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.”
16 Then 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.
17 So 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.
18 Now 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.
19 They asked the parents,“Is this your son, whom you say was born blind? Then how does he now see?”
20 So his parents replied,“We know that this is our son and that he was born blind.
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.”)
24 Then 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.”
25 He replied,“I do not know whether he is a sinner. I do know one thing– that although I was blind, now I can see.”
26 Then they said to him,“What did he do to you? How did he cause you to see?”
27 He answered,“I told you already and you didn’t listen. Why do you want to hear it again? You people don’t want to become his disciples too, do you?”
28 They heaped insults on him, saying,“You are his disciple! We are disciples of Moses!
29 We know that God has spoken to Moses! We do not know where this man comes from!”
30 The man replied,“This is a remarkable thing, that you don’t know where he comes from, and yet he caused me to see!
