John 9

John 9:13-34
The Pharisees Excommunicate the Healed Man

- v27 He answered them, “I told you already, and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you also want to become His disciples?”

- v30 The man answered and said to them, “Why, this is a marvelous thing, that you do not know where He is from; yet He has opened my eyes!"

Haha I love the sarcasm! Hahaha


John 9:35-41
True Vision and True Blindness

- v35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when He had found him, He said to him, “Do you believe in the Son of God?”


Notice that earlier in the chapter, in v22-23, it says:
- v22-23 His parents said these things because they feared the Jews, for the Jews had agreed already that if anyone confessed that He was Christ, he would be put out of the synagogue. Therefore his parents said, “He is of age; ask him.”

His parents chose to shift the responsibility to their son because they were afraid of declaring that Jesus was the Messiah. Their son stood up to the Pharisees and got excommunicated. And what happened to him? Jesus personally came to find him! WOAH!!!
