When He had saidthis, He 1spat on the ground, and madeclay of the spittle, and applied the clay to his eyes,
7
and said to him, "Go, wash in 2the pool of Siloam " (which is translated, Sent ). So he wentaway and 3washed, and 4came back seeing.
8
Therefore the neighbors, and those who previouslysaw him as a beggar, were saying, "Is not this the one who used to 5sit 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 6Siloam and wash '; so I wentaway and washed, and I receivedsight."
12
They said to him, "Where is He?" He said, "I do not know."
Controversy over the Man
13 They brought to the Pharisees the man who was formerlyblind.
14
7Now it was a Sabbath on the daywhenJesusmade the clay and opened his eyes.
15
8Then the Phariseesalso were asking him againhow he received his sight. And he said to them, "He appliedclay to my eyes, and I washed, and I see."
16
Thereforesome of the Pharisees were saying, "Thisman is not from God, because He 9does not keep the Sabbath." But others were saying, "Howcan a man who is a sinnerperformsuch10signs?" And 11there was a divisionamong them.
