John 9
Reading John chapter 9 in the World English Bible, public-domain text from 2000.
Verses 1–10
1 As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth.

5 While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”

8 Therefore the neighbours and those who saw that he was blind before said, “Isn’t this he who sat and begged?”
9 Others were saying, “It is he.” Still others were saying, “He looks like him.” He said, “I am he.”
10 They therefore were asking him, “How were your eyes opened?”
