"Come and see the man who told me everything I have ever done. Could he be the Messiah?"

He answered, "The man called Jesus made some mud, rubbed it on my eyes, and told me to go to Siloam and wash my face. So I went, and as soon as I washed, I could see."

"Where is he?" they asked. "I don't know," he answered.

But the man went away and began to spread the news everywhere. Indeed, he talked so much that Jesus could not go into a town publicly. Instead, he stayed out in lonely places, and people came to him from everywhere.

They asked him, "Who is the man who told you to do this?"

The Pharisees, then, asked the man again how he had received his sight. He told them, "He put some mud on my eyes; I washed my face, and now I can see."

"I do not know if he is a sinner or not," the man replied. "One thing I do know: I was blind, and now I see."

The man answered, "What a strange thing that is! You do not know where he comes from, but he cured me of my blindness!

They answered, "You were born and brought up in sin---and you are trying to teach us?" And they expelled him from the synagogue.
