Living_Oracles⁽ⁱ⁾ ²² His parents spoke thus, because they fear the Jews: for the Jews had already determined, that whosoever acknowledged Jesus to be the Messiah, should be expelled from the synagogue. ²³ For this reason his parents said, He is of age, ask him. ²⁴ A second time, therefore, they called the man, who had been born blind, and said to him, Give glory to God; we know that this man is a sinner. ²⁵ He replied, Whether he be a sinner, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, I now see. ²⁶ They said to him again, What did he do to you? How did he make you see? ²⁷ He answered, I told you before; did you not hear? Why would you hear it repeated? Will you, also, be his disciples? ²⁸ They reviled him and said, You are his disciple. As for us, we are disciples of Moses.
