Waverly Church of Christ

In the ninth chapter of John’s gospel, we encounter a miracle which stands out among all the recorded miracles which Jesus performed. It is the only miracle in the gospels in which the sufferer is said to have been afflicted from his birth. Another point which stands out concerning this miraculous healing is that it is the second of only two recorded miracles which Jesus performed in Jerusalem. All other miracles of healing which we find in the gospels occur outside the city walls of Jerusalem. So, what are we to make of John’s account here, involving a man who was blind from birth.
