"I, the previously blind man, was once again asked  by the Religious Leaders who had healed me.... I had already told them that the Man who had healed me had put mud on my eyes and had told me to go to the Pool of Siloam to wash my eyes... They did not seem to believe me.... This time they asked me what I had to say about the Man... To be honest, there was not much I could say about Him... I had only met Him that morning... And He had not said anything to me about Himself.... He had just made some mud from the soil and had placed it on my eyes.... The only time He spoke to me was when He had told me to go to the Pool of Siloam to wash myself.... It looks to me that He at least must be a Prophet."... Please read the typed out attachment when you will learn that the previously blind man believes Jesus must at least be a Prophet....

Going back to the story of the man born blind, the Religious Leaders turn again to the now healed man and ask him for his opinion about the One who has healed him as you can read in John 9:17

Finlly they turned again to the blind man, "What have you to say about Him? It was your eyes He opened." The man replied, "He is a Prophet."

The previously blind man declares that He must be a Prophet. The Religious Leaders are clearly blind to the truth about Jesus, even though they are supposed to know and are supposed to be the ones to help the previously blind man understand who has healed him. Instead, it is the previously blind man who gives them further insight into Jesus. Not having the knowledge of Scripture as the Religious Leaders have, he is already at a place of understanding where he recognises Jesus as a Prophet. Jesus is indeed a Prophet but He is so much more as this man will soon find out.
