約翰福音 9:5 CUNPTS

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - John 9:4-5

I must work the works of him that sent me while it is day: the night cometh when no man can work. (5) As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world. I beg the Reader to pause over these verses, and mark some of the great things contained in them. First, observe, how sweetly Jesus speaks in his Mediator-character and office, of doing the works of Him that sent him. Mark the Lord's duty to his Father, and his love to his people, in this zeal of his heart. Secondly, mark no less, the... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - John 9:1-7

1-7 Christ cured many who were blind by disease or accident; here he cured one born blind. Thus he showed his power to help in the most desperate cases, and the work of his grace upon the souls of sinners, which gives sight to those blind by nature. This poor man could not see Christ, but Christ saw him. And if we know or apprehend anything of Christ, it is because we were first known of him. Christ says of uncommon calamities, that they are not always to be looked on as special punishments of... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - John 9:1-99

John 9 THE MURDEROUS INTENTIONS of the Jews did not fail because they lacked fixity of purpose but because He was beyond their reach until His hour was come. Hiding Himself from them, Jesus left the temple, and as He passed on He encountered a blind man who was to bear striking witness to the leaders of Israel, and in his own person become another “sign” that here amongst them was indeed the Christ, the Son of God. The question which the disciples raised may seem curious to us, but it... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - John 9:1-12

Jesus Opens Blind Eyes John 9:1-12 At the close of the previous chapter our Lord bore the contradiction of sinners against Himself. The Jews had caught up the stones gathered to repair the Temple, in order to inflict the doom of the blasphemer; but Jesus passed through them unscathed and began to descend the great steps. To human gaze there was need for Jesus to hasten from His foes, John 8:59 ; in His thought there was greater need to heal this blind beggar. In the most leisurely manner,... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - John 9:1-41

The account of His healing of a blind man follows. Its values are gained very largely in relation to this spirit of opposition which was being exhibited. The case aroused great interest, so much so that the man was arraigned before the rulers, and his attitude before them aroused their anger even yet more, so that they excommunicated him. Then our Lord sought him out, revealed Himself as the Son of God, and received his worship. Then, again, He declared that He had come into the world in... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - John 9:1-41

The Man Blind from Birth John 9:1-41 INTRODUCTORY WORDS 1. A strange question. As Jesus passed by He saw a man which was blind from his birth. That doubtless was a common occurrence along most any road side. This, however, was a special case. A man blind from birth, and a man who was blind to the objects around him, was yet a man able to see in Christ the One who alone could help and heal him. As they passed by, the disciples said, "Who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - John 9:4-5

“It is necessary for us to work the works of him who sent me while it is day. The night will come when no one can work. As long as I am in the world I am the light of the world.” Jesus recognised in the blind man something which necessitated His use of His ability to heal, ‘to do the will of Him Who sent Him. ‘It is necessary’ (dei) for us ---’. There was a sense of urgency in these words, a stress on the divine necessity. Jesus was here stating that ‘we’ (He and His disciples - but we can... read more
