The religious authorities confront the now seeing man and attempt to get him to renounce Jesus. They insist that Jesus is a sinner since He worked on the Sabbath, but the healed man reacts to this and refuses to speak ill of Jesus. He reasoned, how could a sinner do such a miracle. The parents of the man are also grilled. Jesus, later sought the now seeing man out and, and spoke of the blindness of the religious authorities. Opposition to Jesus escalates.
