Read in context

John 9:6–10 · Berean Standard Bible

6 When Jesus had said this, He spit on the ground, made some mud, and applied it to the man’s eyes.

7 Then He told him, “Go, wash in the Pool of Siloam” (which means “Sent”). So the man went and washed, and came back seeing.

8 At this, his neighbors and those who had formerly seen him begging began to ask, “Isn’t this the man who used to sit and beg?”

9 Some claimed that he was, but others said, “No, he just looks like him.” But the man kept saying, “I am the one.”

10 “How then were your eyes opened?” they asked.
