    10They said therefore unto him, How then were thine eyes opened?

    11He answered, The man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to Siloam, and wash: so I went away and washed, and I received sight.

    19and asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? How then doth he now see?

    20His parents answered and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind:

    21but how he now seeth, we know not; or who opened his eyes, we know not: ask him; he is of age; he shall speak for himself.

    22These things said his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man should confess him [to be] Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.

    23Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him.

    24So they called a second time the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give glory to God: we know that this man is a sinner.

    25He therefore answered, Whether he is a sinner, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.

    26They said therefore unto him, What did he to thee? How opened he thine eyes?
