What then do you say?” 6 (Now they were asking this in an attempt to trap him, so that they could bring charges against him.)

14(Now the day on which Jesus made the mud and caused him to see was a Sabbath.)
15So the Pharisees asked him again how he had gained his sight. He replied,“He put mud on my eyes and I washed, and now I am able to see.”
16Then some of the Pharisees began to say,“This man is not from God, because he does not observe the Sabbath.” But others said,“How can a man who is a sinner perform such miraculous signs?” Thus there was a division among them.
17So again they asked the man who used to be blind,“What do you say about him, since he caused you to see?”“He is a prophet,” the man replied.
18Now the Jewish religious leaders refused to believe that he had really been blind and had gained his sight until at last they summoned the parents of the man who had become able to see.
19They asked the parents,“Is this your son, whom you say was born blind? Then how does he now see?”
20So his parents replied,“We know that this is our son and that he was born blind.
21But we do not know how he is now able to see, nor do we know who caused him to see. Ask him, he is a mature adult. He will speak for himself.”
22(His parents said these things because they were afraid of the Jewish religious leaders. For the Jewish leaders had already agreed that anyone who confessed Jesus to be the Christ would be put out of the synagogue.
23For this reason his parents said,“He is a mature adult, ask him.”)
24Then they summoned the man who used to be blind a second time and said to him,“Promise before God to tell the truth. We know that this man is a sinner.”
25He replied,“I do not know whether he is a sinner. I do know one thing– that although I was blind, now I can see.”
26Then they said to him,“What did he do to you? How did he cause you to see?”

6Having said this, he spat on the ground and made some mud with the saliva. He smeared the mud on the blind man’s eyes
7and said to him,“Go wash in the pool of Siloam”(which is translated“sent”). So the blind man went away and washed, and came back seeing.
8Then the neighbors and the people who had seen him previously as a beggar began saying,“Is this not the man who used to sit and beg?”
9Some people said,“This is the man!” while others said,“No, but he looks like him.” The man himself kept insisting,“I am the one!”
10So they asked him,“How then were you made to see?”
11He replied,“The man called Jesus made mud, smeared it on my eyes and told me,‘Go to Siloam and wash.’ So I went and washed, and was able to see.”
12They said to him,“Where is that man?” He replied,“I don’t know.”
