Place

Siloam

실로암

The place Luke 13:4 names where a tower fell and killed eighteen people. At 13:4–5 Jesus asks whether those eighteen were worse offenders than all the men who dwell in Jerusalem, and says, “I tell you, no, but, unless you repent, you will all perish in the same way.” At John 9:1–7 Jesus anoints the eyes of a man blind from birth with mud and says to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which means “Sent”), and he goes away, washes, and comes back seeing; at 9:10–11, asked how his eyes were opened, the man answers, “A man called Jesus made mud, anointed my eyes, and said to me, ‘Go to the pool of Siloam and wash.’ So I went away and washed, and I received sight.”

  • JHN 9:1–7, engwebp

    1As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth.

    2His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”

    3Jesus answered, “This man didn’t sin, nor did his parents, but that the works of God might be revealed in him.

    4I must work the works of him who sent me while it is day. The night is coming, when no one can work.

    5While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”

    6When he had said this, he spat on the ground, made mud with the saliva, anointed the blind man’s eyes with the mud,

    7and said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which means “Sent”). So he went away, washed, and came back seeing.

  • JHN 9:8–12, engwebp

    8Therefore the neighbors and those who saw that he was blind before said, “Isn’t this he who sat and begged?”

    9Others were saying, “It is he.” Still others were saying, “He looks like him.” He said, “I am he.”

    10They therefore were asking him, “How were your eyes opened?”

    11He answered, “A man called Jesus made mud, anointed my eyes, and said to me, ‘Go to the pool of Siloam and wash.’ So I went away and washed, and I received sight.”

    12Then they asked him, “Where is he?” He said, “I don’t know.”

  • LUK 13:1–5, engwebp

    1Now there were some present at the same time who told him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices.

    2Jesus answered them, “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered such things?

    3I tell you, no, but unless you repent, you will all perish in the same way.

    4Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them—do you think that they were worse offenders than all the men who dwell in Jerusalem?

    5I tell you, no, but, unless you repent, you will all perish in the same way.”
