 {Who did sin?} (	is h(886d)arten;). Second aorist active
indicative of hamartan(935c). See  Ac 3:2  14:8  for two examples of
lameness from birth. Blindness is common in the Orient and Jesus
healed many cases (cf.  Mr 8:23  10:46 ) and mentions this fact
as one of the marks of the Messiah in the message to the Baptist
( Mt 11:5 ). This is the only example of congenital blindness
healed. It is not clear that the disciples expected Jesus to heal
this case. They are puzzled by the Jewish notion that sickness
was a penalty for sin. The Book of Job had shown that this was
not always the case and Jesus shows it also ( Lu 13:1-5 ). If
this man was guilty, it was due to prenatal sin on his part, a
curious notion surely. The other alternative charged it upon his
parents. That is sometimes true ( Ex 20:5 , etc.), but by no
means always. The rabbinical casuists loved to split hairs on
this problem. Ezekiel ( Eze 18:20 ) says: "The soul that sinneth
it shall die" (individual responsibility for sin committed).
There is something in heredity, but not everything. {That he
should be born blind} (hina tuphlos genn(8874)h(8869)). Probably
consecutive (or sub-final) use of hina with first aorist
passive subjunctive of genna(935c).
