John 9:18-23

18Until they talked to the man’s parents, the Jews didn’t believe that the man had been blind and had been given sight.

19They asked his parents, “Is this your son, the one you say was born blind? Why can he see now?”

20His parents replied, “We know that he’s our son and that he was born blind.

21But we don’t know how he got his sight or who gave it to him. You’ll have to ask him. He’s old enough to answer for himself.”

22(His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews. The Jews had already agreed to put anyone who acknowledged that Jesus was the Christ out of the synagogue.

23That’s why his parents said, “You’ll have to ask him. He’s old enough.”)
