His parents answered them, "We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;
21
but how he now sees, we don't know; or who opened his eyes, we don't know. He is of age. Ask him. He will speak for himself."
22
His parents said these things because they feared the Yehudim; for the Yehudim had already agreed that if any man would confess him as Messiah, he would be put out of the synagogue.
23
Therefore his parents said, "He is of age. Ask him."
24
So they called the man who was blind a second time, and said to him, "Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner."
25
He therefore answered, "I don't know if he is a sinner. One thing I know: that though I was blind, now I see."
26
They said to him again, "What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?"
27
He answered them, "I told you already, and you didn't listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you also want to become his talmidim?"
28
They became abusive towards him and said, "You are his talmid, but we are talmidim of Moshe.
29
We know that God has spoken to Moshe. But as for this man, we don't know where he comes from."

The man answered them, "How amazing! You don't know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes.
