約翰福音 9:9 RCUVTS

Expositor's Bible Commentary - John 9:1-41

Chapter 20SIGHT GIVEN TO THE BLIND.“And as He passed by, He saw a man blind from his birth. And His disciples asked Him, saying, Rabbi, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he should be born blind? Jesus answered, Neither did this man sin, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him. We must work the works of Him that sent Me, while it is day; the night cometh, when no man can work. When I am in the world, I am the Light of the world. When He had thus... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - John 9:1-41

CHAPTER 9 1. The Man Born Blind, Healed. (John 9:1-7 .) 2. The Healed Man Questioned. (John 9:8-26 .) 3. Reviled and Cast Out. (John 9:27-34 .) 4. Jesus Reveals Himself to Him. (John 9:35-41 .) The healing of the man born blind is a type and an illustration of how Christ, the Light, communicates light and how he who follows the Light walks no more in darkness, but has the light of life. (John 8:12 .) And before He healed the man He testified that His day of activity on earth as Man was... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - John 9:1-41

SIGHT RESTORED TO A MAN BORN BLIND (vs.1-12) Now that it has been clearly demonstrated that the Jews were determined to kill Him, this chapter witnesses a wonderful contrast to such hatred in the Lord's gracious dealings with one individual whose eyes and heart are opened to give Him the glory that Israel refused Him. The man blind from his birth is no doubt a picture of Israel, and indeed of all mankind by nature. Of course the root of this is sin, but not, as the disciples supposed, some... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - John 9:1-41

FEAST OF TABERNACLES The story of the fourth and last visit to Judea is too long and important to gather into one lesson, and will be broken up into three or four, the first of which bears the above title. How did Jesus’ brothers regard him at this time (John 7:2-5 )? What hesitancy did He exhibit in going up to this feast (John 7:6-9 )? This feast took place in the fall, corresponding to our October. This chapter and the next are identified as those of the controversies in the Temple. They... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - John 9:1-38

Indisputable Cures Joh 9:1-38 "And as Jesus passed by." The eighth chapter closed with the words "and so passed by"; the ninth chapter, therefore, had better open with the expression "And as Jesus was passing by." Was this a casualty, something that happened, but might not have happened; quite an uncalculated and incalculable event in life; what we should denominate a chance, a singular circumstance, or a peculiar coincidence? Nothing of the kind. That is vain talk; it is not so written in... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - John 9:8-12

The neighbours therefore, and they which before had seen him, that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged? (9) Some said, This is he. Others said, He is like him, but he said, I am he. (10) Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened? (11) He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus, made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash. And I went and washed, and I received sight. (12) Then said they unto him, Where is he? he... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - John 9:8-12

8-12 Those whose eyes are opened, and whose hearts are cleansed by grace, being known to be the same person, but widely different in character, live as monuments to the Redeemer's glory, and recommend his grace to all who desire the same precious salvation. It is good to observe the way and method of God's works, and they will appear the more wonderful. Apply this spiritually. In the work of grace wrought upon the soul we see the change, but we see not the hand that makes it: the way of the... 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
