AI OVERVIEW: Sin has robbed us of spiritual vision, so people can be blind to who Jesus is even when he works miracles, just as the man born blind did. Formalism among the Pharisees fixes on external rules—particularly the Sabbath—while refusing the inner transformation Jesus brings and attempting to discredit the miracle.
