⁶ When He had said these things, ^(A)He spat on the ground and made clay with the saliva; and He anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay. ⁷ And He said to him, “Go, wash ^(B)in the pool of Siloam” (which is translated, Sent). So ^(C)he went and washed, and came back seeing.

⁸ Therefore the neighbors and those who previously had seen that he was ^[a]blind said, “Is not this he who sat and begged?”

⁹ Some said, “This is he.” Others said, ^[b]“He is like him.”

He said, “I am he.”

¹⁰ Therefore they said to him, “How were your eyes opened?”

¹¹ He answered and said, ^(D)“A Man called Jesus made clay and anointed my eyes and said to me, ‘Go to ^[c]the pool of Siloam and wash.’ So I went and washed, and I received sight.”

²⁴ So they again called the man who was blind, and said to him, ^(A)“Give God the glory! ^(B)We know that this Man is a sinner.”

²⁵ He answered and said, “Whether He is a sinner or not I do not know. One thing I know: that though I was blind, now I see.”

True Vision and True Blindness

³⁵ Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when He had ^(A)found him, He said to him, “Do you ^(B)believe in ^(C)the Son of ^[a]God?”

³⁶ He answered and said, “Who is He, Lord, that I may believe in Him?”

³⁷ And Jesus said to him, “You have both seen Him and ^(D)it is He who is talking with you.”

³⁸ Then he said, “Lord, I believe!” And he ^(E)worshiped Him.
