  • Jesus heals the blind man in the Gospel of John, chapter 9.
    But what does Jesus healing the blind man disclose to us about how first century Jewish viewed chronic illnesses, for his disciples asked whose sin cause this illness -- the blind man's or his parents.
    Jesus, tells his disciples that God allowed him to be ill so that God can perform something greater through him.
    And, when Jesus heals the blind man, he doesn't just speak and the man is healed but he uses his own spit and dirt. Why?
    Check out this video with Dr. Brant Pitre to learn more about this famous miraculous story.

      Well said! I’m publishing a weekly RUclips video on episodes from the life of Don Bosco, entitled ST JOHN BOSCO by JOE ZAMMIT. In this series I’m narrating events and miracles from the splendid life of Don Bosco. St John Bosco used to perform a miracle almost every day, through the intercession of Mary Help of Christians. From the lives of saints we can learn how to love God more and draw closer to him. Thank you...

      @@AveChristusRex this is not the right Interpretation, Jesus was not acting like God, when he did this. Was he gonna create a human in this man's eyes? Sounds stupid.
      Adam was made from dust in Genesis. Not Saliva.
      Jesus placed saliva on dirt, because dirt or earth represents the earthly meaning of scripture, and Jesus's spit resembles his truth and words, mix them together with dirt they are the words of Jesus in the Bible, now when he healed this blind man, he could clearly see that he was just a prophet.
      Because all of you Christians worship this invented man as the false Messiah, the Man you were warned not to worship in these end times.

    I love the revelation that John is speaking of Judeans cf Nazarenes, the tension that exists all over the world between the language, belief & culture (a sad competition) between capital & provincial cities, between capital cities of different (greater & lesser) states, nations and empires. A condescension from the ones ‘more educated’ who believe they ‘see’, who won’t be learning any time soon from anyone expressing anything outside of their own ‘lofty perceptions’. Thank you, Dr Pitre. Your knowledge of languages brings revelations we all seek.

    This passage continues the study of communication in John 4 : Jesus' conversation with the Samaritan woman.
    In order for the discussion to succeed, there are conditions:
    • Not blaming each other, not looking for the guilty.
    (Who is guilty? His mother? His father? Or he himself who was born blind?)
    • But look for the best solution that suits God's will to overcome it (God's glory must be revealed for this person)
    Communication will not succeed (fail) if
    • there's no trust each other,
    • or want to defend your own mind, like the Pharisees when talking to the blind healed.
    • Or if there is fear so people don't dare to be honest. Like the blind parents who were called as witnesses, they did not dare to tell the truth because they were afraid of the Pharisees.
    Then the discussion failed, the Pharisees did not change their mind that the guy was true who were blind from birth.
    The Pharisess did not understand that Jesus who healed him on the Sabbath was not breaking the Sabbath law but was demonstrating that He was the God who created humans from clay.
    For me, the Scriptures not only teach true faith in Jesus, the way of life in Jesus, but also teach the way of life in this world.
    Hopefully it is useful,
    Regards.

      Noun: Judea, a Roman province.
      John 7:1
      1After these things Jesus walked in Galilee; for He did not want to walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill Him
      There is no malice towards Jews, or Judeans in the Bible. The race of the Jews was the stock of the early Church.
      The anti-christ spirit of SOME people in Judea had malice, even unto death for Christ. They were not the inheritors of the religion of the Jews. The faithful Jews converted.

    Great evidence that reincarnation was an element of early Christianity - later to be removed by worldly men who thought they knew better. The disciples obviously believed that humans paid for sins from past lives through suffering in the next. Jesus did not reprimand them for believing so - nor did He condemn such a belief as giving any offence to God. All He did in this instance was to say that the blind man's affliction was not due to sin but hinted that the man had volunteered to be born blind for the express purpose of having Jesus demonstrate His power of healing.

    The early Christians new the secret (as long as it is day we can do the works of him). Jesus tells us that the night is coming (when no one can work) the secret will be lost (early Christians (Saints) who understood the teachings of Jesus were killed as heretics). We went from Jesus Christ to Christ Jesus.
    Why did Jesus mix the spit with dirt ? Well the word (spit which is essentially water) has been mixed with earthly teaching (dirt clay) by man and the Churches for the last 2000 years (Christian age).The night. Jesus said go and wash the mud (mix of the word and earthly teaching) out of your eyes in the pool of Siloam (meaning sent). The water again in the pool as the spit did represents the word So Jesus is sending us a message across time that our spiritual eye will be able to see when we wash away the mix of the word and earthly teaching with the word (water) that will be sent ( Siloam) in the future. What word in the future ? The Nag Hamandi finds, dead sea scrolls finds (all his word Gospel of Thomas, Epistle of Barnabas Book of Enoch and many many more they are all God's word). They were hidden from us and destroyed by the early takeover of the Church . When will this happen ? On God's Sabbath the start of the Seventh day. We know that a day is a thousand years from chapter 15 of the Epistle of Barnabas. We have the times (Judaeism) 4000 years, the time (Christian age) 2000 years and the half time (God's Sabbath) 1000 years. We are at the beginning of the 7th day (6000 year mark). It is no coincidence that all these books have turned up and been translated for us only recently. As we find the Christ level again through the Gospel Of Thomas we move back from Christ Jesus to the Lord (reign) Jesus Christ. The secret has always been there hidden in front of us that the (word) physical (earthly) is pregnant with the spiritual (heavenly) meaning. When you make the two one you will enter the kingdom.

    Wrong Interpretation, missed a big part of this story, after the blind man was healed he said Jesus is a prophet (not a god) in this passage. Just because he worshiped him does not make him a god, i mean a man can worship a woman's body, doesn't make it a god.
