He answered and said, “A Man called Jesus made clay and anointed my eyes and said to me, ‘Go to the pool of Siloam and wash.’ So I went and washed, and I received sight.” (John 9:11)
Jesus’ miraculous healing of the man born blind is one of the seven signs recorded in the gospel of John. When Jesus and His disciples passed by a man born blind, Jesus healed the man by putting mud on his eyes and sending him away to wash them. The man born blind went and washed his eyes, and came back seeing. The neighbors and acquaintances found it hard to believe he was the same man, but the man convinced them that he was in fact healed from his congenital blindness (9:9, 11).
