John 9:5 - Forerunner Commentary

John 9:5

3 Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, ^abut that the works of God should be revealed in him.

4 ^aI must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is ^bday; the night is coming when no one can work.

5 As long as I am in the world, ^aI am the light of the world.”

6 When He had said these things, ^aHe spat on the ground and made clay with the saliva; and He anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay.

7 And He said to him, “Go, wash ^ain the pool of Siloam” (which is translated, Sent). So ^bhe went and washed, and came back seeing.

8 Therefore the neighbors and those who previously had seen that he was¹ blind said, “Is not this he who sat and begged?”

9 Some said, “This is he.” Others said,¹ “He is like him.” He said, “I am he.”
