John Chapter 9

John 9:1 Jesus walked on and Jesus saw a blind man. The blind man had been blind from the day that he was born.

John 9:2 The disciples asked Jesus: Master, why was this man born blind? Whose fault was it? Was it the blind man who sinned or was it his father or mother who sinned?

John 9:3 Jesus answered, “It was not any sin of this man or his parents that caused him to be blind. He was born blind so that he could be used to show what great things God can do.

John 9:4 While it is daytime, we must continue doing the work of the one who sent me. The night is coming, and no one can work at night

John 9:5 While I am with the people in the world, I am the light for the people.

John 9:6 After Jesus said this, he spit on the dirt, made some mud and put it on the man’s eyes.

John 9:7 Jesus said to him:  Go and wash your eyes in the Siloam Pool. (The name Siloam means ‘God has sent someone.) The blind man went, and he washed himself. When he came back, he could see.

John 9:8 Blind man’s neighbors and some others who had seen him blind man, Is this the same man who was a beggar?

John 9:9 Some people said:  Yes, it is he.  Other people said:  No, it is someone else who looks like the blind man.  Then the blind man said: Yes, it is I.

John 9:10 The people asked the once blind man:  What happened that you can see now?

John 9: 11 The once blind man said:  A Man whose name is Jesus made mud and Jesus put it on my eyes.  Then Jesus told me to go to the Siloam Pool and wash it off. I did what Jesus said and then I could see.

John 9: 12 They asked the once blind man: Where is that Man?  The one blind man said:  I don’t know.

John 9:13 The people took the man who had been blind to the Pharisees
