He answered and said, A man who is called Jesus, made clay and anointed mine eyes, and said to me, Go to the pool of Siloam and wash: and I went and washed and received my sight. Then said they unto him, Where is He? he answered, I know not. So they brought him, that had formerly been blind, to the pharisees. Now it was the sabbath-day, when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes. Therefore the pharisees also asked him again, how he recovered his sight. And he said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and do see. Then said some of the pharisees, This man is not of God, because He doth not keep the sabbath: but others said, How can a wicked man do such miracles? And there was a division among them. So they asked the blind man again, What sayst thou concerning Him? as He hath opened thine eyes. And he said, He is a prophet.
