John 9:8-16

⁸Then the neighbors and those who used to see him as a beggar began to ask, “Isn’t this the man who used to sit and beg?”

⁹Some were saying, “Yes, it is he,” others were saying, “No, but he is like him.” He kept saying, “I’m the one.”

¹⁰So they asked him, “How were your eyes opened?”

¹¹He answered, “The man called Jesus made mud, put it on my eyes, and told me, ‘Go to Siloam, and wash’; so I went and washed, and I received sight.”

¹²“Where is this man?” they asked him. “I don’t know,” he said.

¹³They brought the man who used to be blind to the Pharisees.

¹⁴Now it was a sabbath day when Jesus made the mud and opened the man’s eyes.

¹⁵So the Pharisees were also asking him how he received his sight. He told them, “He applied mud to my eyes, I washed, and I see.”

¹⁶Therefore some of the Pharisees said, “This Man isn’t from God, because He doesn’t keep the Sabbath.” Others said, “How can a sinner do such signs?” So there was a division among them.
