Inner Sight on the Sabbath

John 9:13-17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read John 9 in context

Scripture Focus

13They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind.
14And it was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.
15Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. He said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and do see.
16Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he keepeth not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them.
17They say unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is a prophet.
John 9:13-17

Biblical Context

The formerly blind man is brought to the Pharisees on the Sabbath; he testifies that Jesus opened his eyes by applying clay, and the leaders debate the miracle until he affirms that Jesus is a prophet.

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine the scene as your own interior drama: you, once blind to the fullness of being, are brought before a council of old beliefs—the Pharisees of your mind—arguing over what is lawful and true. The clay placed on the eyes is not material at all but a deliberate act of imagination. In the moment, the higher self—call it Jesus—acts within you, healing by calling forth a seeing that was always yours, washing away the stale story of limitation. The dispute among the rulers mirrors the inner debates of thought—on one side, you hear the voice that says, 'this cannot be God because it breaks the Sabbath of your old habit'; on the other, the counter voice asking, 'how can a sinner do miracles?' Yet the inner witness speaks, not in doctrine but in recognition: 'He is a prophet,' not as proof but as a dawning perception. Neville would say: perception is reality, and to see is to redefine. The healing comes as you declare, with imaginal certainty, that the I AM within has opened your eyes. When you rest in that inner clarity, the outer realm naturally mirrors your changed sight.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume you are the healed one: imagine clay on your eyelids, then wash away doubt with the intent, 'I AM seeing now.' Feel the inner sight rising, and let your world reflect this inner clarity.
