John 9:21-23

Christian Standard Bible

²¹ “But we don’t know how he now sees, and we don’t know who opened his eyes. Ask him; he’s of age. He will speak for himself.” ²² His parents said these things because they were afraid of the Jews, since the Jews had already agreed that if anyone confessed him as the Messiah,^(A) he would be banned from the synagogue. ²³ This is why his parents said, “He’s of age; ask him.”
