John 9:20-22

New International Reader's Version

²⁰ “We know he is our son,” the parents answered. “And we know he was born blind. ²¹ But we don’t know how he can now see. And we don’t know who opened his eyes. Ask him. He is an adult. He can speak for himself.” ²² His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jewish leaders. The leaders had already made this decision about Jesus. Anyone who said Jesus was the Messiah would be put out of the synagogue.
