His parents answered and. said, We know that thtts is our son, 'arid' that he was born blind: but how he •nowseeth,'.we know• - not; or who evened ;his eyes, we know not: ask him; he is of age; he shall speak for himself." How stubborn the human'' heart can be 'I' when. it is..deterFnined that, rio matter.' :hew- great the evidence, it will not recognize Jesus to. be . the Son of 'God: "These things said his parents, because they feared. the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already;`that if ally 'Man should confess him to be Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue. Therefore• said his! parents, He is of age; , ask him.":.

He therefore answered wh•ther' ' he is a sinner, I know ' not:: ,one selling I know;. that; Whereas.I Was blind, now I -see." The. phrase `Give glory', to God'.. is- a solemn charge to. declare the whole truth: "They said, therefore unto What ' did he unto thee? how op- ened he thine eyes? :He answered them, I told you even now,, and ye -did not hear; wherefore .would ye hear it - again ? would -ye also 'become 'his. disciples?"
