16. Some of the Pharisees said, ‘This man is not from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath.’But others asked, ‘How can a sinner perform such signs?’ So they were divided.
17. Then they turned again to the blind man, ‘What have you to say about him? It was your eyes he opened.’The man replied, ‘He is a prophet.’
18. They still did not believe that he had been blind and had received his sight until they sent for the man’s parents.
19. ‘Is this your son?’ they asked. ‘Is this the one you say was born blind? How is it that now he can see?’
20. ‘We know he is our son,’ the parents answered, ‘and we know he was born blind.
21. But how he can see now, or who opened his eyes, we don’t know. Ask him. He is of age; he will speak for himself.’
