His disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?" Jesus answered, "Neither he nor his parents sinned; it is so that the works of God might be made visible through him. We have to do the works of the one who sent me while it is day. Night is coming when no one can work.
“This is something obvious but has always been overlooked by some. They think that sickness is a form of punishment from sins.
"Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How does he now see?" His parents answered and said, "We know that this is our son and that he was born blind. We do not know how he sees now, nor do we know who opened his eyes. Ask him, he is of age; he can speak for him self."
Good answer. Not implicating oneself yet not covering up the truth.
"What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?" He answered them, "I told you already and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you want to become his disciples, too?"
This is a case where people ask questions and they would only wanted to hear the answer they like. This is spiritual blindness.
This is actually happening in the Philippine Senate hearing of NBN deal.
