    19and asked them, "Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then does he now see?"

    20His parents answered them, "We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;

    21but how he now sees, we don't know; or who opened his eyes, we don't know. He is of age. Ask him. He will speak for himself."

    22His parents said these things because they feared the Jews; for the Jews had already agreed that if any man would confess him as Christ, he would be put out of the synagogue.

    23Therefore his parents said, "He is of age. Ask him."

    24So they called the man who was blind a second time, and said to him, "Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner."

    25He therefore answered, "I don't know if he is a sinner. One thing I do know: that though I was blind, now I see."

    26They said to him again, "What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?"

    6When he had said this, he spat on the ground, made mud with the saliva, anointed the blind man's eyes with the mud,

    7and said to him, "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam" (which means "Sent"). So he went away, washed, and came back seeing.

    8The neighbors therefore, and those who saw that he was blind before, said, "Isn't this he who sat and begged?"

    9Others were saying, "It is he." Still others were saying, "He looks like him." He said, "I am he."

    10They therefore were asking him, "How were your eyes opened?"

    11He answered, "A man called Jesus made mud, anointed my eyes, and said to me, 'Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash.' So I went away and washed, and I received sight."

    12Then they asked him, "Where is he?" He said, "I don't know."

    13They brought him who had been blind to the Pharisees.

    14It was a Sabbath when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes.

    15Again therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he received his sight. He said to them, "He put mud on my eyes, I washed, and I see."

    16Some therefore of the Pharisees said, "This man is not from God, because he doesn't keep the Sabbath." Others said, "How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?" There was division among them.

    17Therefore they asked the blind man again, "What do you say about him, because he opened your eyes?" He said, "He is a prophet."
