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.
23
On this account his parents said, He is of age: ask *him*.
24
They called therefore a second time the man who had been blind, and said to him, Give glory to God: we know that this man is sinful.
25
He answered therefore, If he is sinful I know not. One thing I know, that, being blind [before], now I see.
26
And they said to him again, What did he do to thee? how opened he thine eyes?
27
He answered them, I told you already and ye did not hear: why do ye desire to hear again? do ye also wish to become his disciples?
28
They railed at him, and said, Thou art his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.
