John 9:23 In-Context

21 but how it is that he can now see or who has opened his eyes we do not know. Ask him himself; he is of full age; he himself will give his own account of it."

23 That was why his parents said, "He is of full age: ask him himself."

24 A second time therefore they called the man who had been blind, and said, "Give God the praise: we know that that man is a sinner."

25 "Whether he is a sinner or not, I do not know," he replied; "one thing I know--that I was once blind and that now I can see."
