What does John 9:19 mean?

The parents of a man Jesus had healed are being questioned by religious authorities who are upset about the miracle. They're asking a pointed question: if your son was truly born blind, how is it possible he can see now? The authorities are trying to poke holes in the story, hoping the parents will either deny the healing happened or admit something fishy went on. It's a moment that shows how threatened some people felt by Jesus's power, so threatened that they'd rather interrogate witnesses than consider what they'd witnessed.
