John 9:22
Wazazi wake walisema mambo haya, kwa sababu waliwaogopa Wayahudi. Kwa vile Wayahudi walikuwa wamekubaliana tayari kuwa, ikiwa yeyote atakiri kuwa Yesu ni Kristo, atatengwa na Sinagogi.

In context
19 Waliwauliza wazazi, Je, huyu ni mtoto wenu mnayesema alizaliwa kipofu? amewezaje sasa kuona?”
20 Hivyo wazazi wake wakamjibu, “Tunajua kuwa huyu ni mtoto wetu na kwamba alizaliwa kipofu.
21 Jinsi gani sasa anaona, hatujui, na yeye aliyemfumbua macho yake, hatumjui. Mwulizeni yeye. Ni mtu mzima. Anaweza kujieleza mwenyewe.”
22 Wazazi wake walisema mambo haya, kwa sababu waliwaogopa Wayahudi. Kwa vile Wayahudi walikuwa wamekubaliana tayari kuwa, ikiwa yeyote atakiri kuwa Yesu ni Kristo, atatengwa na Sinagogi.
23 Kwa sababu hii, wazazi wake walisema, “Ni mtu mzima, mwulizeni yeye.”
24 Kwa hiyo kwa mara ya pili, walimwita yule mtu aliyewahi kuwa kipofu na kumwambia, “Mpe Mungu utukufu. Tunajua kwamba mtu huyu ni mwenye dhambi.”
25 Ndipo yule mtu alijibu, “Awe ni mwenye dhambi, mimi sijui. Kitu kimoja ninachokijua: nilikuwa kipofu, na sasa ninaona.”
