John 9
The question in verse 2 was due to current beliefs in: (1) reincarnation; (2) heredity (Exodus 20:5); (3) sin of Adam; (4) a child in the womb could sin (cf. Jacob and Esau).

The condition of the blind man parallels our condition before we were saved:

1. Outside the temple, shut out from God
2. Blind, unable to see the Savior
3. Blind from birth—we were born in sin
4. Beyond human help
5. Beggar—salvation is not for sale; it is a gift

Notice the syllogistic method of arguing (verse 16): Major premise—all people from God keep the Sabbath; minor premise—Jesus does not keep the Sabbath; conclusion—Jesus is not from God.

The blind man knew he was blind, received the light that was given to him, believed, and was saved. The Pharisees did not admit their blindness—the Light revealed their blindness.
