9. Some people said, “Yes! He is the one.” But others said, “No, he can’t be the same man. He only looks like him.” So the man himself said, “I am that same man.”
10. They asked, “What happened? How did you get your sight?”
11. He answered, “The man they call Jesus made some mud and put it on my eyes. Then he told me to go to Siloam and wash. So I went there and washed. And then I could see.”
12. They asked him, “Where is this man?” He answered, “I don’t know.”
13. Then the people brought the man to the Pharisees.
14. The day Jesus had made mud and healed the man’s eyes was a Sabbath day.
15. So the Pharisees asked the man, “How did you get your sight?” He answered, “He put mud on my eyes. I washed, and now I can see.”
16. Some of the Pharisees said, “That man does not obey the law about the Sabbath day. So he is not from God.” Others said, “But someone who is a sinner cannot do these miraculous signs.” So they could not agree with each other.
17. They asked the man again, “Since it was your eyes he healed, what do you say about him?” He answered, “He is a prophet.”
18. The Jewish leaders still did not believe that this really happened to the man—that he was blind and was now healed. But later they sent for his parents.
19. They asked them, “Is this your son? You say he was born blind. So how can he see?”
20. His parents answered, “We know that this man is our son. And we know that he was born blind.
