οὖν
therefore
Therefore here indicates that what follows is the result of what the man said about Jesus in the previous verse. Because the formerly blind man believed Jesus was a prophet, the Jews who opposed Jesus refused to believe that the man had really been blind. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: “Since the man said that Jesus was a prophet”

οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι
the Jews
Here, the Jews refers to the Jewish leaders, which in this chapter may have been a group of leaders among the Pharisees. See how you translated this term in 1:19.
9:18 The Pharisees wanted to discount the miracle and hoped the man’s parents would deny the healing.
OET (OET-LV) Therefore the Youdaiōns not believed him concerning that he_was blind and received_sight, until they_called the parents of_him of_which which having_received_sight.
