Having pondered this verse years ago, I recently ran across it again, and thought I would toss it out there for some you deep thinkers:
Most are familiar with the man who was born blind, whom Jesus healed by anointing his eyes with a salve of spit and dirt, telling him to wash in the pool of Siloam. But, the disciples asked Jesus a very strange question concerning the reason for the man's condition:
And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind? (Mark 9:2)
We could understand the belief that the parents were punished for some sin by having a child born blind, but how could that affliction be the result of something the child did before he was even born?
