Contextual Overview

¹³ They brought the man who used to be blind to the Pharisees. ¹⁴ (Now the day on which Jesus made the mud and caused him to see was a Sabbath.) ¹⁵ So the Pharisees asked him again how he had gained his sight. He replied, "He put mud on my eyes and I washed, and now I am able to see." ¹⁶ Then some of the Pharisees began to say, "This man is not from God, because he does not observe the Sabbath." But others said, "How can a man who is a sinner perform such miraculous signs?" Thus there was a division among them. ¹⁷ So again they asked the man who used to be blind, "What do you say about him, since he caused you to see?" "He is a prophet," the man replied. ¹⁸ Now the Jewish religious leaders refused to believe that he had really been blind and had gained his sight until at last they summoned the parents of the man who had become able to see. ¹⁹ They asked the parents, "Is this your son, whom you say was born blind? Then how does he now see?" ²⁰ So his parents replied, "We know that this is our son and that he was born blind. ²¹ But we do not know how he is now able to see, nor do we know who caused him to see. Ask him, he is a mature adult. He will speak for himself." ²² (His parents said these things because they were afraid of the Jewish religious leaders. For the Jewish leaders had already agreed that anyone who confessed Jesus to be the Christ would be put out of the synagogue.
