An ApplicationWe see the paradigm clash in JN 9:2-3 & 16. This was neither the first nor the last of such clashes. A lot of what Jesus did was correct our paradigms. (It's better to correct our paradigms than to ask God to confirm them, ROM 3:4a.) / JN 9:9 & 18 are good examples of how miracles don't leave any physical proof. There was no proof besides people's memories that a man who could now see like normal had ever been blind (much less been blind his whole life). So don't expect it (proof).

Connect the DotsCompare JN 9:1 to JN 5:5. / There's no reason to believe a boy born blind would've received a good education in that time and place, which means he was a good example of Jesus's promise in MK 13:11, for a handicapped beggar would've been in no position to argue with (let alone win) and even antagonize the religious elite of the day (JN 9:31-33) without divine inspiration. / Compare JN 9:34 & 41 to TIT 1:16.
