    21But by what means he now sees, we do not know; or who has opened his eyes, we do not know: he is of age; ask him: he will speak for himself.

    22These words his parents spoke, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man confessed that he was Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.

    23Therefore his parents said, He is of age; ask him.

    24Then again they called the man who was blind, and said to him, Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner.

    25He answered and said, Whether he is a sinner or not, I do not know: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.

    26Then they said to him again, What did he do to you? how did he open your eyes?
