OET (OET-LV) Therefore they_said to_him:
What he_did to_you?
How he_opened_up the eyes of_you?

OET (OET-RV) “What did he do to you?” they asked again. “How did he open your eyes?”

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 9:13–34: The Pharisees investigated the blind man’s healing

This section tells that Jesus healed the blind man on the Jewish rest day, the Sabbath. The Pharisees thought that healing people was work and so they did not allow it on the Sabbath.

They questioned the man about how he received his sight. They refused to believe that he was born blind and called his parents to come to identify him. Then they told the man that Jesus must be a sinner because he had worked on the rest day. But the man said that Jesus must be a prophet of God. The Pharisees were so angry at this that they forced him to leave.

Here are some other examples for a heading for this section:

The Pharisees questioned the man born blind

The Pharisees believed that Jesus was a sinner because he healed on a Sabbath

The investigation of the healing

Paragraph 9:24–34

The Pharisees tried to frighten the man that Jesus had healed so that he would agree with them. They wanted him to say that he did not believe that Jesus was from God. But the man continued to defend Jesus. He also challenged them about why they did not see that God was working when Jesus healed him.

9:26a

“What did He do to you?” they asked.

What did He do to you?: The leaders wanted the man to tell them how Jesus had healed him. Perhaps they wondered if it could be considered as work and therefore forbidden on the Sabbath.

they asked: The Greek text more literally says “Therefore they said to him.” The Greek word that is usually translated “therefore” here indicates a development in the story. What the leaders said was a question, so this phrase can be translated to indicate this.

9:26b

“How did He open your eyes?”

How did He open your eyes?: This clause indicates that the religious leaders wanted the man to tell them how Jesus had made him able to see. The question does not imply that the man’s eyes were shut before, but that he was blind.

Here are other ways to translate this question:

How did he give you sight? (GW)

How did he cause you to see? (NET)

How did he heal your eyes? (CEV)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

πῶς ἤνοιξέν σου τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: εἶπον Οὖν αὐτῷ Τί ἐποίησεν σοί Πῶς ἤνοιξεν σοῦ τούς ὀφθαλμούς)

Here, open eyes describes the ability to see by referring to something associated with vision coming into action, specifically, the eyes. If it would be more natural in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [How did he cause you to see?]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

9:1-41 At the Festival of Shelters (chs 7–8), Jesus claimed to be the light of the world (8:12). Now John tells about Jesus giving light, both physically and spiritually, to a blind man who lived in darkness (see 9:5). The story ends with a splendid reversal of roles: The blind man who was assumed to be in spiritual darkness could see God’s light, whereas the Pharisees, who could see physically and were thought to be enlightened, were shown to be spiritually blind.

OET (OET-RV) “What did he do to you?” they asked again. “How did he open your eyes?”
