Main Idea: Jesus must be Lord over religious tradition Key Verse: “So they said again to the blind man, ‘What do you say about Him, since He opened your eyes?’ He said, ‘He is a prophet.’” John 9:17 Bible reading: 13 They brought to the Pharisees the man who had formerly been blind. 14 Now it was a Sabbath day when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes. 15 So the Pharisees again asked him how he had received his sight. And he said to them, “He put mud on my eyes, and I washed, and I see.” 16 Some of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath.” But others said, “How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?” And there was a division among them. 17 So they said again to the blind man, “What do you say about him, since he has opened your eyes?” He said, “He is a prophet.” Outline: I.
