SUMMARY OF JOHN 9:1-12
Jesus healed a blind man who had been blind since birth. He did so by spitting on the ground, making mud, and rubbing it in the man’s eyes. When the man washed in the Pool of Siloam, he could see. The man was blind so that the works of God could be seen in him.

End Notes BSF Study Questions John’s Gospel: The Truth Lesson 13, Day 2: John 9:1-12
The disciples did not seek to help the blind man; only to talk about him.
Many people believed then and some do now that suffering is because of a sin they’ve committed. Instead, it’s for God’s glory.
Jesus’ unconventional healing here harkened back to creation and how God used dust and clay for His works and it shows that the method of healing does not matter; only God’s power does.
The man had to go to the pool to take action to show he had faith in Jesus’ words.
Fun Fact: This is the first recording in the Bible of a man born blind was given sight. Only God does this (Psalm 146:8); therefore, Jesus is God, the Messiah (Isaiah 35:5)
The healing was hard to believe.
