UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / pastforfuture

λέγουσιν

˱they˲_/are/_saying

Here John uses the present tense in past narration in order to call attention to a development in the story.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὅτι ἠνέῳξέν σου τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς

because ˱he˲_opened_up ˱of˲_you the eyes

Because the next verse indicates that the Pharisees did not believe that the man used to be blind, here, since does not mean that they thought the man had really been healed. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: [since you claim that he opened your eyes]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ἠνέῳξέν σου τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς

˱he˲_opened_up ˱of˲_you the eyes

Here, he opened your eyes describes the newly gained ability to see by referring to something associated with vision coming into action, specifically, the eyes. See how you translated a similar phrase in 9:14. Alternate translation: [he caused you to see]
