About this episode

This episode discusses Jesus healing a man born blind and the subsequent reactions from his neighbors and the Pharisees.

Jesus performs the sixth of seven signs recorded in John’s gospel by healing a man who was born blind. The disciples assumed that his blindness must have been attributed to sinfulness; in other words, someone must have acted sinfully, or else God would not have punished him so. Jesus dispels this assumption, simply saying that he is blind so that God’s works might be displayed in him. Once he is healed, his neighbors notice and are confused about how something so miraculous could have happened. They take him to the Pharisees, and he testifies before them, calling out the foolishness of their conclusions as he does so. As a result they throw him out, but Jesus seeks him out and reassures him.
