Chapter Nine

John 9 tells the story of Jesus healing a man born blind, showing both His compassion and His power. As Jesus and His disciples pass by, the disciples ask if the man’s blindness was due to his sin or his parents’. Jesus answers that neither was to blame but that the man’s blindness was an opportunity to show God’s work. Jesus heals the man by making mud with His saliva, spreading it on the man’s eyes, and telling him to wash in the pool of Siloam. The man’s sight is restored, and the people are amazed. However, the religious leaders are skeptical and question the healed man, even accusing Jesus of being a sinner because He healed on the Sabbath. The man boldly declares that Jesus must be from God, but the leaders cast him out. Jesus later finds the man and reveals that He is the Son of Man, and the man believes and worships Him. The chapter highlights spiritual blindness and physical healing, showing that Jesus brings both light and sight, not just for the body, but for the soul.
