John 9:20-27

20Then his parents answered, “We know that this is our son and that he was born blind.

21We don’t know how he now sees, nor do we know who opened his eyes. Ask him—he’s old enough. He will speak for himself.”

22His parents said this because they were afraid of the Judean leaders. For the Judean leaders had already agreed that anyone who professed Yeshua to be Messiah would be thrown out of the synagogue.

23That’s why his parents said, “He’s old enough—ask him.”

24So a second time they called the man who had been blind and said, “Give glory to God! We know that this man is a sinner!”

25The man replied, “I don’t know whether He’s a sinner. One thing I do know is that I was blind, but now I see!”

26So they asked him, “What did He do to you? How did He open your eyes?”

27“I told you already and you didn’t listen!” the man responded. “What, do you want to hear it again? You don’t want to become His disciples too, do you?”
