Once again, the Pharisees
asked him how he had received his sight. He said to them, He put clay
on my eyes, and I washed and now see.
Therefore, some of the Pharisees said, This man is not of God because
He does not keep the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man who is a
sinner do such miracles? A division arose among them. Then they said to
the blind man again, what do you think about the one who opened your
eyes? The man answered, He is a prophet.
But the Jews did not believe that he had been blind and received his
sight until they called his parents. They asked them, Is this your son
who you say was born blind? How then does he see? His parents answered,
We know that this is our son and that he was born blind, but by what
means 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 for himself. His parents
spoke this way for fear of the Jews who had made it known that if
anyone said that Jesus was the Christ, he would be cast out of the
synagogue. Therefore his parents said, Our son is of age; ask him.
They called the man once again and said to him, Give God the praise! We
know that this man is a sinner. He answered, Whether He is a sinner I
do not know. One thing I do know; I was blind and now I see. Then they
said to him again, What did He do to you? How did He open your eyes? He
answered them, I have told you already and you did not hear.
