New Testament

John 9:4-17 Modern English Version (MEV)

4. I must do the works of Him who sent Me while it is day. Night is coming when no one can work.

5. While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”

6. When He had said this, He spat on the ground and made clay with the saliva. He anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay,

7. and said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which means “Sent”). So he went away and washed, and returned seeing.

8. The neighbors and those who had previously seen that he was blind said, “Is this not he who sat and begged?”

9. Some said, “This is he.”Others said, “He is like him.”But he said, “I am he.”

10. So they said to him, “How were your eyes opened?”

11. He answered, “A Man called Jesus made clay, anointed my eyes, and said to me, ‘Go to the pool of Siloam and wash.’ So I went away and washed, and I received my sight.”

12. They said to him, “Where is He?”He said, “I do not know.”

13. They brought the man who had been blind to the Pharisees.

14. Now it was a Sabbath day when Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes.

15. Therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he received his sight. He said to them, “He put clay on my eyes, and I washed, and I see.”

16. Some of the Pharisees said, “This Man is not from God, because He does not keep the Sabbath day.”Others said, “How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?” So there was division among them.

17. Then they said to the blind man again, “What do you say about Him, since He opened your eyes?”He said, “He is a prophet.”
