John 9:23 In-Context

21 but how he now sees we do not know, nor do we know who opened his eyes. Ask him; he is of age, he will speak for himself."

22 His parents said this because they feared the Jews, for the Jews had already agreed that if any one should confess him to be Christ, he was to be put out of the synagogue.

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

24 So for the second time they called the man who had been blind, and said to him, "Give God the praise; we know that this man is a sinner."

25 He answered, "Whether he is a sinner, I do not know; one thing I know, that though I was blind, now I see."
