Title: Graceful Jesus / John 9:13-25
They brought a man who had been blind before and went to the Pharisees. The day that Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes was a sabbath. Therefore, the Pharisees also asked how he was able to see, and he said, "The man put clay on my eyes, and I wash and look. It was said among the Pharisees, or they said, "This man does not keep the Sabbath, and he does not come from God." Or, they said, "How can a sinner perform these signs?" A dispute arose among the Pharisees. What kind of person do you say he is? He answered, “He is a prophet.” The Jews did not believe that he was blind and saw him, but called his parents and asked, “Is this your son, who you say was born blind? He answered and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind.
But we do not know what it is now, or who opened his eyes. Ask him, and he will speak of himself, now that he is grown up. His parents have said this, the Jews have already said that anyone who confesses that Jesus is the Christ must go out of school. Because they were afraid of them, because they were determined, their parents said, "Ask him, now that he is a man." So they called the blind man a second time and said, "Give glory to God, and we know that this man is a sinner." I do not know whether he is a sinner, but one thing I know is that I was blind and now see (John 9:13-25)
