When I debate all organizations that have attached themselves to Saint Francis, I will as question.
- Why were the pharisees so interested in Jesus healing a man born blind?
- Did they investigate the hundreds of other healings Jesus performed?
Bonus question: Isn’t the Republican Party of Jesus obligated to open our Democracy, and debate the cuts to Medicaid – because this is what Jesus wants them to do.
John ‘The Nazarite’
AI Overview
The exact number of people Jesus healed is unknown, but biblical accounts suggest he healed thousands, if not tens of thousands, throughout his ministry. The Gospels record many specific instances, such as healing Peter’s mother-in-law, the centurion’s servant, and the widow of Nain’s son, but also describe large crowds being healed at once. The Bible states he healed “all” who came to him on many occasions, indicating the true number is likely far greater than the individual cases listed.
- Specific accounts: The New Testament details numerous individual healing miracles, like the healing of a nobleman’s son, a woman with a chronic blood disease, and a man born blind.
- Mass healings: There are instances where Jesus healed large groups of people at once, such as when he healed “all who had people sick with various diseases” in one evening, which suggests a vast number.
- The real number: The gospel of John suggests that if all of Jesus’s deeds were recorded, the books would not be able to contain them, reinforcing that the total number of people he healed is unknown and likely very large.
The Pharisees Investigate the Healing
13 They brought to the Pharisees the man who had been blind. 14 Now the day on which Jesus had made the mud and opened the man’s eyes was a Sabbath. 15 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.”
16 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 perform such signs?” So they were divided.
17 Then 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.”
18 They still did not believe that he had been blind and had received his sight until they sent for the man’s parents. 19 “Is this your son?” they asked. “Is this the one you say was born blind? How is it that now he can see?”
20 “We know he is our son,” the parents answered, “and we know he was born blind. 21 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.” 22 His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jewish leaders, who already had decided that anyone who acknowledged that Jesus was the Messiah would be put out of the synagogue. 23 That was why his parents said, “He is of age; ask him.”
24 A second time they summoned the man who had been blind. “Give glory to God by telling the truth,” they said. “We know this man is a sinner.”
25 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!”
26 Then they asked him, “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?”
27 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?”
28 Then they hurled insults at him and said, “You are this fellow’s disciple! We are disciples of Moses! 29 We know that God spoke to Moses, but as for this fellow, we don’t even know where he comes from.”
30 The man answered, “Now that is remarkable! You don’t know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes. 31 We know that God does not listen to sinners. He listens to the godly person who does his will. 32 Nobody has ever heard of opening the eyes of a man born blind. 33 If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.”
34 To this they replied, “You were steeped in sin at birth; how dare you lecture us!” And they threw him out.
