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.”
22The reason his parents said this was because they were afraid of what the Jewish leaders would do. The Jewish leaders had already announced that anyone who declared that Jesus was the Messiah would be thrown out of the synagogue.
23That was why his parents said, “Ask him, he's old enough.”
24Once more they called in the man who had been blind, and told him, “Give God the glory! We know this man is a sinner.”
25The man replied, “Whether he's a sinner or not, I don't know. All I know is that I was blind and now I can see.”
26Then they asked him, “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?”
27The man replied, “I already told you. Weren't you listening? Why do you want to hear it again? You don't want to become his disciples too, do you?”
