New Living Translation (NLT)

John 9
⁵ But while I am here in the world, I am the light of the world.”
⁶ Then he spit on the ground, made mud with the saliva, and spread the mud over the blind man’s eyes.
⁷ He told him, “Go wash yourself in the pool of Siloam” (Siloam means “sent”). So the man went and washed and came back seeing!
⁸ His neighbors and others who knew him as a blind beggar asked each other, “Isn’t this the man who used to sit and beg?”
⁹ Some said he was, and others said, “No, he just looks like him!” But the beggar kept saying, “Yes, I am the same one!”
¹⁰ They asked, “Who healed you? What happened?”
¹¹ He told them, “The man they call Jesus made mud and spread it over my eyes and told me, ‘Go to the pool of Siloam and wash yourself.’ So I went and washed, and now I can see!”
¹² “Where is he now?” they asked. “I don’t know,” he replied.
¹³ Then they took the man who had been blind to the Pharisees,
¹⁴ because it was on the Sabbath that Jesus had made the mud and healed him.
¹⁵ The Pharisees asked the man all about it. So he told them, “He put the mud over my eyes, and when I washed it away, I could see!”
