17
They say therefore to the blind man again: What sayest thou of him that hath opened thy eyes? And he said: He is a prophet.
18
The Jews then did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind and had received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight,
19
And asked them, saying: Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then doth 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 seeth, we know not: or who hath opened his eyes, we know not. Ask himself: he is of age: Let him speak for himself.
22
These things his parents said, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had already agreed among themselves that if any man should confess him to be Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.
23
Therefore did his parents say: He is of age. Ask himself.
24
They therefore called the man again that had been blind and said to him: Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner.
25
He said therefore to them: If he be a sinner, I know not. One thing I know, that whereas I was blind. now I see.
26
They said then to him: What did he to thee? How did he open thy eyes?
27
He answered them: I have told you already, and you have heard. Why would you hear it again? Will you also become his disciples?
