John 9:6-7
9:6 a During the New Testament era, saliva was used for medical purposes (see Mark 7:32-35 b; 8:22-25 c).9:7 d Siloam, a pool at the south end of the city of Jerusalem, was the source of water for the ceremonies at the Festival of Shelters.
• Siloam means “sent”: This phrase contained a double meaning: Jesus, who has been sent by God (4:34 e; 5:23 f, 37 g; 7:28 h; 8:26 i; 12:44 j; 14:24 k), told the blind man to wash in the pool called “sent.”
