Contextual Overview
13 So they brought to the Pharisees him who had been blind from his birth. 14 Now it was the sabbath when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes. 15 Again the Pharisees asked him, How did you receive your sight? He said to them, He placed clay on my eyes, and I washed, and I see. 16 Then some of the Pharisees said, This man is not from God, because he does not observe the sabbath; others said, How can a man who is a sinner do these miracles? And there was a division among them. 17 They said to the blind man again, What do you say concerning him who opened your eyes? He said to them, I say he is a prophet. 18 But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and had received his sight, until they called the parents of him who had received his sight. 19 And they asked them, Is this your son, who you say was born blind? how then does he now see? 20 His parents answered and said, We know that he is our son, and that he was born blind. 21 But how he sees now, or who opened his eyes, we do not know; he is of age, ask him, he will speak for himself. 22 His parents said these things because they were afraid of the Jews; for the Jews had decided already, that if any man should confess that he is the Christ, they would put him out of the synagogue.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And they asked them, saying, is this your son,.... The first question they put was, whether the man that stood before them, pointing to him, was their son or not; whether they knew him by any marks to be their son, and would own him as such: had they answered to this in the negative, they would have got an advantage against him, and would have convicted him of a lie, since he had given out that he was the son of such parents; and proving such a lie upon him, would at once have brought the whole affair into suspicion at least: they add,
who ye say was born blind; this contains a second question, whether, if this was their son, he was born blind or not; and if he was not born blind, though he had been blind, it would have greatly lessened the miracle: and besides, they would have put other questions upon this, whether his blindness was real, and by what means it came. Next follows a third question,
how then doth he now see? By what means has he received his sight? They might hope, that if he was their son, and was really born blind, that he had his sight some other way than by Jesus; or they might object this to his being born, blind, as being a thing impossible, or at least not credible that he should ever see, was that the case.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Is this your son? ... - The Pharisees proposed three questions to the parents, by which they hoped to convict the man of falsehood:
- Whether he was their son?
- Whether they would affirm that he was born blind? and,
- Whether they knew by what means he now saw?
They evidently intended to intimidate the parents, so that they might give an answer to one of these questions that would convict the man of deception. We see here the art to which men will resort rather than admit the truth. Had they been half as much disposed to believe on Jesus as they were to disbelieve, there would have been no difficulty in the case. And so with all men: were they as much inclined to embrace the truth as they are to reject it, there would soon be an end of cavils.
