Commentary on John 9:2
'And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?' The disciples assume suffering results from specific sin—either the man's (possibly prenatal sin) or his parents'. This reflects common but faulty theology. While sin brought suffering into the world, individual suffering doesn't always trace to individual sin. Job's friends made this error; Jesus corrects it here.
