They brought him to the Pharisees–the man who had been blind.
Now the High Priests and the Pharisees had issued orders that if any one knew where He was, he should give information, so that they might arrest Him.
The result was that the Pharisees said among themselves, »Observe how idle all your efforts are! The world is gone after him!«
Nevertheless even from among the Rulers many believed in Him. But because of the Pharisees they did not avow their belief, for fear they should be shut out from the synagogue.
»Where is he?« they inquired, but the man did not know.
Now the day on which Jesus made the clay and opened the man's eyes was the Sabbath.
