John 9:6-14

⁶After he said that, he spat on the ground. He made a little bit of mud with the saliva, and put it on the man's eyes.

⁷Then he said to him, “Go and wash in Siloam pool!” (That name means ❛sent;❜ just like they sent the water by a channel into the pool, God sent Jesus). So the man went and washed in the pool, and when he went home he was able to see!

⁸His neighbors and others who previously had seen him when he was begging said, “He is the man who used to sit here and beg, isn't he?”

⁹Some said, “ Yes, he is.” Others said, “No, he is not. It is just a man who looks like him!” But the man himself said, “Yes, I am that man!”

¹⁰So they said to him, “How is it that now you can see?”

¹¹He replied, “The man whose name is Jesus made some mud and put it on my eyes. Then he told me to go to Siloam pool and wash. So I went there and washed, and then I could see.”

¹²They said to him, “Where is that man now?” He said, “I do not know.”

¹³They took to the Pharisees the man who was previously blind.

¹⁴The day on which Jesus made the mud and enabled the man to see again was a ◄Sabbath/Jewish day of rest►. The Pharisees considered that healing someone was work, and their rules did not permit people to do any work ◄ on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day►.
