John 9:21

We know not. This was an untruth, or at least an evasion of the truth. They seem not to have been present at the time of the anointing of the man’s eyes or when he washed at the pool, and thus could not testify as eyewitnesses. But with their neighbors, they had heard of the cure and knew of the circumstances (see v. 22).

He is of age. The Jews counted maturity from 13 years and one day in the case of boys and one year earlier for girls. The healed man was thus more than 13 years old, but how much older is a matter of conjecture. In v. 1 he is identified simply as a “man” (Gr. anthropos), a member of the human family.
