5.  He was a Well-Known Man.
6.  He was an Ignored Man.
 B.  It was a Providential Encounter.

 D.  It was a Bold Encounter.

II.  The Disciples have an Enquiry (2).
 A.  They Correctly Understood Suffering is the Result of Sin.
 B.  They Incorrectly Searched for the Cause of the Suffering.
1.  They wonder if the cause is the man.
2.  They wonder if the cause is the parents.
