16Some therefore of the Pharisees said, "This man is not from God, because he doesn`t keep the Sabbath." Others said, "How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?" There was division among them.
17Therefore they asked the blind man again, "What do you say about him, in that he opened your eyes?" He said, "He is a prophet."
18The Jews therefore did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and had received his sight, until they called the parents of him 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 them, "We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;
21but how he now sees, we don`t know; or who opened his eyes, we don`t know. He is of age. Ask him. He will speak for himself."
22His parents said these things because they feared the Jews; for the Jews had already agreed that if any man would confess him as Christ, he would be put out of the synagogue.
