And Jesus said unto him, “Go, and do thou likewise.”

IN JERUSALEM—­THE ATTEMPT TO ARREST HIM.

THE FRIENDS AT BETHANY.

Now as they went on their way, he entered into a certain village:  and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.

And she had a sister called Mary, who also sat at the Lord’s feet and heard his word.

But Martha was cumbered about much serving; and she came up to him, and said, “Lord, dost thou not care that my sister did leave me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me.”

But the Lord answered and said unto her, “Martha, Martha, thou art anxious and troubled about many things:  but one thing is needful:  for Mary hath chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.”

A MIRACLE IN JERUSALEM.

And as he passed by, he saw a man blind from his birth.  And his disciples asked him, saying, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man, or his parents, that he should be born blind?”

Jesus answered, “Neither did this man sin, nor his parents:  but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.  We must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day:  the night cometh, when no man can work.  When I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”

When he had thus spoken he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and anointed his eyes with the clay, and said unto him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which is by interpretation, Sent).

He went away therefore, and washed, and came seeing.

The neighbors therefore, and they that saw him aforetime, that he was a beggar, said, “Is not this he that sat and begged?”

Others said, “It is he:”  others said, “No, but he is like him.”

He said, “I am he.”

They said therefore unto him, “How then were thine eyes opened?”

He answered, “The man that is called Jesus made clay and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, ‘Go to Siloam, and wash:’  so I went away and washed, and I received sight.”

And they said unto him, “Where is he?”

He saith, “I know not.”

They bring to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind.  Now it was the sabbath on the day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.  Again therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he received his sight.

And he said unto them, “He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and
I see.”

Some therefore of the Pharisees said.  “This man is not from God, because he keepeth not the sabbath.”

But others said, “How can a man that is a sinner do such signs?”

And there was a division among them.

They say therefore unto the blind man again, “What sayest thou of him, in that he opened thine eyes?”

And he said, “He is a prophet.”
