They bring him that had been blind to the Pharisees.
14
Now it was the sabbath, when Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes.
15
Again therefore the Pharisees asked him how he had received his sight. But he said to them: He put clay upon my eyes: and I washed: and I see.
16
Some therefore of the Pharisees said: This man is not of God, who keepeth not the sabbath. But others said: How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them.
17
They say therefore to the blind man again: What sayest thou of him that hath opened thy eyes? And he said: He is a prophet.
18
The Jews then did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind and had received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight,
19
And asked them, saying: Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then doth 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 seeth, we know not: or who hath opened his eyes, we know not. Ask himself: he is of age: Let him speak for himself.
22
These things his parents said, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had already agreed among themselves that if any man should confess him to be Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.
23
Therefore did his parents say: He is of age. Ask himself.
