John 9:21 in Context — John 9

19 Et ils les interrogèrent, disant: Est-ce là votre fils, que vous dites être né aveugle? Comment donc voit-il maintenant?

20 Ses parents répondirent: Nous savons que c’est notre fils, et qu’il est né aveugle;

21 mais comment il voit maintenant, ou qui lui a ouvert les yeux, c’est ce que nous ne savons. Interrogez-le lui-même, il a de l’âge, il parlera de ce qui le concerne.

22 Ses parents dirent cela parce qu’ils craignaient les Juifs; car les Juifs étaient déjà convenus que, si quelqu’un reconnaissait Jésus pour le Christ, il serait exclu de la synagogue.

23 C’est pourquoi ses parents dirent: Il a de l’âge, interrogez-le lui-même.
