14. Now it was a Sabbath when יהושע made the clay and opened his eyes.
15. Therefore the Pharisees also asked him again how he had received his sight. He said to them, “He put clay on my eyes, and I washed, and I see.”
16. Therefore some of the Pharisees said, “This Man is not from Elohim, because He does not guard the Sabbath.” Others said, “How is a man who is a sinner able to do such miracles?” And there was a division among them.
17. So they said to the blind one again, “What do you say about Him because He opened your eyes?” And he said, “He is a prophet.”
18. However, the Yehuḏim did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind and received his sight, till they called the parents of him who had received his sight.
19. And they asked them, saying, “Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then does he now see?”
20. His parents answered them and said, “We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind,
21. but how he now sees we do not know, or who opened his eyes we do not know. He is of age, ask him, he shall speak concerning himself.”
22. His parents said this because they were afraid of the Yehuḏim, for the Yehuḏim had already agreed that if anyone confessed that He was Messiah, he should be put out of the congregation.
23. Because of this his parents said, “He is of age, ask him.”
24. So for the second time they called the man who was blind, and said to him, “Give esteem to Elohim, we know that this Man is a sinner.”
25. Then he answered and said, “Whether He is a sinner, I do not know. I only know that I was blind, now I see.”
26. And they asked him once more, “What did He do to you? How did He open your eyes?”
27. He answered them, “I have told you already, and you did not hear. Why do you wish to hear it again? Do you wish to become His taught ones too?”
28. Then they abused him and said, “You are His taught one, but we are taught ones of Mosheh.
