‏ John 9:1

Jesus Heals a Man Born Blind

This section tells the story of Jesus healing a man who had been blind from birth. The miracle leads to questions from the disciples, the amazement of the people, and the anger of the Pharisees. Through this event, Jesus shows his power, corrects misunderstandings about suffering, and teaches spiritual lessons about light, sin, and faith.

v. 1: As Jesus walked along, he saw a man who had been blind from birth (John 9:1 a). This man had never seen the world or the people around him. His condition was well known, so people could not doubt the reality of the miracle that was about to happen. Jesus noticed him, even though others may have passed him by. This shows Jesus’ compassion and attention to those in need.
