The Gospel of John Chapter 9  (Audio Bible - NIV) 1 As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. 2 His disciples asked  him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born  blind?”  3 “Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” said Jesus, “but this  happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him. 4 As long  as it is day, we must do the works of him who sent me. Night is coming,  when no one can work. 5 While I am in the world, I am the light of the  world.”  6 After saying this, he spit on the ground, made some mud with the  saliva, and put it on the man’s eyes. 7 “Go,” he told him, “wash in the  Pool of Siloam” (this word means “Sent”). So the man went and washed,  and came home seeing.  8 His neighbors and those who had formerly seen him begging asked,  “Isn’t this the same man who used to sit and beg?” 9 Some claimed that  he was.  Others said, “No, he only looks like him.”  But he himself insisted, “I am the man.”  10 “How then were your eyes opened?” they asked.  11 He replied, “The man they call Jesus made some mud and put it on my  eyes. He told me to go to Siloam and wash. So I went and washed, and  then I could see.”  12 “Where is this man?” they asked him.  “I don’t know,” he said.  13 They brought to the Pharisees the man who had been blind. 14 Now the  day on which Jesus had made the mud and opened the man’s eyes was a  Sabbath. 15 Therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he had received  his sight. “He put mud on my eyes,” the man replied, “and I washed, and  now I see.”  16 Some of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, for he does  not keep the Sabbath.”  But others asked, “How can a sinner perform such signs?” So they were  divided.  17 Then they turned again to the blind man, “What have you to say about  him? It was your eyes he opened.”  The man replied, “He is a prophet.”  18 They still did not believe that he had been blind and had received  his sight until they sent for the man’s parents. 19 “Is this your son?”  they asked. “Is this the one you say was born blind? How is it that now  he can see?”  20 “We know he is our son,” the parents answered, “and we know he was  born blind. 21 But how he can see now, or who opened his eyes, we don’t  know. Ask him. He is of age; he will speak for himself.” 22 His parents  said this because they were afraid of the Jewish leaders, who already  had decided that anyone who acknowledged that Jesus was the Messiah  would be put out of the synagogue. 23 That was why his parents said, “He  is of age; ask him.”  24 A second time they summoned the man who had been blind. “Give glory  to God by telling the truth,” they said. “We know this man is a sinner.”  25 He replied, “Whether he is a sinner or not, I don’t know. One thing I  do know. I was blind but now I see!”  26 Then they asked him, “What did he do to you? How did he open your  eyes?”  27 He answered, “I have told you already and you did not listen. Why do  you want to hear it again? Do you want to become his disciples too?”  28 Then they hurled insults at him and said, “You are this fellow’s  disciple! We are disciples of Moses! 29 We know that God spoke to Moses,  but as for this fellow, we don’t even know where he comes from.”  30 The man answered, “Now that is remarkable! You don’t know where he  comes from, yet he opened my eyes.   Refer to the Bible for verses John 9:31-41               No copyright music by: Serjo De Lua https://soundcloud.com/keysofmoon --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thedayofthelordisnear/message
