This is fascinating.
This teacher has uncovered a truth that I never saw before.

And the whole time I thought the miracle was that the blind man could find his own way to the pool of Siloam some 800 yards away.

Read the whole chapter and discover that he healed the blind man on the Sabbath. Jewish Sabbath laws forbade people from healing on the Sabbath above the shoulders, I believe. He was also breaking the Pharisees' rules against working on the Sabbath. Jesus deliberately broke their petty legalistic rules to challenge their legalism and to pave the way for them to send him to the cross.

Above the shoulders?

The Pharisees often had multiple rules.... So what you said is not surprising.



Thank you for sharing more info.
