. When I am
in the world, I am the Light of the world. When He had thus spoken,
He spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and anointed
his eyes with the clay, and said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of
Siloam (which is by interpretation, Sent). He went away, therefore,
and washed, and came seeing. The neighbours therefore, and they
which saw him aforetime, that he was a beggar, said, Is not this he
that sat and begged? Others said, It is he: others said, No, but he
is like him. He said, I am he. They said therefore unto him, How
then were thine eyes opened? He answered, The man that is called
Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to
Siloam, and wash: so I went away and washed, and I received sight.
And they said unto him, Where is He? He saith, I know not. They

our son, and that he was born blind: but how he now seeth, we know
not; or who opened his eyes, we know not: ask him; he is of age; he
shall speak for himself. These things said his parents, because they
feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man
should confess Him to be Christ, he should be put out of the
synagogue. Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him. So
they called a second time the man that was blind, and said unto
him, Give glory to God: we know that this man is a sinner. He
therefore answered, Whether He be a sinner, I know not: one thing I
