5. While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”
6. When he had said this, he spat on the ground and made clay with the saliva, and smeared the clay on his eyes,
7. and said to him, “Go wash in the Pool of Siloam” (which means Sent). So he went and washed, and came back able to see.
8. His neighbors and those who had seen him earlier as a beggar said, “Isn’t this the one who used to sit and beg?”
9. Some said, “It is,” but others said, “No, he just looks like him.” He said, “I am.”
10. So they said to him, “[So] how were your eyes opened?”
11. He replied, “The man called Jesus made clay and anointed my eyes and told me, ‘Go to Siloam and wash.’ So I went there and washed and was able to see.”
12. And they said to him, “Where is he?” He said, “I don’t know.”
13. They brought the one who was once blind to the Pharisees.
14. Now Jesus had made clay and opened his eyes on a sabbath.
15. So then the Pharisees also asked him how he was able to see. He said to them, “He put clay on my eyes, and I washed, and now I can see.”
16. So some of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, because he does not keep the sabbath.” [But] others said, “How can a sinful man do such signs?” And there was a division among them.
