13They took him before the Pharisees — this man who had been blind.
14Now the day on which the earth was mixed by Jesus and the man's eyes were made open was the Sabbath.
15So the Pharisees put more questions to him about how his eyes had been made open. And he said to them, He put earth on my eyes, and I had a wash and am able to see.
16Then some of the Pharisees said, That man has not come from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath. Others said, How is it possible for a sinner to do such signs? So there was a division among them.
17Again they said to the blind man, What have you to say about him for opening your eyes? And he said, He is a prophet.
18Now the Jews had no belief in the statement that he had been blind and was now able to see, till they sent for the father and mother of the man whose eyes had been made open,
19And put the question to them, saying, Is this your son, of whom you say that he was blind at birth? how is it then that he is now able to see?
20In answer his father and mother said, We are certain that this is our son and that he was blind at birth:
21But how it is he is now able to see, or who made his eyes open, we are not able to say: put the question to him; he is old enough to give an answer for himself.
22They said this because of their fear of the Jews: for the Jews had come to an agreement that if any man said that Jesus was the Christ he would be put out of the Synagogue.
23That was the reason why they said, He is old enough; put the question to him.
24So they sent a second time for the man who had been blind and they said to him, Give glory to God: it is clear to us that this man is a sinner.
25He said in answer, I have no knowledge if he is a sinner or not, but one thing I am certain about; I was blind, and now I see.
26Then they said to him, What did he do to you? how did he give you the use of your eyes?
27His answer was: I have said it before, but your ears were shut: why would you have me say it again? is it your desire to become his disciples?
