Scriptural Snippets.

The next time Pat Robertson or anyone else blames some affliction on the sufferer's sins, remember John 9:1-3:


9:1. And Jesus passing by, saw a man who was blind from his birth.
Et praeteriens vidit hominem caecum a nativitate

9:2. And his disciples asked him: Rabbi, who hath sinned, this man or his parents, that he should be born blind?
Et interrogaverunt eum discipuli sui rabbi quis peccavit hic aut parentes eius ut caecus nasceretur

9:3. Jesus answered: Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents; but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.
Respondit Iesus neque hic peccavit neque parentes eius sed ut manifestetur opera Dei in illo
