12
They said therefore to him, Where is he? He says, I do not know.
13
They bring him who was before blind to the Pharisees.
14
Now it was sabbath when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes.
15
The Pharisees therefore also again asked him how he received his sight. And he said to them, He put mud upon mine eyes, and I washed, and I see.
16
Some of the Pharisees therefore said, This man is not of God, for he does not keep the sabbath. Others said, How can a sinful man perform such signs? And there was a division among them.
17
They say therefore again to the blind [man], What dost thou say of him, that he has opened thine eyes? And he said, He is a prophet.
18
The Jews therefore did not believe concerning him that he was blind and had received sight, until they had called the parents of him that had received sight.
19
And they asked them saying, This is your son, of whom ye say that he was born blind: how then does 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 sees we do not know, or who has opened his eyes we do not know. *He* is of age: ask *him*; *he* will speak concerning himself.
22
His parents said these things because they feared the Jews, for the Jews had already agreed that if any one confessed him [to be the] Christ, he should be excommunicated from the synagogue.
