This Bible story podcast for kids tells the story of Jesus Heals a Man Born Blind. We referenced the following Biblical passages: John 9. Hey-O Kids Curriculum’s primary goal with the Stories of the Bible is to tell the stories from God’s word accurately and in a way that is engaging to children of all ages.

This is Jesus. Who is the son of God and the Savior of the world. While Jesus was on earth, He taught everyone about God’s love. He did many miracles and healed people of their sickness.

One day Jesus was walking with His disciples when He saw a man who was born blind. That means this man could not see. His disciples wondered whose fault it was that this man was blind and asked Jesus, “Why was this man born blind? Was it because he sinned or because his parents sinned?”

Jesus told them it was not because anyone sinned, but rather it was because the power of God could be shown through this man’s life. Then Jesus spit on the ground and made mud. He spread the mud over the blind man’s eyes and told him, “Go wash yourself in the pool of Siloam.” So the man went and did as Jesus said and he could see!

The man’s neighbors and others who knew him as the blind man wondered if this was the same man. They said, “No, he just looks like him!”

But the blind man kept saying, “Yes, it’s me!” 

So the people asked, “Who healed you? What happened?” And the man told them all that Jesus had done for him. 

The people asked, “Where is Jesus now?” But the man didn’t know. So the people took the man to the Pharisees because it was the Sabbath, the day of rest, and they thought Jesus shouldn’t have made mud and healed the man on the Sabbath. The Pharisees asked the man so many questions and he answered them. 

He told them, “I was blind but now I can see!” The Pharisees kept asking more questions. They even brought his parents in to ask them, but they wouldn’t answer. Finally the man had enough and yelled, “Look! I told you once. Why do you want to hear it again? If this man were not from God, he couldn’t have made me see!”

The Pharisees were so mad at the man for saying this that they threw him out of the synagogue.

Jesus heard what happened and He found the man and asked him, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?”

The man answered, “Who is he, sir? I want to believe in him.”

“You have seen him,” Jesus said, “and he is speaking to you!”

“Yes, Lord, I believe!” the man said. And he worshiped Jesus.
