John 9:1-5

J.B. Phillips New Testament

Jesus and blindness, physical and spiritual

9 Later, as Jesus walked along he saw a man who had been blind from birth.

² “Master, whose sin caused this man’s blindness,” asked the disciples, “his own or his parents’?”

^3-5 “He was not born blind because of his own sin or that of his parents,” returned Jesus, “but to show the power of God at work in him. We must carry on the work of him who sent me while the daylight lasts. Night is coming, when no one can work. I am the world’s light as long as I am in it.”
