Again the rabbis appealed to the blind man, "What sayest thou of Him, that He hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is a prophet." The Pharisees then asserted that he had not been born blind and received his sight. They called for his parents, and asked them, saying, "Is this your son, who ye say was born blind?"

Igen henvendte rabbinerne sig til den blinde: Hvad siger du selv om ham? Det er jo dine øjne, han har åbnet. Han svarede: Han er en profet. Nu hævdede farisæerne, at han ikke havde været født blind og derefter fået sit syn. De tilkaldte hans forældre og spurgte dem: Er han her jeres søn, som I påstår er født blind?
