John 9:14-21

14 ¹Now it was a Sabbath day when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes.

15 ²So the Pharisees again asked him how he had received his sight. And he said to them, “He put mud on my eyes, and I washed, and I see. ”

16 Some of the Pharisees said, “This man is not ³from God, ⁴for he does not keep the Sabbath. ” But others said, ⁵“How can a man who is a sinner do such signs? ” And ⁶there was a division among them.

17 So they said again to the blind man, “What do you say about him, since he has opened your eyes? ” He said, ⁷“He is a prophet. ”

18 ⁸The Jews^[a] did not believe that he had been blind and had received his sight, until they called the parents of the man who had received his sight

19 and asked them, “Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then does he now see? ”

20 His parents answered, “We know that this is our son and that he was born blind.

21 But how he now sees we do not know, nor do we know who opened his eyes. Ask him; he is of age. He will speak for himself. ”
