What does the Bible say about why the man was born blind?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that the man's blindness was not due to personal sin but was a situation intended for the works of God to be manifest.

In John 9:3, Jesus explains that neither the man nor his parents sinned in a way that caused his blindness. This extraordinary condition served a greater purpose: it was ordained so that the works of God should be made manifest in him. The miracle of giving sight to this blind man illustrates the sovereignty of God and His ability to use personal afflictions for His glory. God’s providential will allows certain hardships to occur, not as punishment, but as a backdrop for the display of His power through miracles, affirming the truth that God works all things for His glory.
