Jn. 9:6‑11• 6Esto dicho, escupió en tierra, é hizo lodo con la saliva, y untó con el lodo sobre los ojos del ciego,
7Y díjole: Ve, lávate en el estanque de Siloé (que significa, si lo interpretares, Enviado). Y fué entonces, y lavóse, y volvió viendo.
8Entonces los vecinos, y los que antes le habían visto que era ciego, decían: ¿no es éste el que se sentaba y mendigaba?
9Unos decían: Este es; y otros: A él se parece. El decía: Yo soy.
10Y dijéronle: ¿Cómo te fueron abiertos los ojos?
11Respondió él y dijo: El hombre que se llama Jesús, hizo lodo, y me untó los ojos, y me dijo: Ve al Siloé, y lávate: y fuí, y me lavé, y recibí la vista.

1 Jn. 2:20‑27• 20Mas vosotros tenéis la unción del Santo, y conocéis todas las cosas.
21No os he escrito como si ignoraseis la verdad, sino como á los que la conocéis, y que ninguna mentira es de la verdad.
22¿Quién es mentiroso, sino el que niega que Jesús es el Cristo? Este tal es anticristo, que niega al Padre y al Hijo.
23Cualquiera que niega al Hijo, este tal tampoco tiene al Padre. Cualquiera que confiese al Hijo tiene también al Padre.
24Pues lo que habéis oído desde el principio, sea permaneciente en vosotros. Si lo que habéis oído desde el principio fuere permaneciente en vosotros, también vosotros permaneceréis en el Hijo y en el Padre.
25Y esta es la promesa, la cual él nos prometió, la vida eterna.
26Os he escrito esto sobre los que os engañan.
27Pero la unción que vosotros habéis recibido de él, mora en vosotros, y no tenéis necesidad que ninguno os enseñe; mas como la unción misma os enseña de todas cosas, y es verdadera, y no es mentira, así como os ha enseñado, perseveraréis en él.
(1 Jn. 2:20‑27)
 Gold is used as the symbol of intrinsic righteousness in God's nature, or divine righteousness; and white raiment or linen stands for the righteousnesses of saints, as we see from Revelation 19. Divine righteousness had slipped from their thoughts. They were neither appreciating the righteousness of God, which a Christian is made in Christ, nor the practical righteousness displayed before men, which the Spirit leads in. (Lectures on Revelation: 3:14-22: Laodicea by W. Kelly)
 Hearts are uncommonly naked in God's presence, unless Christ be their covering. (Lectures on Revelation: 3:14-22: Laodicea by W. Kelly)
 Gold Tried in the Fire: True and approved righteousness. (Revelation 3 Symbols by A.H. Burton)
 White Raiment: Clothing for moral nakedness. (Revelation 3 Symbols by A.H. Burton)
 Nakedness: Spiritual destitution. (Revelation 3 Symbols by A.H. Burton)
 Eye Salve: True spiritual vision. (Revelation 3 Symbols by A.H. Burton)
