Jesus And Blind Man
The attempt to disprove the miracle was an utter failure and the court sought to discredit it by excommunicating the chief witness.
Jesus and blind man. 2 his disciples asked him rabbi who sinned this man or his parents that he was born blind 3 jesus answered it was not that this man sinned or his parents but that god s works might be revealed in connection with him. This judicial investigation shows by the testimony of both that the young man was born blind that he now saw and his own testimony was given that he was healed by jesus. Jesus leads the blind man outside the village possibly to avoid publicity.
9 as jesus was passing by he saw a man blind from birth. 36 when he heard the crowd going by he asked what was happening. The man said i see people.
4 as long as it is day we must do the works of him who sent me. This is also the first time that jesus is identified as a son of david. Go and tell an tell your story of jesus to someone.
35 as jesus approached jericho a blind man was sitting by the roadside begging. 25 after that he put his hands again upon his eyes and made him look up. Then jesus spit on the man s eyes and put his hands on him jesus then asked do you see anything this is a very important question because it indicates that jesus was intentionally making a point.
24 and he looked up and said i see men as trees walking. 9 as he went along he saw a man blind from birth. It was foretold that the messiah would come from the house of david but so far jesus lineage has not been mentioned at all mark is the gospel without any information about jesus family and birth.
2 his disciples asked him rabbi who sinned this man or his parents that he was born blind 3 neither this man nor his parents sinned said jesus but this happened so that the works of god might be displayed in him. And they bring a blind man unto him and besought him to touch him. 37 they told him jesus of nazareth is passing by 38 he called out jesus son of david have mercy on me 39 those who led the way rebuked him and told him to be quiet but he shouted all the more son of david have mercy on me.
Jesus heals a man born blind. They look like trees walking around. He wasn t even sure who jesus was but he knew that he had once been blind and now after jesus he could see.
A blind man sees. This blind man then is only the second to ever identify jesus as such and hes not exactly in good company. And when he had spit on his eyes and put his hands upon him he asked him if he saw ought.
The blind man had no problem excepting jesus for who he was. If you have encountered jesus if you believe the son of man then you have a testimony like the blind man. 22 and he cometh to bethsaida.
Frankly if it was one of us in that situation we probably would have asked if there was a cleaner less spit filled way of healing us.
