Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - John 9:24-34

24-34 As Christ's mercies are most valued by those who have felt the want of them, that have been blind, and now see; so the most powerful and lasting affections to Christ, arise from actual knowledge of him. In the work of grace in the soul, though we cannot tell when, and how, and by what steps the blessed change was wrought, yet we may take the comfort, if we can say, through grace, Whereas I was blind, now I see. I did live a worldly, sensual life, but, thanks be to God, it is now otherwise... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - John 9:35-38

35-38 Christ owns those who own him and his truth and ways. There is particular notice taken of such a suffer in the cause of Christ, and for the testimony of a good conscience. Our Lord Jesus graciously reveals himself to the man. Now he was made sensible what an unspeakable mercy it was, to be cured of his blindness, that he might see the Son of God. None but God is to be worshipped; so that in worshipping Jesus, he owned him to be God. All who believe in him, will worship him. read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - John 9:39-41

39-41 Christ came into the world to give sight to those who were spiritually blind. Also, that those who see might be made blind; that those who have a high conceit of their own wisdom, might be sealed up in ignorance. The preaching of the cross was thought to be folly by such as by carnal wisdom knew not God. Nothing fortifies men's corrupt hearts against the convictions of the word, more than the high opinion which others have of them; as if all that gained applause with men, must obtain... 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

The inquiry of the Pharisees: v. 13. They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind. v. 14. And it was the Sabbath-day when Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes. v. 15. Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. He said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and do see. v. 16. Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This Man is not of God because He keepeth not the Sabbath-day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such... read more

The consultation with the parents: v. 18. But the Jews did not believe concerning him that he had been blind and received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight. v. 19. And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who, ye say, was born blind? How, then, doth he now see? v. 20. His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind; 21. but by what means he now seeth we know not, or who hath opened his eyes we... read more

A second interview with the former blind man: v. 24. Then again called they the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give God the praise; we know that this Man is a sinner. v. 25. He answered and said, Whether He be a sinner or no, I know not; one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see. v. 26. Then said they to him again, What did He do to thee? How opened He thine eyes? v. 27. He answered them, I have told you already, and ye did not hear; wherefore would ye hear it... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - John 9:30-33

The proper conclusion of the former blind man: v. 30. The man answered and said unto them, Why, herein is a marvelous thing, that ye know not from whence He is, and yet He hath opened mine eyes. v. 31. Now we know that God heareth not sinners; but if any man be a worshiper of God, and doeth His will, him He heareth. v. 32. Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind. v. 33. If this Man were not of God, He could do nothing. Far from... read more

Jesus reveals Himself: v. 34. They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in Sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out. v. 35. Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when He had found him, He said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God? v. 36.

The judgment upon willful blindness: v. 39. And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind. v. 40. And some of the Pharisees which were with Him heard these words, and said unto Him, Are we blind also? v. 41. Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin; but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.
