17. So they said again to the blind man, “What do you say about him, since he has opened your eyes?” He said, “He is a prophet.”
18. The Jews did not believe that he had been blind and had received his sight, until they called the parents of the man who had received his sight
19. and asked them, “Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then does he now see?”
20. His parents answered, “We know that this is our son and that he was born blind.
21. But how he now sees we do not know, nor do we know who opened his eyes. Ask him; he is of age. He will speak for himself.”
22. (His parents said these things because they feared the Jews, for the Jews had already agreed that if anyone should confess Jesus to be Christ, he was to be put out of the synagogue.)
23. Therefore his parents said, “He is of age; ask him.”
24. So for the second time they called the man who had been blind and said to him, “Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner.”
