“He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight.”
He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight — the healed man gives a straightforward account: Jesus (called by name 'Jesus,' not yet recognized as the Messiah by the man) made clay, anointed his eyes, and directed him to the pool. His obedience ('I went and washed') resulted in sight ('received sight,' anablepo, came to see). The man's testimony is factual and simple, based on his experience. He does not yet interpret the significance; he merely reports what happened.
