'Parents' in the Bible

His disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that caused him to be born blind?"

Jesus answered, "Neither this man nor his parents sinned. This happened so that God's work might be revealed in him.

The Jewish leaders did not believe that the man had been blind and had gained sight until they summoned his parents

His parents replied, "We know that this is our son and that he was born blind.

His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jewish leaders, since the Jewish leaders had already agreed that anyone who acknowledged that Jesus was the Messiah would be thrown out of the synagogue.

That's why his parents said, "He is of age. Ask him."
