17. Therefore, they spoke again to the blind man, "What do you say about him who opened your eyes?" Then he said, "He is a Prophet."
18. Therefore, the Jews did not believe, about him, that he had been blind and had seen, until they called the parents of him who had seen.
19. And they questioned them, saying: "Is this your son, whom you say was born blind? Then how is it that he now sees?"
20. His parents responded to them and said: "We know that this is our son and that he was born blind.
21. But how it is that he now sees, we do not know. And who opened his eyes, we do not know. Ask him. He is old enough. Let him speak for himself."
22. His parents said these things because they were afraid of the Jews. For the Jews had already conspired, so that if anyone were to confess him to be the Christ, he would be expelled from the synagogue.
23. It was for this reason that his parents said: "He is old enough. Ask him."
24. Therefore, they again called the man who had been blind, and they said to him: "Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner."
