He went his way therefore, and washed, and came back seeing. 8 The neighbors therefore, and those who previously had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged? 9 Some said, This is he: others said, He is like him: but he said, I am he. 10 Therefore they said to him, How were your eyes opened? 11 He answered and said, A man called Jesus made clay, and anointed my eyes, and said to me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight. 12 Then they said to him, Where is he? He said, I do not know.
