But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight.

Close to the original. Clear modern English.

But when the Pharisees saw what was happening, they called Jesus out: 'Look, your followers are doing stuff that's totally against the rules on the Sabbath.'

Then this man named Jairus showed up — he was actually a leader at the synagogue. He literally threw himself down at Jesus' feet and begged him to please come to his house.

Watch out for these religious leaders who love showing off in their fancy robes, soaking up attention when people recognize them in public, claiming the best seats at church, and making sure they get the head table at every dinner party.
