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.
29. “We know that Elohim has spoken to Mosheh, but this One, we do not know where He is from.”
30. The man answered and said to them, “Why, this is a wonder! You do not know where He is from, yet He opened my eyes!
31. “And we know that Elohim does not hear sinners. But if anyone fears Elohim and does His desire, He hears him.
32. “From of old it has never been heard that anyone opened the eyes of one who was born blind.
33. “If this One were not from Elohim, He could have done none at all.”
34. They answered and said to him, “You were completely born in sins – and are you teaching us?” And they cast him out.
35. יהושע heard that they had cast him out, and when He had found him, He said to him, “Do you believe in the Son of Elohim?”
36. He answered and said, “Who is He, Master, that I might believe in Him?”
