He was born blind so that the works of God might be revealed in him. 4 ‘As long as day lasts we must carry out the work of the one who sent me. Night is coming when no one can work. 5 As long as I am in the world I am the light of the world.’ 6 Having said this, he spat on the ground, made a paste with the saliva, spread it on the man’s eyes, 7 and said to him, ‘Go and wash in the Pool of Siloam’ (which means ‘Sent’).b So he went off and washed and came back able to see. 8 His neighbours and people who had earlier seen that he was a beggar said, ‘Is not this the man who used to sit and beg?’ 9 Some said, ‘It is.’ Others said, ‘No, but he is like the man.’ The man himself said, ‘Yes, I am the one.’ 10 So they said to him, ‘Then how were your eyes opened?’ 11 He answered, ‘The man called Jesus made a paste, spread it on my eyes and said to me, “Go off and wash at Siloam.” So I went and washed and could see.’ 12 They said to him, ‘Where is he?’ He answered, ‘I do not know.’ 13 They brought to the Pharisees the man who had been blind. 14 It had been a Sabbath when Jesus made the paste and opened the man’s eyes, 15 so the Pharisees asked him again how he had come to see. He said to them, ‘He put a paste on my eyes, and I washed, and I can see.’ 16 Then some of the Pharisees said, ‘That man is not from God: he does not keep the Sabbath.’ Others said, ‘How can a sinner produce such signs?’ And there was division among them. 17 So they said to the blind man again, ‘What have you to say about him – as it was your eyes he opened?’ The man answered, ‘He is a prophet.’ 18 However, the Jews would not believe that the man had been blind and had come to see till they had sent for the parents of the man who had come to see and 19 asked them, ‘Is this man your son whom you say was born blind? If so, how can he now see?’ 20 His parents answered, ‘We know that he is our son and that he was born blind, 21 but how he can see, we do not know, nor who opened his eyes. Ask him. He is of age: he will speak for himself.’ 22 His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews, for the Jews had already agreed that anyone who acknowledged Jesus as the Messiah should be banned from the synagogue. 23 This was why his parents said, ‘He is of age: ask him.’ 24 So the Jews sent a second time for the man who had been blind and said to him, ‘Give glory to God! We know that this man is a sinner.’ 25 He answered, ‘Whether he is a sinner I don’t know; one thing I do know is that though I was blind I can now see.’ 26 They said to him, ‘What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?’ 27 He replied, ‘I have told you already and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you want to become his disciples yourselves?’ 28 At this they hurled abuse at him, ‘You are his disciple, we are disciples of Moses. 29 We know that God has spoken to Moses, but as for this man, we do not know where he comes from.’ 30 The man replied, ‘The amazing thing is this: that you do not know where he comes from and he has opened my eyes! 31 We know that God does not listen to sinners, but God does listen to someone who reveres God and does his will. 32 Ever since the world began it is unheard of that anyone should open the eyes of someone born blind; 33 if this man were not from God, he would not have been able to do anything.’ 34 They answered and said to him, ‘You were born wholly in sin, and are you teaching us?’ And they drove him out...
