(6)Having thus spoken, he spit on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay, (7)and said to him: Go, wash in the pool of Siloam (which is interpreted, Sent). He went away therefore, and washed, and came seeing. (8)The neighbors therefore, and they who before had seen him that he was a beggar, said: Is not this he that sits and begs? (9)Some said: This is he; and others: He is like him; he said: I am he. (10)Therefore they said to him: How were thine eyes opened? (11)He answered: A man called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said to me: Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash. And I went away and washed, and received sight. (12)They said to him: Where is he? He said: I know not. (13)They bring to the Pharisees him who before was blind. (14)And it was the sabbath when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes. (15)Again therefore the Pharisees also asked him, how he received sight. He said to them: He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and do see. (16)Therefore some of the Pharisees said: This man is not from God, because he keeps not the sabbath. Others said: How can a man that is a sinner do such signs? And there was a division among them. (17)They say to the blind man again: What sayest thou of him, seeing that he opened thine eyes? He said: He is a Prophet. (18)The Jews therefore did not believe concerning him, that he was blind and received sight, until they called the parents of him that received sight. (19)And they asked them, saying: Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? How then does he now see? (20)His parents answered them and said: We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind. (21)But by what means he now sees, we know not; or who opened his eyes, we know not. He is of age; ask him. He shall speak for himself. (22)These words spoke his parents, because they feared the Jews; for the Jews had agreed already, that if any one acknowledged him as Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue. (23)Therefore his parents said: He is of age; ask him.
