65 Blind Since Birth, Blind No More

John 9:1-38, TBC Book Two, Chapter 65
Leaving the temple grounds and avoiding those who wanted to stone him, Jesus walked through Jerusalem with his disciples. They stopped when they saw a man who had been blind since birth. “Rabbi,” they said, “who sinned? Was it this man or his parents?”

“Neither,” Jesus said. “His blindness happened so that the work of God could be shown in his life.” Then Jesus picked up some clay, spit on it, and put the mud on the man’s eyes.

“Go now,” Jesus told him. “Wash this off in the Pool of Siloam.”

The man did as he was told, and he could see. When he returned home, his neighbors saw him coming and they said to one another, “Isn’t that the blind man, the beggar?”

“No,” others said. “That can’t be him. It’s just someone who looks like him.”

But the man turned to them and said, “Yes—I’m the one who was blind.”

“How were you healed?” they asked. . . .
