Contextual Overview

¹³ They brought him who from the beginning was blind to the Pharishee. ¹⁴ Now it was shabath when Jeshu made the clay and opened his eyes: ¹⁵ and again the Pharishee questioned him, How didst thou receive sight ? He said to them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and received sight. ¹⁶ And some of the Pharishee said, This man is not from Aloha; for the shabath he keepeth not. But others said, How can a man, a sinner, perform these signs ? And there was a division among them. ¹⁷ They say again to the blind, What sayest thou concerning him, because he hath opened thine eyes ? He saith to them, I say that he is the Prophet. ¹⁸ But believed not concerning him the Jihudoyee that blind he had been and made-to-see, until they called the parents of him who had been made to see, ¹⁹ and asked them, If this is your son who, you say, was born blind, how now doth he see ? ²⁰ His parents answered and said, We know that this (is) our son, and that blind he was born. ²¹ But how he now seeth, or who hath opened his eyes, we know not. He also hath entered on his years, ask him: he for himself shall speak. ²² These words said his parents, because they feared the Jihudoyee; for the Jihudoyee had determined that if any man should confess him that he was the Meshicha, they would cast him out of the synagogue:
