John 9:6 Context
4I must worke the workes of him that sent me, while it is day: the night commeth when no man can worke. 5As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world. 6When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spettle, and he anointed the eyes of the blinde man with the clay, 7And said vnto him, Goe wash in the poole of Siloam (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therfore, and washed, and came seeing. 8¶ The neighbours therefore, and they which before had seene him, that he was blinde, said, Is not this he that sate and begged?

Wesley's Notes for John 9:6
9:6 He anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay - This might almost have blinded a man that had sight. But what could it do toward curing the blind? It reminds us that God is no farther from the event, when he works either with, or without means, and that all the creatures are only that which his almighty operation makes them.
