Read in context

John 9:12–16 · Berean Standard Bible

12 “Where is He?” they asked. “I do not know,” he answered.

13 They brought to the Pharisees the man who had been blind.

14 Now the day on which Jesus had made the mud and opened his eyes was a Sabbath.

15 So the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. The man answered, “He put mud on my eyes, and I washed, and now I can see.”

16 Because of this, some of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, for He does not keep the Sabbath.” But others said, “How can a sinful man perform such signs?” And there was division among them.
