiped him. 39 Jesus said, \\u201cFor judgment I have come into this world, so that the blind will see and those who see will become blind.\\u201d'
