John Chapter 9, Verse 19
From BibleWiki
19: και ηρωτησαν αυτους λεγοντες ουτος εστιν ο υιος υμων ον υμεις λεγετε οτι τυφλος εγεννηθη πως ουν αρτι βλεπει
19: And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was
born blind? how then doth he now see?
19: And asked them, saying: Is this your son, who you say was born
blind? How then doth he now see?
Is this your son? &c. The Pharisees proposed three questions to the parents, by which they hoped to convict the man of falsehood.
1st. Whether he was their son?
2nd. Whether they would affirm that he was born blind? and,
3rd. Whether they knew by what means he now saw? They evidently intended to intimidate the parents, so that they might give an answer to one of these questions that would convict the man of deception. We see here the art to which men will resort rather than admit the truth. Had they been half as much disposed to believe on Jesus as they were to disbelieve, there would have been no difficulty in the case. And so with all men: were they as much inclined to embrace the truth as they are to reject it, there would soon be an end of cavils.
