Blame and Scapegoating

Text of excerpt, if available

someone to blame  we assume it must be someone's fault  either we're guilty someone has wronged  us or else  God's unfair things go wrong we look for  someone to blame now the scene opens  with Jesus passing by a man who's been  blind from birth Jesus and the disciples  are probably leaving the temple at this  point the blind man is sitting at the  gate begging it was a common sight in  Jerusalem in verse two the disciples  posed the question who sinned this man  or his parents that he was born blind  they're looking for someone to blame
