Jesus performed the miracle of healing the man blind at birth as recorded in the Gospel of John, 9:1-12.〔(Biblegateway John 9:1-12 )〕 According to the Gospel, Jesus saw a man blind from birth. His disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?" Jesus replied:
Having said this, he spat on the ground, made some mud with the saliva, and put it on the man's eyes. "Go," he told him, "wash in the Pool of Siloam" (this word means "Sent"). So the man went and washed, and came home seeing. His neighbors and those who had formerly seen him begging asked, "Isn't this the same man who used to sit and beg?" Some claimed that he was. Others said, "No, he only looks like him." But he himself insisted, "I am the man." "How then were your eyes opened?" they asked. He replied, "The man they call Jesus made some mud and put it on my eyes. He told me to go to Siloam and wash. So I went and washed, and then I could see." "Where is this man?" they asked him. "I don't know," he said. In this miracle, Jesus applies the title Light of the World to himself in John 9:5, saying:〔Matera, Frank J. ''New Testament Christology.'' Louisville, Ky. : Westminster John Knox Press, 1999, 235.〕 :When I am in the world, I am the Light of the World. This episode leads into John 9:39 where Jesus metaphorically explains that he came to this world, so that the blind may see.〔 According to Christian tradition, the man's name was Celidonius. ==See also== * Life of Jesus in the New Testament * Ministry of Jesus * Parables of Jesus * Light of the World * Seven signs in the Gospel of John 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Healing the man blind from birth」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
