15
Then the Pharisees also began to ask him how he had received his sight. He said to them, "He put mud on my eyes. Then I washed, and now I see."
16
Some of the Pharisees said, "This man is not from God, for he does not observe the sabbath." But others said, "How can a man who is a sinner perform such signs?" And they were divided.
17
So they said again to the blind man, "What do you say about him? It was your eyes he opened." He said, "He is a prophet."
18
The Jews 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 we do not know how it is that now he sees, nor do we know who opened his eyes. Ask him; he is of age. He will speak for himself."
22
His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews; for the Jews had already agreed that anyone who confessed Jesus to be the Messiah would be put out of the synagogue.
23
Therefore his parents said, "He is of age; ask him."
24
So for the second time they called the man who had been blind, and they said to him, "Give glory to God! We know that this man is a sinner."
25
He answered, "I do not know whether he is a sinner. One thing I do know, that though I was blind, now I see."
