John 9:7-26

Riverside(i) 7 and said to him, "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam (which means Sent)." He went away and washed and came back seeing. 8 His neighbors and those accustomed to see him before, when he was begging, said, "Is not this the man that sat and begged?" 9 Some said, "This is he." Others said, "No, but he is like him." He said, "I am the man." 10 They said to him, "How then were your eyes opened?" 11 He replied, "The man called Jesus made clay and spread it on my eyes and said to me, 'Go to Siloam and wash.' I went and washed and received my sight." 12 They said to him, "Where is that man?" He said, "I do not know." 13 They brought him to the Pharisees — the man once blind. 14 It was on the Sabbath day that Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes. 15 The Pharisees in their turn asked him how he received his sight. He said to them, "He put clay on my eyes and I washed and I saw." 16 Some of the Pharisees said, "This man is not from God because he does not keep the Sabbath." Others said, "How can a man, if he is a sinner, do such signs?" So there was a division among them. 17 They said again to the blind man, "What do you say about him, now that he has opened your eyes?" He said, "He is a prophet." 18 The Jews did not believe the story that he was blind and recovered his sight, until they had called the parents of the man who had recovered his sight 19 and had asked them, "Is this your son, who you say was born blind? Then how can he see now?" 20 His parents answered, "We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind. 21 But how he sees now we do not know, or who opened his eyes we do not know. Ask him; he is of age; he shall speak for himself." 22 His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews. For the Jews had already agreed that if any one confessed Jesus as the Christ, he should be cast out of the synagogue. 23 For this reason his parents said, "He is of age, ask him." 24 They called a second time the man who had been blind, and said to him, "Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner." 25 The man answered, "Whether he is a sinner I do not know. One thing I know, I was blind and now I see." 26 They said to him, "What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?"
