Contextual Overview

¹³ This very man that had been blind, was at length brought to the Pharisees. ¹⁴ now it was the sabbath-day when Jesus made the clay, and gave him his sight. ¹⁵ the Pharisees therefore ask'd him likewise, how he had received his sight. he told them, he put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and now see. ¹⁶ thereupon some of the Pharisees said, this man has no divine mission, because he does not observe the sabbath. but said others, if he be an impostor, how can he do such miracles? and there was a schism among them. ¹⁷ they therefore question'd the blind man again, what do you say of the man that made you see? he is a prophet, said he. ¹⁸ but the Jews were so incredulous about his having been blind, and obtain'd sight, that they sent for his parents, ¹⁹ and ask'd them, is this your son, who you say was born blind? how came it then that he now sees? ²⁰ his parents answered, that this is our son, and that he was born blind: we are very certain. ²¹ but by what means it was that he now sees, that we know not; or who made him see, we know not: he is of age, ask him, he will answer for himself. ²² his parents said this, because they were afraid of the Jews: for the Jews had agreed in this, that if any man did own him for the Messias, he should be excommunicated.
