Contextual Overview

¹³ And they brought him that had been blind, before the Pharisees. ¹⁴ Now it was on the sabbath that Jesus made the mud, and opened his eyes. ¹⁵ And again the Pharisees asked him: How was thy sight restored? And he said to them: He put mud upon my eyes, and I washed, and my sight was restored. ¹⁶ And some of the Pharisees said: This man is not of God, for he doth not observe the sabbath. But others said: How can a man that is a sinner, work these signs? And there was a division among them. ¹⁷ They say again to the blind man: What sayest thou of him, seeing he hath opened thy eyes? He said to them: I say, that he is a prophet. ¹⁸ And the Jews would not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and recovered sight, until they called the parents of him who recovered sight. ¹⁹ And they asked them: Is this your son, of whom ye say that he was born blind? And how doth he now see? ²⁰ And his parents answered and said: We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind; ²¹ but how he now seeth, or who opened his eyes, we know not. He hath come to his years, ask him; he will speak for himself. ²² These things said his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had decided, that if any one should confess him to be Messiah, they would expel him from the synagogue.
