7. He told him, “Go wash yourself in the pool of Siloam” (Siloam means “sent”). So the man went and washed and came back seeing!
8. His neighbors and others who knew him as a blind beggar asked each other, “Isn’t this the man who used to sit and beg?”
9. Some said he was, and others said, “No, he just looks like him!”But the beggar kept saying, “Yes, I am the same one!”
10. They asked, “Who healed you? What happened?”
11. He told them, “The man they call Jesus made mud and spread it over my eyes and told me, ‘Go to the pool of Siloam and wash yourself.’ So I went and washed, and now I can see!”
12. “Where is he now?” they asked.“I don’t know,” he replied.
13. Then they took the man who had been blind to the Pharisees,
14. because it was on the Sabbath that Jesus had made the mud and healed him.
15. The Pharisees asked the man all about it. So he told them, “He put the mud over my eyes, and when I washed it away, I could see!”
