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 — the Pharisees bring the healed man back for further interrogation. 'Give God the praise'—this phrase may mean 'tell the truth before God' (an oath formula invoking God as witness) or 'give God credit for any cure' (implying Jesus played no role). They assert: 'we know that this man is a sinner'—they claim definitive knowledge that Jesus is a sinner (violating the Sabbath). The interrogation attempts to separate the healed man's allegiance from Jesus.
