|He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight.
|He answered, "A man named Jesus made clay, and anointed my eyes, and told me, 'Go to the lake of Siloam and clean yourself, and I went there, cleaned myself, and regained sight."
|He answered, "A man named Jesus made clay, and rubbed it on my eyes, and told me, 'Go to the pool of Siloam and wash this off,' and I went there, washed it off, and regained sight."

|Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he keepeth not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them.
|Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he keepeth not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them.
|
|This sparked a division among the Pharisees, because some of them said, "This man is not from God, because he does not strictly observe the Sabbath," while others said, "How can a sinful man do such miracles?"

|But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight.
|But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight.
|
|But the Jews refused to believe that he had been blind and his sight was restored until his parents could be called.

|And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then doth he now see?
|And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then doth he now see?
|
|Then they questioned his parents, asking, "Is this your son, whom you claim was born blind? Then how can he see?"

|His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind:
|His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind:
|
|Then his parents responded, "We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind.

|But by what means he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he shall speak for himself.
|But by what means he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he shall speak for himself.
|
|However, we have no idea how he can now see, nor who restored his sight. Ask him. He's an adult. He can speak for himself."

|These words spake his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man did confess that he was Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.
|These words spake his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man did confess that he was Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.
|
|His parents said these things because they feared the Jews. For the Jews had already decided that if anyone claimed Jesus was the Christ, he would be thrown out of the synagogue.

|Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him.
|Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him.
|
|So His parents said, "He's an adult. Ask him."
|
|In case anyone is wondering, the Greek really is inverted in verses 21 and 23. In verse 21, his parents were emphasizing that that the Jews should '''question their son''', and their reason comes second. John's analysis of their response in verses 22 and 23 flips their wording to place a little more emphasis on the excuse they were using ("'''he's an adult'''") to escape the questioning. So verse 21 is their actual response, while 22 and 23 is John's analysis of their motives and the means by which they pulled it off.

|Then again called they the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner.
|Then again called they the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner.
|
|So once again, they called the man who had been blind, and told him, "Give the glory to God. We have known that this man was a sinner for quite some time."
|
|The tense here is perfect, indicating present time, completed aspect, which usually indicates something that happened in the past, but has direct, present time application. The idea is that they known about Jesus being a sinner for a long time, so it is a foregone conclusion now. I have used "for quite some time" to translate the meaning of the tense.

|He answered and said, Whether he be a sinner or no, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.
|He answered and said, Whether he be a sinner or no, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.
|
|He responded, "I do not if he is or is not a sinner. This one thing I know: I was blind, now I see."

|Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eyes?
|Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eyes?
|
|So once again, they asked him, "What did he do to you? How did he restore your sight?"
