In Chapter 5, it is clear that the paralytic is a sinner because Jesus tells him to stop sinning. In Chapter 9, however, it is evident that the blind man's condition is not a result of his being in a state of sin because Jesus tells the Jews that neither his sin nor the sin of his parents are responsible for his blindness.
