The growing fame of Jesus Christ finally brings him to the attention of the Roman authorities in Judea and to Caiaphas, the high priest of the great temple in Jerusalem. Many throughout Galilee and Judea now openly acknowledge Jesus as the Messiah, much to the concern of the Pharisees and chief priests. They fail in their attempt to persuade the Romans to arrest Jesus, but the ever-growing fame of his teachings and miracles are now seen as a threat to their political and religious authority. Jesus’ reputation as a healer and a miracle worker grows even greater when he restores a blind man's sight at the pool of Siloam.
