Read John 9.18-34. Scene 5, 18-23: The Jews and the parents. The Jews (Pharisees, 9.13-17) are synagogue authorities, so the parents, themselves Jews, are afraid of the Jews (compare 7.13). Nobody has mentioned the messiah. Being put out of the synagogue is a situation of the Johannine believers (see 9.35; 12.42; 16.2). Scene 6, 24-34: The Pharisees and the man: second interrogation. In verses 28-34: Disciples of Moses oppose disciples of Jesus and his unknown origin (compare 7.27-28; 8.14; 3.8). But God does not listen to sinners (Ps 34.15; 66.18; Isa 1.15; Prov 15.29. Third stage of faith: from God. the Jews assert the connection between sin and affliction (see 9.2-3) and cast the man out. Comments or Questions..
