Анализ евангельской истории о слепорожденном в контексте критики иудаизма

by Brian Shilhavy In John chapter 9 we have the incredible story of how Jesus healed a man born blind, and gave him eyesight for the first time in his life. It is a story that was not recorded in the other three historical records of the life of Jesus in the New Testament portion of the Bible. It is helpful, however, to understand the context of this story, and why John probably included it in his own historical record of the life of Jesus Christ. In the previous chapter, John chapter 8, Jesus clearly divided the Jewish believers of his day into two categories: those who truly knew God, whom Jesus always referred to as his “Father”, and therefore believed in and loved Jesus. The other category of Jewish believers were those who religiously followed the Law of Moses and other Old Testament writings, but did not know Jesus’s Father, and therefore rejected everything Jesus taught, because it threatened their power base and position in Israel. To these Jews, Jesus stated that their father was “the devil.” Jesus stated a very important principle about “language” and understanding between these two groups, especially when it came to the truth. Why is my language not clear to you? Because you are unable to hear what I say. You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. Yet because I tell the truth, you do not believe me! (John 8:43-45) When someone has believed something as true their whole lives, which in fact is not true, it becomes very difficult for them to change their minds and admit that what they held as true for so long is, in fact, not true, because it could have devastating consequences. It is much easier to accuse the person who is speaking the truth as the one who is lying, than to accept a truth that could totally disrupt your life. This was the situation with the Jewish believers during Jesus’s day. For example, the Law of Moses had very specific ways of dealing with illnesses, and only a priest could declare someone “clean” or “well.” So when Jesus appeared on the scene, who was not from the tribe of Levi whom the Levitical priests derived their authority from, and then started healing people outside of their system, it was a direct threat to their authority, and control over the people. What John then does in chapter 9, is illustrate this truth with the story of the man born blind. As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” “Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” said Jesus, “but this happened so that the work of God might be displayed in his life. As long as it is day, we must do the work of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work. While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” (John 9:1-5) The first thing Jesus does in this story is dispel a common myth believed in the Jewish religion at that time, that people born with disabilities must have been a result of someone’s sin. Jesus also referred to himself as “the light of the world.” Light chases away the darkness, so that things done in darkness can be plainly seen in the light, and therefore people can see the facts, or the truth, that the light exposes once the darkness is overcome. Now, on to the miracle. Having said this, he spit 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. (John 9:6-7) This was a unique miracle. Many of the miracles of healing that Jesus performed were done through speaking, or sometimes laying his hands on people. In this one, he spit into the dirt to make “mud.” This reminds us that according to the writings of Moses, specifically in the first book of the Bible, Genesis, that God formed man from the “dust/dirt of the earth.” The LORD God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being. (Genesis 2:7) There must have been some physical difficulties with this man’s eyes where the components we need in the physical realm to see were missing in him, since birth. Jesus apparently supplied whatever was missing that prevented him from seeing, by using dirt mixed with his own saliva. This unnamed man recorded in John chapter 9 simply followed Jesus’s instructions, and began to have sight for the first time in his life! Wouldn’t this be wonderful news for everyone who would learn about this? No. This man’s simple act of obedience to Jesus that resulted in him receiving his sight for the first time in his life, defied the medical authorities of his day, who then began to treat him as a criminal, and then excommunicated him from the religious community for daring to defy the religious authorities. Healing was not supposed to happen this way!! If the common people could get direct healing from Jesus themselves, what use was the current healthcare system currently in place, that was dependent upon religious and medical authorities? Let’s look at the people’s reaction to this miraculous event. 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 demanded. 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. They brought to the Pharisees the man who had been blind. (John 9:8-13) Notice how his neighbors and friends began a debate about whether or not this man had been born blind. Even when he spoke up for himself to declare he was the same man, they could not understand his language, just as Jesus had said in chapter 8, because the truth did not conform to their own understanding of a world run by Satan. So they brought him to the Pharisees, the authorities of the day, which would be the equivalent of reporting someone to the police/sheriff/ICE, etc. today. Let’s see how the religious and health authorities of that day dealt with the fact that a man born blind could now see. Now the day on which Jesus had made the mud and opened the man’s eyes was a Sabbath. Therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. “He put mud on my eyes,” the man replied, “and I washed, and now I see.” Some of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath.” But others asked, “How can a sinner do such miraculous signs?” So they were divided. (John 9:14-16) Notice how, just like this man’s neighbors and friends, the religious and health authorities could not understand what this man was saying about his own experience. It didn’t make any sense to them. Their “logic” went something like this: Someone who breaks the Sabbath (according to their interpretations/opinions about how one keeps the Sabbath) is a sinner. Therefore, this man could not have been healed by a sinner. So they questioned him again in their dazed and confused state, and this time ordered that his parents also appear before their judicial review. Finally they turned again to the blind man, “What have you to say about him? It was your eyes he opened.” The man replied, “He is a prophet.” The Jews still did not believe that he had been blind and had received his sight until they sent for the man’s parents. “Is this your son?” they asked. “Is this the one you say was born blind? How is it that now he can see?” “We know he is our son,” the parents answered, “and we know he was born blind. But how he can see now, or who opened his eyes, we don’t know. Ask him. He is of age; he will speak for himself.” His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews, for already the Jews had decided that anyone who acknowledged that Jesus was the Messiah would be put out of the synagogue. That was why his parents said, “He is of age; ask him.” (John 9:17-23) Imagine what this poor man was going through, simply because Jesus healed him! He was being treated as a criminal! His own parents abandoned him, because they did not want to get kicked out of their church/synagogue. They feared the religious and health authorities so much that they abandoned their son and let him fend for himself. And their fears were confirmed, because their son was excommunicated from the church, for daring to the tell the truth. Whatever social and medical benefits he might have been receiving by being a member of the Jewish religious community, he now lost. But receiving his sight obviously held some value for him, so he dared to speak up and confront the hypocrisy of the religious and health authorities, and was then punished for it. A second time they summoned the man who had been blind. “Give glory to God,” they said. “We know this man is a sinner.” He replied, “Whether he is a sinner or not, I don’t know. One thing I do know. I was blind but now I see!” Then they asked him, “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?” He answered, “I have told you already and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you want to become his disciples, too?” Then they hurled insults at him and said, “You are this fellow’s disciple! We are disciples of Moses! We know that God spoke to Moses, but as for this fellow, we don’t even know where he comes from.” The man answered, “Now that is remarkable! You don’t know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes. We know that God does not listen to sinners. He listens to the godly man who does his will. Nobody has ever heard of opening the eyes of a man born blind. If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.” To this they replied, “You were steeped in sin at birth; how dare you lecture us!” And they threw him out (of the synagogue). (John 9:24-34) The man who had an encounter with Jesus that resulted in him receiving his eye sight, was declared GUILTY of sinning, and excommunicated from the church. Are things any different today? No, they are not. The times and the names of the religious and medical authorities have changed, but people who encounter Jesus and receive healing from him directly are still being kicked out of the religious communities. We all witnessed it during the COVID Scam. Church members all across the world were told to put a face mask on, practice social distancing, and get Trump’s COVID-19 “vaccine” to comply with the Operation Warp Speed military campaign. If you didn’t comply with these edicts, you could not be part of the religious community anymore. Nothing has changed. The churches, synagogues, and pretty much every other kind of religious organization serve Satan’s world system, and if you dare to not comply, you will be excommunicated, and possibly even thrown in jail. The medical system today is a disease management system that does not bring true healing, which is only available through Jesus Christ. They speak the language of Satan, not Jesus, because to do so would put them out of business. The medical doctors today practicing pharmakeia, which is the Greek word used in the Bible that is typically translated with English words such as “witchcraft” or “sorcery”, are the new “priests” of today. The medical system is the largest business in the word, and they will attack anyone who does not bow down and worship them.
