John 9:11
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 verse is the plain testimony of the man born blind after his healing, that a man called Jesus made clay and put it on his eyes and sent him to wash in the pool of Siloam, and that he went and washed in obedience and received sight. He identifies Jesus simply as the one who anointed his eyes and tells that he washed and could see.
The healing was a wonderful evidence of the truth of Christ's mission, and convincing evidence that His mission was divine. The evidence was seen in the visible transformation, which led the people to ask how his eyes had been opened. His account then became evidence in the dispute over Jesus healing on the Sabbath. The Pharisees treated the cure as proof against Jesus, while others asked how a sinner could perform such a miracle.
His simple witness about what Jesus had done stood against the prejudice and spiritual blindness of the Pharisees and Jewish leaders. Those leaders were spiritually blind through envy, jealousy, and unbelief. They made no effort to receive enlightenment and chose to remain in darkness, and they tried to smother his testimony because they hated Jesus and feared He would be honored above them.
The healed man is an example of one whom the compassionate Shepherd seeks to save. Though the self-righteous Pharisees despised him, Christ showed him compassion. He extended healing and compassion to him even though the man did not yet know who He was. The man learned Jesus' identity only when Jesus revealed Himself as the Son of God, and then he worshiped Him.
