John 9, why didn't Jesus rebuke the blind man?

Question

1
1 As he passed by he saw a man blind from birth.
2
2 His disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?"
3
Jesus answered, "Neither he nor his parents sinned; it is so that the works of God might be made visible through him.
4
We have to do the works of the one who sent me while it is day. Night is coming when no one can work.
5
While I am in the world, I am the light of the world."
6
When he had said this, he spat on the ground and made clay with the saliva, and smeared the clay on his eyes,
7
and said to him, "Go wash 3 in the Pool of Siloam" (which means Sent). So he went and washed, and came back able to see.
8
His neighbors and those who had seen him earlier as a beggar said, "Isn't this the one who used to sit and beg?"
9
Some said, "It is," but others said, "No, he just looks like him." He said, "I am."
10
So they said to him, "(So) how were your eyes opened?"
11
He replied, "The man called Je

Jesus made clay and anointed my eyes and told me, 'Go to Siloam and wash.' So I went there and washed and was able to see."
12
And they said to him, "Where is he?" He said, "I don't know."
13
They brought the one who was once blind to the Pharisees.
14
Now Jesus had made clay 4 and opened his eyes on a sabbath.
15
So then the Pharisees also asked him how he was able to see. He said to them, "He put clay on my eyes, and I washed, and now I can see."
16
So some of the Pharisees said, "This man is not from God, because he does not keep the sabbath." (But) others said, "How can a sinful man do such signs?" And there was a division among them.
17
So they said to the blind man again, "What do you have to say about him, since he opened your eyes?" He said, "He is a prophet."
18
Now the Jews did not believe that he had been blind and gained his sight until they summoned the parents of the one who had gained his sight.
19
They asked them, "Is this your son, who y

who you say was born blind? How does he now see?"
20
His parents answered and said, "We know that this is our son and that he was born blind.
21
We do not know how he sees now, nor do we know who opened his eyes. Ask him, he is of age; he can speak for him self."
22
5 His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews, for the Jews had already agreed that if anyone acknowledged him as the Messiah, he would be expelled from the synagogue.
23
For this reason his parents said, "He is of age; question him."
24
So a second time they called the man who had been blind and said to him, "Give God the praise! 6 We know that this man is a sinner."
25
He replied, "If he is a sinner, I do not know. One thing I do know is that I was blind and now I see."
26
So they said to him, "What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?"

He answered them, "I told you already and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you want to become his disciples, too?"
28
They ridiculed him and said, "You are that man's disciple; we are disciples of Moses!
29
We know that God spoke to Moses, but we do not know where this one is from."
30
The man answered and said to them, "This is what is so amazing, that you do not know where he is from, yet he opened my eyes.
31
We know that God does not listen to sinners, but if one is devout and does his will, he listens to him.
32
7 It is unheard of that anyone ever opened the eyes of a person born blind.
33
If this man were not from God, he would not be able to do anything."
34
They answered and said to him, "You were born totally in sin, and are you trying to teach us?" Then they threw him out.
35
When Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, he found him and said, "Do you believe in the Son of Man?"
36
He answered and said, "Who is he,

37
Jesus said to him, "You have seen him and the one speaking with you is he."
38
He said, "I do believe, Lord," and he WORSHIPPED him.
39
8 Then Jesus said, "I came into this world for judgment, so that those who do not see might see, and those who do see might become blind."
40
Some of the Pharisees who were with him heard this and said to him, "Surely we are not also blind, are we?"
41
Jesus said to them, "If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you are saying, 'We see,' so your sin remains.

Sorry, it's long, but look at the end. You have to read the whole thing to get to the quote. I'm cooky like that.

Answer 1

For the same reason Jesus didn't rebuke doubting Thomas when he worshipped Jesus and called Him "my Lord and my God". The same reason Jesus never rebuked anyone who worshipped Him. He was God in the flesh and thus worthy of worship.

Answer 2

There were several times when Jesus performed miracles and charged the person (s) not to tell anyone. - Matt 12:16, Luke 18:39, Matt 8:4, Mark 3:12

Even prior to the healing of the leper, Jesus’ ministry has been creating great excitement among the people. In fulfillment of Isaiah’s prophecy, Jesus now orders the healed man:

“See that you tell nobody a thing.” He then instructs him: “Go show yourself to the priest and offer in behalf of your cleansing the things Moses directed, for a witness to them.”

But the man is so happy that he cannot keep the miracle to himself. He goes off and begins spreading the news everywhere, apparently causing such interest and curiosity among the people that >>>>>>Jesus cannot openly go into a city.

Because of this, Jesus stays in lonely places where nobody lives, and people from all over come to listen to him and to be cured of their sicknesses.

He would have had to rebuke awhole lot more people than just the leper, don't you think?

Good Question!!!

Answer 3

Jesus made the blind man physically see but to the Pharisees he was talking about seeing spiritually. The Pharisees knew right from wrong and they did the wrong thing anyway, that's what Jesus meant by making those who see blind. When he spoke of making the blind see he meant the spiritually blind so they could see that they were living sinful lives so they could repent of their sins.

Answer 4

Jesus asked the guy "Do you think interior the Son of guy?" considering you may have self assurance in him while the blind guy settle for and he worshipped him interior the experience of a sparkling chanced on actuality that scripture became into to motivate us and tutor us that when you study the actuality and have self assurance in Jesus because of the fact the Son of guy then you placed that into action worship God with the aid of Jesus you won't manage to attain God basically with the aid of Jesus

Answer 5

Oh for crying out loud! Jesus healed a blind man and you're complaining! He said, he wasn't blind from a sin, and you want him to rebuke the blind man! Jesus healed him (not rebuked him) because he was a truly caring man, the Son of God.

Answer 6

the apostle Paul asked a similar question of Jesus.

when on the road to damascus God asked of him Saul,why do you persecute me? and Saul(Paul) answered with a question
"Lord, who are you? He knew it was God's voice,but had not been given the revelation of the identity of Jesus(the son of man)

Jesus of course responded with"I am Jesus whom you are persecuting".

Answer 7

Because divine love does not sin. If a man builds something nice, would he smash a little bit with a hammer as he was working on it?

Answer 8

He clearly didnt rebuke the blind man in the story, it said he "cured" him.

Answer 9

GOD does not always act in the logic and rationale of man.

Answer 10

You seriously have the WRONG format to just spam a chapter of the bible. It's why god made google.
