When He had saidthis, He 2spat on the ground, and madeclay of the spittle, and applied the clay to his eyes,
7
and said to him, "Go, wash in 3the pool of Siloam " (which is translated, Sent ). So he wentaway and 4washed, and 5came back seeing.
8
Therefore the neighbors, and those who previouslysaw him as a beggar, were saying, "Is not this the one who used to 6sit and beg?"
9
Others were saying, "This is he," still others were saying, "No, but he is like him." He kept saying, "I am the one."
10
So they were saying to him, "Howthen were your eyesopened?"
11
He answered, "The man who is calledJesusmadeclay, and anointed my eyes, and said to me, 'Go to 7Siloam and wash '; so I wentaway and washed, and I receivedsight."
12
They said to him, "Where is He?" He said, "I do not know."
