This short story is an allegory. No disrespect is intended by deriving it from The Message John 9, from which you may make your own substitution for the man born blind. . What would Jesus do if an encounter happened with Tamar, a woman with a problem, while traveling the Earth? Can those with Jesus accept that the problem that Tamar has is nto the recompense for her actions or her parents? Can the religious of the day rejoice for her being made whole or will they put Jesus on trial through her? Are the religious as whole as they believe they are when they don't believe Jesus?
