6. Baada ya kusema hayo, akatema mate chini, akafanyiza tope, akampaka yule kipofu machoni,
7. akamwambia, “Nenda ukanawe katika bwawa la Siloamu.” (Maana ya jina hili ni “aliyetumwa”). Hapo, huyo kipofu akaenda, akanawa, kisha akarudi akiwa anaona.
8. Basi, jirani zake na wale waliokuwa wanajua kwamba hapo awali alikuwa maskini mwombaji, wakasema, “Je, huyu siye yule maskini aliyekuwa akiketi na kuomba?”
9. Baadhi yao wakasema, “Ndiye.” Wengine wakasema, “La! Ila anafanana naye.” Lakini huyo aliyekuwa kipofu akasema, “Ni mimi!”
10. Basi, wakamwuliza, “Sasa, macho yako yalipataje kufumbuliwa?”
11. Naye akawajibu, “Yule mtu aitwaye Yesu alifanya tope, akanipaka machoni na kuniambia: ‘Nenda ukanawe katika bwawa la Siloamu.’ Hapo, mimi nikaenda, nikanawa, nikapata kuona.”
