41 · This verse (above)
To study John 9 in a group
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?
