‘They say therefore to the blind man again, “What do you say about him in view of the fact that he opened your eyes?” And he said, “He is a prophet”.'
They asked the man what he thought about this person who had opened his eyes. His reply was simple, ‘He is a prophet', a God sent and God empowered man. He knew that his eyes had been opened as he stood before these ‘blind' men and he revealed at least part of the truth. Ironically the man born blind was seeking to open the eyes of those who claimed to see.
