John 9:10-21

¹⁰“So how is it you can see?” they asked him.

¹¹He replied, “A man called Jesus made some mud and put it on my eyes and told me, ‘Go and wash yourself in the Pool of Siloam.’ So I went and washed, and now I can see.”

¹²“Where is he?” they asked. “I don't know,” he replied.

¹³They took the man who had been blind to the Pharisees.

¹⁴Now it was the Sabbath when Jesus had made the mud and opened the blind man's eyes.

¹⁵So the Pharisees also asked him how he could see. He told them, “He put mud on my eyes, and I washed, and now I can see.”

¹⁶Some of the Pharisees said, “The man who did this can't be from God because he doesn't keep the Sabbath.” But others wondered, “How could a sinner do such miracles?” So they were divided in their opinion.

¹⁷So they went on questioning the man. “What's your opinion about him, then, since it's your eyes he opened,” they asked. “He's surely a prophet,” the man replied.

¹⁸The Jewish leaders still refused to believe that the man who had been blind could now see until they had called in the man's parents.

¹⁹They asked them, “Is this your son whom you say was born blind? So how is it that now he can see?”

²⁰His parents answered, “We know this is our son who was born blind.

²¹But we've no idea how he can see now, or who healed him. Why don't you ask him, he's old enough. He can speak for himself.”
