1. What it says
What does Jesus do to heal the man born blind, and what does he tell him to do? How does the man answer the Pharisees? (vv. 6-7, 24-34)
2. What it means
The disciples asked who had sinned, and Jesus answered something else (vv. 2-3). What does he want to show through this healing? (vv. 3-5, 39)
3. How I live it
The man said, “One thing I know: though I was blind, now I see” (v. 25). What can you say simply about what God has done in you?
