<P> According to the Gospel of John, 9: 1--12, Jesus saw a man who had been blind since birth . His disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?" </P> <P> Jesus replied: </P> <P> Neither this man nor his parents sinned," said Jesus, "but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him . As long as it is day, we must do the works of him who sent me . Night is coming, when no one can work . While I am in the world, I am the light of the world . </P> <P> Having said this, he spat on the ground, made some mud with the saliva, and put it on the man's eyes . "Go," he told him, "wash in the Pool of Siloam" (this word means "Sent"). So the man went and washed, and came home seeing . </P>
