The Blind and the Seeing

In the beginning of this narrative, we saw the chief personalities in the account were the Lord Jesus and the blind man. At verse 13 there appears a whole new cast of characters. Suddenly the Jews/Pharisees arrive on the scene. Their purpose is to do anything they can to discredit the miracle. Can the Lord Jesus cause a person who was blind to see? When we come to verse 24 the focus moves from these spiritually blind souls to the one who now can see.

Why did John record the discussion after this miracle? He recorded it to teach us verse 39. "Jesus said, 'For judgment I came into this world, that those who do not see may see, and those who see may become blind.'"
