Josiah, a recipient of Jesus's miraculous ministry, became a lifelong preacher of the gospel. [1]
Josiah's healing on the Sabbath day sparked a heated debate among the Sanhedrin, who ultimately failed to ensnare him in their traps, leading Josiah to boldly proclaim Jesus as a prophet before them. [2] Cast out of synagogue, Josiah boldly proclaimed the truth and was rewarded with the revelation of the Son of God by Jesus. [3] Josiah, the blind beggar, was healed by Jesus, challenging the religious leaders and teaching the apostles to not neglect material means in healing. [4]
Josiah, neither dumb nor lacking in humor, responded to the court officer: "Whether this man is a sinner, I know not; but one thing I do know—that, whereas I was blind, now I see.". [5]
Josiah's parents, poor and fear-ridden souls, stood silent before the Sanhedrin, unable to explain how their blind son could now see, directing the court to question him instead. [6]
