'Parents' in the Bible

His disciples questioned Him: “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”

“Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” Jesus answered. “This came about so that God’s works might be displayed in him.

The Jews did not believe this about him—that he was blind and received sight—until they summoned the parents of the one who had received his sight.

“We know this is our son and that he was born blind,” his parents answered.

His parents said these things because they were afraid of the Jews, since the Jews had already agreed that if anyone confessed Him as Messiah, he would be banned from the synagogue.

This is why his parents said, “He’s of age; ask him.”
