“The neighbours therefore, and they which before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?”
“The neighbors therefore, and they that saw him aforetime, that he was a beggar, said, Is not this he that sat and begged? ”
“Then the neighbors and the people who had seen him previously as a beggar began saying,“Is this not the man who used to sit and beg?””
“The neighbours, therefore, and they who had seen him before that he was a beggar, said: Is not this he that sat and begged? Some said: This is he.”
“Then the neighbours and others who had seen him before in the street, with his hand out for money, said, Is not this the man who got money from people?”
“The neighbours therefore, and they which before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?”
While I am in the world, I am the light of the world."
When he had said this, he spat on the ground, made mud with the saliva, anointed the blind man's eyes with the mud,
and said to him, "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam" (which means "Sent"). So he went away, washed, and came back seeing.
The neighbors therefore, and those who saw that he was blind before, said, "Isn't this he who sat and begged?"
Others were saying, "It is he." Still others were saying, "He looks like him." He said, "I am he."
They therefore were asking him, "How were your eyes opened?"
He answered, "A man called Jesus made mud, anointed my eyes, and said to me, 'Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash.' So I went away and washed, and I received sight."
