John 9:1 · Douay-Rheims
“And Jesus passing by, saw a man, who was blind from his birth:”
On this verse:
“(Tr. xliv. 3) Was he then born without original sin, or had he never added to it by actual sin? Both this man and his parents had sinned, but that sin was not the reason why he was born blind. Our Lord gives the reason; viz. That the works of God should be made manifest in him.”
