John 9:1

"John."

Key Reflection

In John 9:1, Jesus encounters a man who has been blind from birth. This scene is set against the backdrop of Jesus' ministry in Jerusalem, just prior to his passion week. The verse itself doesn't delve into the man's condition or Jesus' immediate actions; rather, it introduces us to the character and sets the stage for what would become a profound narrative about divine intervention and faith.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Verse 1. As Jesus passed by. As he was leaving the temple, Joh 8:59. This man was in the way in which Jesus was going to escape from the Jews. __________________________________________________________________
