Thereforesome of the Pharisees were saying, "Thisman is not from God, because He 1does not keep the Sabbath." But others were saying, "Howcan a man who is a sinnerperformsuch2signs?" And 3there was a divisionamong them.
17
So they said to the blindman4again, "What do you sayabout Him, since He opened your eyes?" And he said, "He is a 5prophet."
18
6The Jewsthen did not believe it of him, that he had beenblind and had receivedsight, until they called the parents of the veryone who had received his sight,
19
and questioned them, saying, "Is this your son, who you say was bornblind? Thenhow does he nowsee?"
20
His parentsanswered them and said, "We know that this is our son, and that he was bornblind;
21
but how he nowsees, we do not know; orwhoopened his eyes, we do not know. Ask him; he is of age, he will speak for himself."
22
His parentssaidthisbecause they 7were afraid of the Jews; for the Jews8had alreadyagreed that ifanyoneconfessed Him to be Christ, 9he was to be put out of the synagogue.
23
For thisreason his parentssaid, "10He is of age; ask him."
24
So a secondtime they called the manwho had beenblind, and said to him, "11Giveglory to God; we know that 12thisman is a sinner."
25
He thenanswered, "Whether He is a sinner, I do not know; onething I do know, that though I was blind, now I see."
26
So they said to him, "What did He do to you? How did He open your eyes?"
