Yochanan 9:20-22

Orthodox Jewish Bible

²⁰ In reply, therefore, his horim said, We have da’as that this man is the ben of us and that he was born ivver,

²¹ But how he sees now we do not have da’as nor do we have da’as of who opened his eyes. Interrogate him. He’s had his Bar Mitzvah (T.N. i.e., he is of age). He will speak for himself.

²² His horim said these things, because they were fearing those of Yehudah, for already those of Yehudah had agreed that if any person made hoda’ah (confession) of him to be the Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, that person would be put under cherem ban from the shul.
