John 9:21
"His parents answered them, “We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;"
Key Reflection
The statement reflects both their acknowledgment of their child's condition and an implicit faith in divine purpose, suggesting they believe his blindness has a deeper spiritual significance that will be revealed as he grows. This also hints at the tension between their understanding and the villagers' skepticism or misunderstanding.
