AUV(i)
1 As Jesus was walking along He saw a man [who had been] blind from birth.
2 His disciples asked Him, “Rabbi, did this man sin or was it his parents’ [sin] that caused him to be born blind?”
3 Jesus answered, “[It was] neither his sin nor his parents’ [sin], but [it happened] so that the deeds of God could be seen in his life.
4 While it is still daytime we must perform the acts of God, who sent me. Nighttime is coming, when no one can act.
5 While I am in the world I am the light of the world.”
6 After He had said this, He spat on the ground and made mud with the saliva. Then He put the mud on the man’s eyes
7 and said to him, “[Now] go and wash in the pool of Siloam (which means “sent”). So, the man left and washed [in the pool], and [when he] returned, [he was] able to see.
8 Then the neighbors, who had seen the man begging previously, said, “Is not this the man who [used to] sit there and beg?”
9 Other people said, “[Yes], that is him,” while [still] others said, “No, [it is not]; he [just] looks like him.” The man said, “I am the one, [all right].”
10 So, they said to him, “How was your sight restored, then?”
11 He answered, “That man called Jesus made some mud and put it on my eyes; then He said to me, ‘Go to Siloam and wash [yourself].’ So, I went and washed and my sight was [miraculously] restored.”
12 Then the people said to the man, “Where is he?” “I do not know,” he replied.
