John 9:9-21

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.

¹⁷So they turned again to the blind man and asked, “What do you say about him? It was your eyes he opened.” He said, “He is a prophet.”

¹⁸The Jews didn’t believe that he had been blind, and had received sight, until they called the parents of the one who had received his sight,

¹⁹and questioned them, saying, “Is this your son, who you say was born blind? Then how does he now see?”

²⁰His parents answered them, “We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind,

²¹but how he now sees, we don’t know. Who opened his eyes, we don’t know. Ask him. He is of age. He will speak for himself.”
