The Pharisees are investigating the healing of the blind man. (John 9:13-34)
Pharisee One – “That jerk that just came in says he was blind but now he can see”.
Pharisee Two – “Nothing is that simple.”
Pharisee One – “Well, ya know what they say. If it seems too good to be true, it probably isn’t.”
Pharisee Two – ” The guy must have done something really bad to be blind in the first place.”
Pharisee One – “Probably his father was blind. They say the apple never falls far from the tree.”
Jesus (Sitting at the Counter) – “I just healed the man as my Father led me.”
Pharisee One -“Well that was quite a lucky break for the guy, you healing him. Just who do you think you are anyway?”
Jesus – “You’ll have to take my word for who I am.”
Pharisee Two – “Hey mister! Who’s responsible for healing your blindness?”
Former Blind Man – “A man called Jesus.”
Pharisee One – So where is this guy now?”
Former Blind Man – “He’s sitting right over there at the counter.”
Pharissee Two – “Let’s just let the law handle it.”
Lawman to Former Blind Man – “Buddy, you’ve been traveling on a restricted license because of your blindness. You haven’t been wearing your seatbelt either. You’d better come clean about this cured blindness. What’s going on here?”
Former Blind Man – “All I know for sure is that I was blind and he helped me to see.”
Pharisee One – “So what is he, a doctor?”
Pharisee Two – “Call the guy’s parents.”
Blind Man’s Dad – “He’s ours alright. But he’s a big boy so he can speak for himself.”
Pharisee One – “If that Jesus guy is a doctor, I’d call him a quack!”
Former Blind Man -“For a couple of guys with so many questions, you sure don’t have many answers. When I tell you what happened, you don’t listen to me.”
Pharisee Two – “Hit the road buddy. Your kind never changes.”
Pharisee One – “How much do we owe ya for the coffee, lady?
