约翰福音 9:32 CUVS

The Pulpit Commentary - John 9:32-33

The man, having once begun, will not be stopped in his argument. Since the world began ( ἐκ τοῦ αἰῶνος does not elsewhere occur in the New Testament; we have ἀπ αἰῶνος three times, and ἀπὸ τῶν αἰῶνων ) it was never heard that any one opened the eyes of one born blind. There is no record of any cure of blindness in the Old Testament. The miracle stands forth with grand distinctness on the page of history. If such stories had been told, neither he nor the author of... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - John 9:32

Since the world began - Neither Moses nor any of the prophets had ever done this. No instance of this kind is recorded in the Old Testament. As this was a miracle which had never been performed, the man argued justly that he who had done it must be from God. As Jesus did it not by surgical operations, but by clay, it showed that he had power of working miracles by any means. It may be also remarked that the restoration of sight to the blind by surgical operations was never performed until the... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - John 9:30-34

John 9:30-34. The man answered Utterly illiterate as he was: and with what strength and clearness of reason! So had God opened the eyes of his understanding, as well as his bodily eyes! Why, herein is a marvellous thing, that ye The teachers and guides of the people; know not whence he is From whence he comes, and who hath sent him; and yet he hath opened mine eyes Hath wrought a miracle, the like of which was never heard of before. Surely a man who could do such a thing must be from... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - John 9:1-41

92. Dispute concerning a blind man (John 9:1-41)Some Jews believed that diseases and physical disabilities were the result of either a person’s own sins or the sins of the person’s parents. When Jesus met a blind man, his disciples asked him which was the most likely cause of the man’s blindness (John 9:1-2).Jesus was not interested in discussing theoretical questions just to satisfy people’s curiosity. He was more concerned with healing the man, and in this way he would bring glory to God. His... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - John 9:32-33

John 9:32-33. Since the world began was it not heard— Philosophers are unanimouslyagreed, that it is impossible to give sight by any natural means to one who is born blind. And indeed the Jewish rabbies themselves reckon it among the characteristics of the Messiah, that he should open the eyes of the blind. The honest courage of this man, in adhering to the truth, though he knew the consequence, Joh 9:22 gives hima claim to the title of confessor; and it is unnecessary to point out to any... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - John 9:32

24-34. Give God the praise; we know that this man is a sinner—not wishing him to own, even to the praise of God, that a miracle had been wrought upon him, but to show more regard to the honor of God than ascribe any such act to one who was a sinner. read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - John 9:32-33

The man was correct that Scripture recorded no former healing of a man born blind. Evidently Jesus had not healed anyone in this condition previously either. At least this restored man had not heard of any such cases. He concluded that Jesus must have come from God. He did not qualify as the sinner that the Pharisees where making Him out to be. read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - John 9:1-41

The Man Born Blind1-12. The healing of the man born blind. This miracle occurred on the same day as the events of the last c., i.e. probably on the last day of the Feast of Tabernacles. It is intended to illustrate the truth that Christ is ’the Light of the world’ (John 8:12; John 9:5). Christ proves His power to open the eyes of the soul by opening the eyes of the body. The miracle, being wrought on the sabbath day, intensified the hostility of the rulers, which had already been violently... read more
