Jesus replied, "Neither this man sinned nor his parents, but it happened so that the works of God could be revealed in him.

And he said to him, "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam" (which is translated "sent"). So he went and washed and came back seeing.

So they began to say to him, "How were your eyes opened?"

He replied, "The man who is called Jesus made clay and smeared it on my eyes and said to me, ‘Go to Siloam and wash!' So I went, and I washed, and I received sight."

So the Pharisees also were asking him again how he received sight. And he said to them, "He put clay on my eyes, and I washed, and I see."

So some of the Pharisees were saying, "This man is not from God, because he does not observe the Sabbath!" Others were saying, "How can a man who is a sinner perform such signs?" And there was a division among them.

So they said to the blind man again, "What do you say about him, because he opened your eyes?" And he said, "He is a prophet."

So the Jews did not believe concerning him that he had been blind and received sight, until they summoned the parents of the one who received sight.

So they summoned the man who had been blind for the second time and said to him, "Give glory to God! We know that this man is a sinner!"

So they said to him, "What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?"

So the Jews surrounded him and began to say to him, "How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly!"

Then the Jews picked up stones again so that they could stone him.

But if I am doing them, even if you do not believe me, believe the deeds, so that you may know and understand that the Father is in me and I am in the Father."

So they were seeking again to seize him, and he departed out of their hand.

So the sisters sent word to him, saying, "Lord, behold, the one whom you love is sick."
