John - ch 9 v 1 - 20
- As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth.
- His disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?"
- Jesus answered, "Neither did this man sin, nor his parents; but, that the works of God might be revealed in him.
- I must work the works of him who sent me, while it is day. The night is coming, when no one can work.
- While I am in the world, I am the light of the world."
- When he had said this, he spat on the ground, made mud with the saliva, anointed the blind man's eyes with the mud,

- Again therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he received his sight. He said to them, "He put mud on my eyes, I washed, and I see."
- Some therefore of the Pharisees said, "This man is not from God, because he doesn't keep the Sabbath." Others said, "How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?" There was division among them.
- Therefore they asked the blind man again, "What do you say about him, because he opened your eyes?" He said, "He is a prophet."
- The Jews therefore did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and had received his sight, until they called the parents of him who had received his sight,
- and asked them, "Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then does he now see?"
- His parents answered them, "We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;
