Contextual Overview

¹³ They bring to the Pharisees him that previously was blind. ¹⁴ Now it was the Sabbath on the day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes. ¹⁵ Again therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he received his sight. And he said to them, He put clay on my eyes, and I washed, and I see. ¹⁶ Some therefore of the Pharisees said, This man is not from God, because he doesn't keep the Sabbath. But others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such signs? And there was a division among them. ¹⁷ They say therefore to the blind man again, What do you say of him, in that he opened your eyes? And he said, He is a prophet. ¹⁸ The Jews therefore did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and had received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight, ¹⁹ and asked them, saying, Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then does he now see? ²⁰ His parents therefore answered and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind: ²¹ but how he now sees, we don't know; or who opened his eyes, we don't know: ask him; he is of age; he shall speak for himself. ²² These things his parents said, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man should confess him [to be] Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.
