21. But we don't know how he can now see. And we don't know who opened his eyes. Ask him. He is an adult. He can speak for himself."
22. His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews. The Jews had already decided that anyone who said Jesus was the Christ would be put out of the synagogue.
23. That was why the man's parents said, "He is an adult. Ask him."
24. Again they called the man who had been blind to come to them. "Give glory to God by telling the truth!" they said. "We know that the man who healed you is a sinner."
25. He replied, "I don't know if he is a sinner or not. I do know one thing. I was blind, but now I can see!"
26. Then they asked him, "What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?"
27. He answered, "I have already told you. But you didn't listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you want to become his disciples too?"
28. Then they began to attack him with their words. "You are this fellow's disciple!" they said. "We are disciples of Moses!
29. We know that God spoke to Moses. But we don't even know where this fellow comes from."
30. The man answered, "That is really surprising! You don't know where he comes from, and yet he opened my eyes.
31. We know that God does not listen to sinners. He listens to godly people who do what he wants them to do.
