John 9:20-27

20His parents answered, “We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;

21but as to how he now sees, we do not know; or who has opened his eyes, we do not know. Ask him [and stop asking us]; he is of age, he will speak for himself and give his own account of it.”

22His parents said this because they were afraid of [the leaders of] the Jews; for the Jews had already agreed that if anyone acknowledged Jesus to be the Christ, he would be put out of the synagogue (excommunicated).

23Because of this his parents said, “He is of age; ask him.”

24So a second time they called the man who had been [born] blind, and said to him, “Give God glory and praise [for your sight]! We know this Man [Jesus] is a sinner [separated from God].”

25Then he answered, “I do not know whether He is a sinner [separated from God]; but one thing I do know, that though I was blind, now I see.”

26So they said to him, “What did He [actually] do to you? How did He open your eyes?”

27He answered, “I already told you and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again and again? Do you want to become His disciples, too?”
