9:12a

Where is He?: The people wanted to know where Jesus had gone. For example:

Where is he now? (New Living Translation (2004))
-or-
Where is that man? (NET Bible Bible)

they asked: The pronoun they refers to the neighbors and other people that were introduced in 9:8. What the people said was a question, so it may be natural to say:

they asked him

9:12b

“I do not know,” he answered: The healed man said he did not know where Jesus went. Place the quote introducer where it is natural in your language. For example:

He said, “I do not know.” (New Revised Standard Version)
