JesusSiloam
Miracles and God's intervention

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.

He answered, “The man they call Jesus made some mud and anointed my eyes, and He told me to go to Siloam and wash. So I went and washed and received my sight.”

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

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