Highlights
I shall summarise my analysis by combining some important aspects
By the same Construction Rule, the informative and confirmative macrospeech acts in clusters C, D and C’ entail a new proposition (ii) that the identity of Jesus is that of the Christ who came from God
This study explored The story of Jesus and the blind man: A speech act reading of John 9
Summary
A discussion of the relations between the clusters involves justifying the colon demarcations of the text. In order to better understand these disputed points, the Jewish authorities in both clusters asked the blind man the same question concerning the process of the healing miracle (9:15; 9:26). This same question led the man to respond differently in the different situations. On the level of the Jewish authorities, this Chapter may be organised on the basis of a logical‐reason‐result relationship Because they rejected Jesus, the man from God, they became blind and were declared guilty. I hope that all the above arguments will help justify my own cluster demarcations of Chapter 9 of John’s Gospel
