John 9:11 In-Context

9 Others were saying, "It is this man"; others were saying, "No, but he is like him." That one was saying, "I am [he]!"

10 So they began to say to him, "How were your eyes opened?"

11 He replied, "The man who is called Jesus made clay and smeared [it] on my eyes and said to me, 'Go to Siloam and wash!' So I went, and I washed, [and] I received sight."

12 And they said to him, "Where is that man?" He said, "I do not know."

13 They brought him--the one formerly blind--to the Pharisees.
