John Chapter 9, Verse 20
From BibleWiki
20: απεκριθησαν αυτοις οι γονεις αυτου και ειπον οιδαμεν οτι ουτος εστιν ο υιος ημων και οτι τυφλος εγεννηθη
20: His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our
son, and that he was born blind:
20: His parents answered them and said: We know that this is our son
and that he was born blind:
His parents answered, &c. To the first two questions they answered without hesitation. They knew that he was their son, and that he was born blind. The third question they could not positively answer, as they had not witnessed the means of the cure, and were afraid to express their belief. It appears that they had themselves no doubt, but they were not eye-witnesses, and could not be therefore legal evidence.
