John 9

²⁰ His parents answered, “We know he is our son, and we know he was born blind.

²¹ But how he can now see or who opened his eyes, we do not know. Ask him. He is old enough to speak for himself.”

²² His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews. For the Jews had already determined that anyone who confessed Jesus as the Christ would be put out of the synagogue.

²³ That was why his parents said, “He is old enough. Ask him.”

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