John 9:22 in Context — John 9

20 Respondiéronles sus padres y dijeron: Sabemos que éste es nuestro hijo, y que nació ciego:

21 Mas cómo vea ahora, no sabemos; ó quién le haya abierto los ojos, nosotros no lo sabemos; él tiene edad, preguntadle á él; él hablará de sí.

22 Esto dijeron sus padres, porque tenían miedo de los Judíos: porque ya los Judíos habían resuelto que si alguno confesase ser él el Mesías, fuese fuera de la sinagoga.

23 Por eso dijeron sus padres: Edad tiene, preguntadle á él.

24 Así que, volvieron á llamar al hombre que había sido ciego, y dijéronle: Da gloria á Dios: nosotros sabemos que este hombre es pecador.
