22They said this because of their fear of the Jews: for the Jews had come to an agreement that if any man said that Jesus was the Christ he would be put out of the Synagogue.
23That was the reason why they said, He is old enough; put the question to him.
24So they sent a second time for the man who had been blind and they said to him, Give glory to God: it is clear to us that this man is a sinner.
25He said in answer, I have no knowledge if he is a sinner or not, but one thing I am certain about; I was blind, and now I see.
26Then they said to him, What did he do to you? how did he give you the use of your eyes?
27His answer was: I have said it before, but your ears were shut: why would you have me say it again? is it your desire to become his disciples?
28And they were angry with him and said, You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.
