Juan 9:4-7 RVR1960

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - John 9:1-7

We have here sight given to a poor beggar that had been blind from his birth. Observe, I. The notice which our Lord Jesus took of the piteous case of this poor blind man (John 9:1): As Jesus passed by he saw a man which was blind from his birth. The first words seem to refer to the last of the foregoing chapter, and countenance the opinion of those who in the harmony place this story immediately after that. There it was said, paregen?he passed by, and here, without so much as repeating him... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - John 9:1-5

9:1-5 As Jesus was passing by, he saw a man who was blind from the day of his birth. "Rabbi." his disciples said to him, "who was it who sinned that he was born blind--this man or his parents?" "It was neither he nor his parents who sinned," answered Jesus, "but it happened that in him there might be a demonstration of what God can do. We must do the works of him who sent me while day lasts; the night is coming when no man is able to work. So long as I am in the world, I am the light of the... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - John 9:1-5

In this passage there are two great eternal principles. (i) Jesus does not try to follow out or to explain the connection of sin and suffering. He says that this man's affliction came to him to give an opportunity of showing what God can do. There are two senses in which that is true. (a) For John the miracles are always a sign of the glory and the power of God. The writers of the other gospels had a different point of view; and regarded them as a demonstration of the compassion of Jesus.... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - John 9:1-41

Before we leave this very wonderful chapter we would do well to read it again, this time straight through from start to finish. If we do so read it with care and attention, we will see the loveliest progression in the blind man's idea of Jesus. It goes through three stages, each one higher than the last. (i) He began by calling Jesus a man. "A man that is called Jesus opened mine eyes" ( John 9:11 ). He began by thinking of Jesus as a wonderful man. He had never met anyone who could do... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - John 9:6-12

9:6-12 When he had said this he spat on the ground, and made clay from the spittle, and he smeared the clay on his eyes and said to him: "Go, wash in the Pool of Siloam." (The word "Siloam" means "sent.") So he went away and washed, and he came able to see. So the neighbours and those who formerly knew him by sight and knew that he was a beggar, said: "Is this not the man who sat begging?" Some said: "It is he." Others said: "It is not he, but it is someone like him." The man himself said: "I... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 9:4

I must work the works of him that sent me ,.... This shows, that the works of God, that were to be manifest, were to be done by Christ: many were the works which the Father gave him to do, and which he undertook to perform; and therefore there was a necessity of doing them, as principally the work of redemption, by fulfilling the law, and satisfying justice: and besides this, there were the preaching of the Gospel, and doing of miracles, and among these was this of giving sight to the blind,... read more

As long as I am in the world ,.... Which had been now two or three and thirty years; but was not to be much longer. I am the light of the world ; See Gill on John 8:12 . Though doubtless he said this with some view to the cure he was about to perform, it being agreeable to his character and work, while he was in the world. read more

And when he had thus spoken ,.... In answer to the disciples' question, and declaring his own work and office in the world, and the necessity he was under of performing it: he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle ; the Misnic doctors speak F3 Misn. Mikvaot, c. 7. sect. 1. of טיט נרוק , "clay that is spitted", or "spittle clay", which their commentators say F4 Jarchi, Maimon. & Bartenora in ib. was a weak, thin clay, like spittle or water; but this here was... read more

And said unto him, go wash in the Pool of Siloam ,.... A fountain of this name is called Siloah, Isaiah 8:6 , and according to the Jewish writers, sometimes Gihon F5 Targum, Jarchi, Kimchi, & Solomon ben Melech in 1 Kings i. 39. ; and this, they say F6 Jarchi & Bartenora in Misn. Succa, c. 4. sect. 9. , was without Jerusalem, though near unto it: hither the Jews went at the feast of tabernacles F7 Misn. Succa, c. 4. sect. 9. , and drew water with great rejoicing, and... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - John 9:4

While it is day - Though I plainly perceive that the cure of this man will draw down upon me the malice of the Jewish rulers, yet I must accomplish the work for which I came into the world whole it is day - while the term of this life of mine shall last. It was about six months after this that our Lord was crucified. It is very likely that the day was now declining, and night coming on; and he took occasion from this circumstance to introduce the elegant metaphor immediately following. By... read more
