The Blind Beggar of Jerusalem

"The Blind Beggar of Jerusalem" is a 1945 Cathedral Films Production by the Rev. James K. Friedrich and directed by John T. Coyle. 

In this story from the New Testament, the blind beggar gains his sight when Jesus anoints his eyes with mud and commands that he "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam." The beggar, no longer blind, is examined by the Temple high priests who attempt to discredit the power of Jesus by demanding the beggar deny the miracle. Jesus is portrayed by actor Nelson Leigh, who plays St. Paul in Cathedral Film's brilliant 12-part "The Life of St. Paul" series.

Gospel Films Archive is endeavoring to restore, reissue and preserve the entire output of 20th century Christian filmmaking, and currently is concentrating on restoring the Cathedral Films library. More info is at the GFA website: gospelfilmsarchive.com.
