Seems like the former blind man struck a nerve with the Pharisees.

Common sense should tell them that Someone out of the ordinary was before them but they were so blinded by their theology that they couldn’t see past it to see who Jesus was. Do we know anyone like that? So blinded by what they choose to believe that they are unwilling, and even unable to consider something different than what they think? Like I said yesterday, the Pharisees were trying to stake the moral high ground in this debate but were woefully lacking in substance and when things weren’t going their way, they resorted to name calling and threats.
