📚 Historical Context
In the Gospel of John, Jesus has just healed a man born blind, an act that sparks intense debate and opposition from the religious leaders who question the miracle's validity. The man, after being interrogated and cast out by the Pharisees for defending Jesus, encounters Him again. When Jesus asks if he believes in the Son of Man, the man responds with a sincere desire to know who that is so he can place his faith in Him.
