11
His answer was: The man who is named Jesus put earth mixed with water on my eyes, and said to me, Go and make yourself clean in Siloam: so I went away and, after washing, am now able to see.
12
And they said to him, Where is he? His answer was: I have no knowledge.
13
They took him before the Pharisees--this man who had been blind.
14
Now the day on which the earth was mixed by Jesus and the man's eyes were made open was the Sabbath.
15
So the Pharisees put more questions to him about how his eyes had been made open. And he said to them, He put earth on my eyes, and I had a wash and am able to see.
16
Then some of the Pharisees said, That man has not come from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath. Others said, How is it possible for a sinner to do such signs? So there was a division among them.
17
Again they said to the blind man, What have you to say about him for opening your eyes? And he said, He is a prophet.
18
Now the Jews had no belief in the statement that he had been blind and was now able to see, till they sent for the father and mother of the man whose eyes had been made open,
19
And put the question to them, saying, Is this your son, of whom you say that he was blind at birth? how is it then that he is now able to see?
20
In answer his father and mother said, We are certain that this is our son and that he was blind at birth:
21
But how it is he is now able to see, or who made his eyes open, we are not able to say: put the question to him; he is old enough to give an answer for himself.
