18
But the Jews did not believe concerning him that he had been blind and received his sight until they called the parents of him that had received his sight.
19
And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say 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 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.
25
He answered and said, Whether he is a sinner
or not, I
do not know; one thing I know, that having been blind, now I see.
26
Then said they to him again, What did he
do to thee? How did he open thine eyes?
27
He answered them, I have told you already, and ye have heard; what more would ye hear?
Do ye also desire to be his disciples?
28
Then they reviled him and said, Be thou his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.
