12
Then said they unto him, Where is he? He said, I know not.
13
They brought to the Pharisees him that beforehand had been blind.
14
And it was the sabbath day when Jesus had made the clay and had opened his eyes.
15
Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. He said unto them, He put clay upon my eyes, and I washed and do see.
16
Therefore some of the Pharisees said, This man is not of God because he does not keep the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such signs? And there was a division among them.
17
They said unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that has opened thine eyes? He said, He is a prophet.
18
But the Jews did not believe concerning him that he had been blind and received his sight until they called the parents of him that had received his sight.
19
And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye 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 by what means he now sees, we know not; or who has opened his eyes, we know not; he is of age, ask him; he shall speak for himself.
22
These
words spoke his parents because they feared the Jews, for the Jews had agreed already that if anyone did confess that he was the Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.
