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.
