John 9:14-24
English Standard Version
Chapter 9
14Now it was a Sabbath day when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes. 15So the Pharisees again asked him how he had received his sight. And he said to them, "He put mud on my eyes, and I washed, and I see." 16Some of the Pharisees said, "This man is not from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath." But others said, "How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?" And there was a division among them. 17So they said again to the blind man, "What do you say about him, since he has opened your eyes?" He said, "He is a prophet."
18The Jews did not believe that he had been blind and had received his sight, until they called the parents of the man who had received his sight
19and asked them, "Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then does he now see?"
20His parents answered, "We know that this is our son and that he was born blind.
21But how he now sees we do not know, nor do we know who opened his eyes. Ask him; he is of age. He will speak for himself."
22(His parents said these things because they feared the Jews, for the Jews had already agreed that if anyone should confess Jesus to be Christ, he was to be put out of the synagogue.)
23Therefore his parents said, "He is of age; ask him."
