The Setup

So, we're in Jerusalem, and Jesus is out there doing what he does best—healing, teaching, and shaking up the status quo. By now, Jesus and his crew are the talk of the town, but not everyone is a fan. Enter the Pharisees, the religious bigwigs, who are basically the self-appointed gatekeepers of what's kosher and what's not.

Into this scene walks a man who has been blind since birth. Back in the day, people thought any misfortune like this was a direct result of sin—someone messed up, and now you're paying the price. But, Jesus is about to flip that narrative on its head.

As Jesus and his disciples stroll by, the disciples see the man and ask Jesus the burning question: who sinned, this guy or his parents, that he's blind? Jesus is about to blow their minds with his answer.
