This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Joh 9:7. Νίψαι, wash thyself) thy face.-τοῦ Σιλωάμ, Siloam) A name given to this place formerly, because Jesus Christ was about to send thither the blind man. And from this time the name of the place was a memorial of the miracle wrought at it. The derivation is implied in Go, wash thyself.-ὁ ἐρμηνεύεται ἀπεσταλμένος, which is rendered in translation Sent) The Evangelist adds this. Comp. Joh 9:11, “Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash.”-καὶ ἦλθε, and he went) before going to his parents.
