John 9:9-11
New English Translation
9 Some people said,[a] “This is the man!”[b] while others said, “No, but he looks like him.”[c] The man himself[d] kept insisting, “I am the one!”[e] 10 So they asked him,[f] “How then were you made to see?”[g] 11 He replied,[h] “The man called Jesus made mud,[i] smeared it[j] on my eyes and told me,[k] ‘Go to Siloam and wash.’ So I went and washed, and was able to see.”[l]
