    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.”

    13The 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.)

    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.”
