John 9:2-4
1599 Geneva Bible
2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?
3 Jesus answered, [a]Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents, but that the works of God should be showed on him.
4 [b]I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is [c]day: the night cometh when no man can work.

- John 9:3 Christ reasoneth here, as his disciples thought, which presuppose that there come no diseases but for sins only: whereupon he answereth that there was another cause of this man’s blindness, and that was, that God’s his work might be seen.
- John 9:4 The works of Christ are as it were a light, which lighten the darkness of the world.
- John 9:4 By (day) is meant the light, that is, the lightsome, doctrine of the heavenly truth: and by (night) is meant the darkness which cometh by the obscurity of the same doctrine.
