John 9:20-22

New Catholic Bible

²⁰ His parents answered, “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 opened his eyes. Ask him. He is of age. He can speak for himself.”

²² His parents responded in this way because they were afraid of the Jews. For the Jews had already agreed that anyone who acknowledged Jesus to be the Christ would be put out of the synagogue.
