(His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews. The Jews had already agreed to put anyone who acknowledged that Jesus was the Christ out of the synagogue.
23
That's why his parents said, "You'll have to ask him. He's old enough.")
24
So once again the Jews called the man who had been blind. They told him, "Give glory to God. We know that this man who gave you sight is a sinner."
25
The man responded, "I don't know if he's a sinner or not. But I do know one thing. I used to be blind, but now I can see."
26
The Jews asked him, "What did he do to you? How did he give you sight?"
27
The man replied, "I've already told you, but you didn't listen. Why do you want to hear the story again? Do you want to become his disciples too?"
28
The Jews yelled at him, "You're his disciple, but we're Moses' disciples.
29
We know that God spoke to Moses, but we don't know where this man came from."
30
The man replied to them, "That's amazing! You don't know where he's from. Yet, he gave me sight.
31
We know that God doesn't listen to sinners. Instead, he listens to people who are devout and who do what he wants.
32
Since the beginning of time, no one has ever heard of anyone giving sight to a person born blind.
