John 9:6-12 English Standard Version (ESV)

6. Having said these things, he spit on the ground and made mud with the saliva. Then he anointed the man’s eyes with the mud

7. and said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which means Sent). So he went and washed and came back seeing.

8. The neighbors and those who had seen him before as a beggar were saying, “Is this not the man who used to sit and beg?”

9. Some said, “It is he.” Others said, “No, but he is like him.” He kept saying, “I am the man.”

10. So they said to him, “Then how were your eyes opened?”

11. He answered, “The man called Jesus made mud and anointed my eyes and said to me, ‘Go to Siloam and wash.’ So I went and washed and received my sight.”

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