The Bible passage in John 9:1-10:21 tells the story of Jesus healing a man born blind and the subsequent controversy and conflicts it causes. The miracle takes place on the Sabbath, leading to division among the Pharisees and religious leaders who question the authority of Jesus. They question the blind man and his parents, accusing them of sin and violating the Sabbath.
In response, the man defends Jesus, leading to his expulsion from the synagogue. Jesus then proclaims himself as the Good Shepherd and speaks of the importance of faith in him. The story highlights the power of Jesus' healing and the challenges faced by those who believed in him in the face of religious opposition.
