6. After He said these things He spit on the ground, made some mud from the saliva, and spread the mud on his eyes.

8. His neighbors and those who formerly had seen him as a beggar said, “Isn’t this the man who sat begging? ”
9. Some said, “He’s the one.” “No,” others were saying, “but he looks like him.”He kept saying, “I’m the one! ”
10. Therefore they asked him, “Then how were your eyes opened? ”

18. The Jews did not believe this about him — that he was blind and received sight — until they summoned the parents of the one who had received his sight.
