John 9:6      John 9:8

John 9:7

and said to him, "Go and wash in the pool of Siloam." The word "Siloam" means "sent."
[The Jewish leaders considered saliva to be unclean, while it was a common Jewish belief that it had healing properties. The Bible does not explain why Jesus spits, but he also did so in two other healings, see Mark 7:33; 8:23. It may be that Jesus uses mud to show that he continues God's creation. In Gen. 2:7, it is described how man is created from the dust of the ground and the breath of life from his mouth.]
The man therefore went [took an active step in faith] and washed himself [in the pool located in the southeast corner of Jerusalem, about eight hundred meters from the southern entrance to the temple area where they were probably located] and came back and could now see. [After the healing, he goes to his home, because the next verse mentions that he meets his neighbors. It is not until verse 35 that he meets Jesus again.]
