'Parents' in the Bible

and his disciples asked him, saying, 'Rabbi, who did sin, this one or his parents, that he should be born blind?'

Jesus answered, 'Neither did this one sin nor his parents, but that the works of God may be manifested in him;

and he said -- 'He is a prophet.' The Jews, therefore, did not believe concerning him that he was blind and did receive sight, till that they called the parents of him who received sight,

His parents answered them and said, 'We have known that this is our son, and that he was born blind;

These things said his parents, because they were afraid of the Jews, for already had the Jews agreed together, that if any one may confess him -- Christ, he may be put out of the synagogue;

because of this his parents said -- 'He is of age, ask him.'
