Yochanan 9:7-15 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

7. And said to him, Go wash in the pool of Shiloach! [MELACHIM BAIS 5:10]. --The name means sent--He went therefore and washed and came seeing. [YESHAYAH 35:5]

8. Therefore, the shchenim and the ones seeing the man who was formerly a betler, came, saying, Is this not the man who was sitting and begging?

9. Some were saying, This is the one! Others were saying, No, but it is a man like him. But the man was saying, I am the one!

10. Therefore, the people were saying to him, How, then, were your eyes opened?

11. In reply, the man said, The one called Yehoshua took clay and anointed my eyes and said to me, Go to Shiloach [MELACHIM BAIS 5:10] and wash. Therefore, having gone, and having washed, I saw!

12. And they said to him, Where is that one? The man says to them, I do not have da'as of that.

13. The people lead the man to the Perushim…the man who had formerly been ivver (blind).

14. Now the time period Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach took the clay and opened his eyes was a Shabbos.

15. Then again also the Perushim were asking him how his eyes were opened, and the man said to them, The man placed clay on my eyes and I washed, and I see.
