John 9:20-27

20The parents replied, ‘We know that this is our son. And when he was born, he was blind. We know that, too.

21But we do not know how he can see now. We do not know who made his eyes able to see. Ask him. He is old enough to answer you for himself!’

22The man's parents said these things because they were afraid of the Jewish leaders. The Jewish leaders did not want anyone to say that Jesus was the Messiah. They would not let anyone like that belong to their meeting places.

23That is why the man's parents said, ‘Ask him. He is old enough.’

24So the leaders again spoke to the man who had been blind. They said to him, ‘In front of God, promise that you will speak only true things. We know that this man Jesus does not obey God.’

25The man replied, ‘I do not know whether he obeys God or not. But I do know one thing: I was blind and now I can see.’

26Then they asked him, ‘What did he do to you? How did he make your eyes able to see?’

27He answered them, ‘I have told you already and you would not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Maybe you want to become his disciples too!’
