6Having said these words, he put earth, mixed with water from his mouth, on the man's eyes,
7And said to him, Go and make yourself clean in the bath of Siloam (the sense of the name is, Sent). So he went away and, after washing, came back able to see.
8Then the neighbours and others who had seen him before in the street, with his hand out for money, said, Is not this the man who got money from people?
9Some said, It is he: others said, No, but he is like him. He said, I am he.
10So they said to him, How then were your eyes made open?
11His answer was: The man who is named Jesus put earth mixed with water on my eyes, and said to me, Go and make yourself clean in Siloam: so I went away and, after washing, am now able to see.
12And they said to him, Where is he? His answer was: I have no knowledge.
13They took him before the Pharisees — this man who had been blind.
14Now the day on which the earth was mixed by Jesus and the man's eyes were made open was the Sabbath.
15So the Pharisees put more questions to him about how his eyes had been made open. And he said to them, He put earth on my eyes, and I had a wash and am able to see.
16Then some of the Pharisees said, That man has not come from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath. Others said, How is it possible for a sinner to do such signs? So there was a division among them.
17Again they said to the blind man, What have you to say about him for opening your eyes? And he said, He is a prophet.
18Now the Jews had no belief in the statement that he had been blind and was now able to see, till they sent for the father and mother of the man whose eyes had been made open,
19And put the question to them, saying, Is this your son, of whom you say that he was blind at birth? how is it then that he is now able to see?
20In answer his father and mother said, We are certain that this is our son and that he was blind at birth:
21But how it is he is now able to see, or who made his eyes open, we are not able to say: put the question to him; he is old enough to give an answer for himself.
