SUMMARY OF JOHN 9:24-34
The Pharisees keep trying to trap the blind man, but the blind man refuses, staunchly defending Jesus. He tells them that it is obvious that Jesus is from God, or how could he heal him? They threw him out, not able to tolerate their hypocrisy and the man’s truth being told them.

9) They tried to put words in the man’s mouth by telling him to say that Jesus is a sinner.

There is no argument against actions. Jesus healed. That was all that mattered.
Our experience of God’s goodness in our lives strengthens our faith.
The blind man pushed back on the Pharisees’ arguments that did not make sense. He does not understand how they don’t believe in Jesus with all of the physical evidence.
God chooses whether to hear sinners or not. Isaiah 1:15 and Psalm 66:18 In line with God’s character, He probably does.
The Pharisees were angry that the blind man was right. The blind man was excommunicated, yet, he had a heart for Jesus, and that’s all that matters.
