"Whether he is a sinner or not, I don't know. One thing I do know, I was blind but now I see!"
This passage of scripture comes out of John chapter 9, and tells about Jesus freeing a man from blindness. In the beginning of the passage Jesus' disciples question Him about the reason for this mans handicap, basically asking what sin he or his parents committed to put him in such a state. In reply Jesus tells them that his condition is not his fault but a way for others to see the Glory of God. After this man was healed he proclaimed with gladness that "this man" (Jesus) had done a great work for his life. The Pharisees did not believe it was the Son of God who had healed the man, and the man did not realize His significance. As you continue reading Jesus and the man meet up once more and this man begs Jesus to share his identity. Jesus proclaims that He is the Living Son of God, as a result man falls on his knees and worships, without thinking twice. The people who had seen the miracle gave an eye whiteness account, therefore fulfilling the earlier words of Jesus, "that the work of God might be displayed in his life."
