2 And as Joshua passed by, he saw a man which was blind
from his birth and his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin,
this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?
3 Joshua answered, Neither hath
this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made
manifest in him.
4 I
must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh,
when no man can work.
5 As
long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
6 When 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,
7 And 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.
8 The neighbours therefore, and they which before had seen
him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?
9 Some said, This is he: others said, He is like him. But
he said, I am he.
10 Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes
opened?
11 He answered and said, A man that is called Joshua 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.
12 Then said they unto him, Where is he? He said, I know
not.
