John 9:4

² and His disciples asked Him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”

³ Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but this happened so that the works of God would be displayed in him.

While it is daytime, 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 When Jesus had said this, He spit on the ground, made some mud, and applied it to the man’s eyes.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
