Exegesis

In the final clause, autou {αὐτοῦ | au-toû} supplies the possessor, and epi tous ophthalmous {ἐπὶ τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς | e-pí toús oph-thal-moús} marks the target of application; English smooths the Greek into a natural sentence, but the source keeps the material sequence tightly controlled from speech, to spittle, to formed clay, to applied clay.

In contextJohn 9:6

After He spoke these words , He spat on the ground and fashioned clay out of the spittle, and He smoothed the clay over his eyes.
