Pool of Siloam
In the Bible
Jesus put mud on the eyes of a blind man and told him to wash in the Pool of Siloam; he went, washed, and came back seeing.
John 9:6–7
When Jesus had said this, He spit on the ground, made some mud, and applied it to the man’s eyes. Then He told him, “Go, wash in the Pool of Siloam” (which means “Sent”). So the man went and washed, and came back seeing.Here today

Through the eyes of old pilgrims
Also as you come out of Jerusalem to go up Mount Sion, on the left hand, below in the valley, beside the wall, is a pool which is called Siloe and has four porticoes; and there is another large pool outside it.The Bordeaux Pilgrim, 333
