The Fourfold Gospel
These things said his parents, because they feared the Jews1: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man should confess him [to be] Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue2.- These things said his parents, because they feared the Jews. The parents, having heard the unrestrained, freely spoken account given by
their son as to his healing, had no doubt in their own minds as to who
effected that healing. They therefore declined to speak because of
fear, and no through lack of knowledge.

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible
Ver. 23,24. They were not able to obtain their design from the parents of this poor man; now they again call him, and advise him to give glory to God. Thus far they spake well, if they had been hearty and serious in what they said; for the man indeed had great reason to give God the glory, by whose power alone, exerted by his Son Christ Jesus, he had received his sight: but moral actions are made good or bad by their ends; and if we consider the end of these wretched men in this action of theirs, wherein they persuaded the poor man to his duty, the words will appear to have been spoken from hearts minding nothing less than the glory of God, and out of a design to vilify and depreciate his Son; whereas God hath set up his rest in his Son, and cannot be glorified but with, in, and through him; whom in the next words they maliciously defame, not only speaking of him contemptuously, calling him
this man, but affirm him amartwlov, not
a sinner only, but a notorious, scandalous sinner, as that word imports.
