John 9:23

Therefore said his parents, he is of age
(See Gill on John 9:21).

John 9:23 In-Context

21 But we don't know how he got his sight or who gave it to him. You'll have to ask him. He's old enough to answer for himself."
22 (His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews. The Jews had already agreed to put anyone who acknowledged that Jesus was the Christ out of the synagogue.
23 That's why his parents said, "You'll have to ask him. He's old enough.")
24 So once again the Jews called the man who had been blind. They told him, "Give glory to God. We know that this man who gave you sight is a sinner."
25 The man responded, "I don't know if he's a sinner or not. But I do know one thing. I used to be blind, but now I can see."
