    6After saying this, He spit on the ground, made some mud with the saliva, and spread it on the man's eyes.

    7He said to him, 'Go, wash in the Pool of Siloam' (which means 'Sent'). So the man went and washed, and he came back able to see.

    8His neighbors and those who had previously seen him begging asked, 'Isn’t this the man who used to sit and beg?'

    9Some said, 'This is he.' Others said, 'No, he just looks like him.' But he kept saying, 'I am the one.'

    10They asked him, 'Then how were your eyes opened?

    11The man replied, 'The man called Jesus made mud, spread it on my eyes, and told me, ‘Go to Siloam and wash.’ So I went and washed, and then I could see.'

    12They asked him, 'Where is He?' He answered, 'I don’t know.'

    13They brought the man who had been blind to the Pharisees.

    14Now it was a Sabbath day when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes.

    15So the Pharisees also asked him again how he had received his sight. He replied, 'He put mud on my eyes, and I washed, and now I see.'

    16Some of the Pharisees said, 'This man is not from God, because He does not keep the Sabbath.' But others said, 'How can a sinful man perform such signs?' So there was division among them.

    17Again they asked the blind man, 'What do you say about Him, since He opened your eyes?' He replied, 'He is a prophet.'

    18The Jews refused to believe that the man had been blind and had received his sight until they summoned the man’s parents.

    19They asked them, 'Is this your son, the one you say was born blind? How then does he now see?'

    20His parents replied, 'We know he is our son and that he was born blind.'

    21'But how he can now see or who opened his eyes, we do not know. Ask him. He is of age; he will speak for himself.'

    22His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews, for the Jewish leaders had already decided that anyone who confessed Jesus as the Christ would be put out of the synagogue.

    23That was why his parents said, 'He is of age; ask him.'

    24A second time, they called for the man who had been blind and told him, 'Give glory to God! We know this man is a sinner.'

    25He answered, 'Whether He is a sinner, I do not know. One thing I do know: I was blind, but now I see!'

    26Then they asked him, 'What did He do to you? How did He open your eyes?'
