5. As long as I am in the world, I am the world's Light.
6. When He had said this, He spat on the ground and made clay (mud) with His saliva, and He spread it [as ointment] on the man's eyes.
7. And He said to him, Go, wash in the Pool of Siloam–which means Sent. So he went and washed, and came back seeing.
8. When the neighbors and those who used to know him by sight as a beggar saw him, they said, Is not this the man who used to sit and beg?
9. Some said, It is he. Others said, No, but he looks very much like him. But he said, Yes, I am the man.
10. So they said to him, How were your eyes opened?
11. He replied, The Man called Jesus made mud and smeared it on my eyes and said to me, Go to Siloam and wash. So I went and washed, and I obtained my sight!
12. They asked him, Where is He? He said, I do not know.
13. Then they conducted to the Pharisees the man who had formerly been blind.
14. Now it was on the Sabbath day that Jesus mixed the mud and opened the man's eyes.
15. So now again the Pharisees asked him how he received his sight. And he said to them, He smeared mud on my eyes, and I washed, and now I see.
16. Then some of the Pharisees said, This Man [Jesus] is not from God, because He does not observe the Sabbath. But others said, How can a man who is a sinner (a bad man) do such signs and miracles? So there was a difference of opinion among them.
17. Accordingly they said to the blind man again, What do you say about Him, seeing that He opened your eyes? And he said, He is [He must be] a prophet!
18. However, the Jews did not believe that he had [really] been blind and that he had received his sight until they called (summoned) the parents of the man.
