John 9:32Since the world began it has never been heard of that anyone opened the eyes of someone born blind.

The setting

Jerusalem, ~30 AD. Temple courts. A former beggar who sat at the same corner for decades now stands arguing with religious leaders...

The emotion here: overwhelmed by witnessing the impossible

The original word

aiōnos (αἰῶνος) — from the age, since time began, never in all history

Why it matters
