Contextual Overview

¹³ They brought him to the Pharisees, the one once blind. ¹⁴ And it was a sabbath when Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes. ¹⁵ Then also the Pharisees again asked him how he saw anew. And he said to them, He put 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 keep the sabbath. Others said, How can a man, a sinner, do such miraculous signs? And there was a division among them. ¹⁷ They said to the blind one again, What do you say about Him, because He opened your eyes? And he said, He is a prophet. ¹⁸ Then the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he was blind and saw anew, until they called the parents of him seeing anew. ¹⁹ And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, whom you say that he was born blind? Then how does he now see? ²⁰ His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind. ²¹ But how he now sees, we do not know; or who opened his eyes, we do not know. He is of age, ask him. He will speak about himself. ²² His parents said these things because they feared the Jews; for the Jews had already agreed that if anyone should confess Him as Christ, he would be expelled from the synagogue.
