And it was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay
Which was reckoned a violation of the sabbath, ( John 9:16 ) , and was one reason why they had the man to the Pharisees to be examined, and why they were desirous of knowing where Jesus was:
and opened his eyes;
by putting on the clay, and sending him to wash in the Pool of Siloam: nor did the miracle, nor the good done to the man, excuse with them, what they thought a breach of the sabbath.
