    • His crime is working on the Sabbath v16
    • It’s obvious that a sinner could not do such miraculous signs v16
    • The Pharisees had already decided that Jesus wasn’t the Christ v22
    • They establish the truth of the miracle, it is undeniable v25
    • The Pharisees become more and more adamant that Jesus is a sinner v24, 29
  3. The blind man sees (aka the light shines in the darkness) v35-41
