Jesus Heals a Blind Man

One day while Jesus was walking with His disciples, they saw a man who had been blind from birth. The disciples asked if he was blind because he had sinned or because his parents had sinned. John 9:1–2

The Savior said that neither the man nor his parents had sinned, but that the man was blind so Jesus could heal him. Then people could see God’s power. John 9:3–5

Jesus made clay out of the dirt and put it on the blind man’s eyes. Then He told the man to wash his eyes. John 9:6–7

As soon as the man washed the clay from his eyes, he could see! John 9:7

When his neighbors saw him, they were not sure who he was. Then they wondered how he had been healed. The man told them who he was and how Jesus had healed him. John 9:8–11

Next, the man told the Pharisees that Jesus had healed him. Some of them thought Jesus must be a righteous man. Some of them thought He was a sinner. When the man said Jesus was righteous, they were angry and threw the man out. John 9:13–16, 28–34

Jesus found the man and asked him if he had faith. The man said yes, and he worshiped Jesus. John 9:35–38
