17 So they said to the blind man again, “What do you say about him, because he opened your eyes?” And he said, “He is a prophet.”
18 So the Jews did not believe concerning him that he had been blind and received sight, until they summoned the parents of the one who received sight.
19 And they asked them, saying, “Is this man your son, whom you say was born blind? Then how does he now see?”
20 So his parents answered and said, “We know that this man is our son, and that he was born blind.
21 But how he now sees we do not know, or who opened his eyes we do not know. Ask him! He is a mature adult; he will speak for himself!”
22 (His parents said these things because they were afraid of the Jews, for the Jews had already decided that if anyone should confess him to be Christ, he would be expelled from the synagogue.
23 Because of this his parents said, “He is a mature adult; ask him.”)
