John 9:22

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.

John 9:22 In-Context

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.
23 Therefore his parents said, He is of age, ask him.
24 Then they called again the man that had been blind and said unto him, Give glory to God; we know that this man is a sinner.
