A pool in Jerusalem where Jesus healed a man born blind
JudeaA pool at the southern end of Jerusalem fed by the Gihon Spring through Hezekiah's tunnel. Jesus sent a man born blind to wash in the Pool of Siloam, and the man received his sight (John 9:7). Jesus also referenced the collapse of the Tower of Siloam, which killed 18 people, to challenge the assumption that suffering means someone sinned more than others (Luke 13:4).
Luke
Last Chance Energy and Small Beginnings
Siloam is named here as the site where a tower collapsed and killed eighteen people — Jesus uses this local disaster alongside Pilate's massacre to make the same point about universal human fragility.
John
The Blind Guy Who Cooked the Pharisees
Siloam is where the blind man walks — still unable to see — in an act of obedient faith after Jesus applies mud to his eyes, and it's the site where his sight is miraculously restored.
