John 9:9-19

9 Some of them said, "He's the one." Others said, "No, he isn't, but he looks like him." But the man himself said, "I am the one."
10 So they asked him, "How did you receive your sight?"
11 He replied, "The man people call Jesus mixed some spit with dirt, smeared it on my eyes, and told me, 'Go to Siloam, and wash it off.' So I went there, washed it off, and received my sight."
12 They asked him, "Where is that man?" The man answered, "I don't know."
13 Some people brought the man who had been blind to the Pharisees.
14 The day when Jesus mixed the spit and dirt and gave the man sight was a day of worship.
15 So the Pharisees asked the man again how he received his sight. The man told the Pharisees, "He put a mixture of spit and dirt on my eyes. I washed it off, and now I can see."
16 Some of the Pharisees said, "The man who did this is not from God because he doesn't follow the traditions for the day of worship." Other Pharisees asked, "How can a man who is a sinner perform miracles like these?" So the Pharisees were divided in their opinions.
17 They asked the man who had been born blind another question: "What do you say about the man who gave you sight?" The man answered, "He's a prophet."
18 Until they talked to the man's parents, the Jews didn't believe that the man had been blind and had been given sight.
19 They asked his parents, "Is this your son, the one you say was born blind? Why can he see now?"
