6
As he said this, he spat on the ground and made clay of the spittle and anointed the man's eyes with the clay,
7
saying to him, "Go, wash in the pool of Silo'am" (which means Sent). So he went and washed and came back seeing.
8
The neighbors and those who had seen him before as a beggar, said, "Is not this the man who used to sit and beg?"
9
Some said, "It is he"; others said, "No, but he is like him." He said, "I am the man."
10
They said to him, "Then how were your eyes opened?"
11
He answered, "The man called Jesus made clay and anointed my eyes and said to me, 'Go to Silo'am and wash'; so I went and washed and received my sight."
12
They said to him, "Where is he?" He said, "I do not know."
13
They brought to the Pharisees the man who had formerly been blind.
14
Now it was a sabbath day when Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes.
15
The Pharisees again asked him how he had received his sight. And he said to them, "He put clay on my eyes, and I washed, and I see."
16
Some of the Pharisees said, "This man is not from God, for he does not keep the sabbath." But others said, "How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?" There was a division among them.
