7 and 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.
8 Then 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?”
9 Some people said,“This is the man!” while others said,“No, but he looks like him.” The man himself kept insisting,“I am the one!”
10 So they asked him,“How then were you made to see?”
11 He 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.”
12 They said to him,“Where is that man?” He replied,“I don’t know.”
13 The Pharisees’ Reaction to the Healing They brought the man who used to be blind to the Pharisees.
14 (Now the day on which Jesus made the mud and caused him to see was a Sabbath.)
15 So 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.”

21 But 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.
23 For this reason his parents said,“He is a mature adult, ask him.”)
