11“The man whom they call Jesus,” he answered, “made clay, and anointed my eyes, and said to me ‘Go to Siloam and wash your eyes.’ So I went and washed my eyes, and gained my sight.”
12“Where is he?” they asked. “I do not know,” he answered.
13They took the man, who had been blind, to the Pharisees.
14Now it was a Sabbath when Jesus made the clay and gave him his sight.
15So the Pharisees also questioned the man as to how he had gained his sight. “He put clay on my eyes,” he answered, “and I washed them, and I can see.”
16“The man cannot be from God,” said some of the Pharisees, “for he does not keep the Sabbath.” “How is it possible,” retorted others, “for a bad man to give signs like this?”
17So there was a difference of opinion amongst them, and they again questioned the man; “What do you yourself say about him, for it is to you that he has given sight?”
18The religious authorities, however, refused to believe that he had been blind and had gained his sight, until they had called his parents and questioned them.
19“Is this your son,” they asked, “who you say was born blind? If so, how is it that he can see now?”
20“We know that this is our son,” answered the parents, “and that he was born blind;
21but how it is that he can see now we do not know; nor do we know who it was that gave him his sight. Ask him — he is old enough — he will tell you about himself.”
22His parents spoke in this way because they were afraid of the authorities; for the authorities had already agreed that, if anyone should acknowledge Jesus as the Christ, he should be expelled from their synagogues.
23This was why his parents said ‘He is old enough; ask him.’
