The Pulpit Commentary - John 9:13-34
The investigation of the miracle. This was prompted by the unfriendly questioners first referred to. I. THE INQUIRY OF THE PHARISEES . 1. They first examined the beggar as to the facts of his cure . These it was as impossible to ignore as it was difficult to explain. 2. The performance of the cure on the sabbath day was the pivot upon which the question turned . "Now it was the sabbath day that Jesus made the clay, and opened the eyes of this man." Of the... read more

A noble defense. Notice— I. A MARVELLOUS IGNORANCE . "Why herein is a marvelous thing," etc. Their ignorance of the origin and history of Jesus was marvelous considered in reference to the persons themselves. Ignorant: (a) While they really knew so much. The sum of their general religious knowledge must be considerable. (b) While they professed and were supposed to know so much. They professed to know all about the Divine communications to Moses; professed to know the less,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 9:34
Vanquished by this logic of simple fact and plain inference, the authorities have no other weapon to use but invective and persecution. They answered and said to him, Thou wast altogether born in sins ; through and through a born reprobate. They take up the superstitious idea which seems ( John 9:2 ) to have been floating in the mind of the disciples. From sins of parents or from thine own sins in thy mother's womb, thou earnest into the world with the brand of thy infamy upon thee. Thus... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 9:35
Jesus heard that they had east him out ; or, thrust him forth . Jesus is represented as "hearing," not from the man's own lips, but from the current report. He is not said to have become acquainted with the circumstance by intuition, but to have heard by the ordinary processes of knowledge. This simple touch shows how consistent the writer is throughout with the main thesis of his Gospel touching the perfect humanity of the Son of God, that he "was made flesh." and had "come in the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 9:35-38
(a) The vision of those who see not . These verses narrate the sequel so far as the man was concerned. Westcott and others rather exaggerate the bearing of it when they say here was "the beginning of the new society." "The universal society is based on the confession of a new truth" (Westcott). Even in this Gospel the first chapter shows that Jesus gathered disciples about him who from that time onward were to "see angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of man." In the second... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 9:35-38
The moral result of the miracle. The bodily cure is to lead to spiritual enlightenment. I. JESUS SEEKS OUT THE OUTCAST BEGGAR FOR BLESSING . "And when he had found him, he said, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?" 1. It is the office of the good Shepherd to seek out the sheep cast away , as if to fulfill the psalmist's words, "When my father and my mother forsake me, the Lord taketh me up." 2. Something more than miracle is needed to impart faith . He... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 9:35-38
A heart made ready for faith. In this interview the purposes of Christ's love with regard to this poor man were fully accomplished. The opening of his bodily eyes, the trials to which he was afterwards subjected , led up to the consummation desired by his Benefactor. By gradual stages he had come to that point, at which only a fuller revelation of the Lord was required, in order that his faith might be perfected. I. A MOMENTOUS QUESTION ROUSES INTEREST AND HOPE .... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 9:35-38
A happy meeting. We have in this passage— I. JESUS IN SEARCH FOR THE OUTCAST . 1. He had lost sight of him for a while . He had not seen him since he went on the path of duty and obedience to the pool of Siloam. It was well that they should be apart for some time. Important purposes were thus answered. But neither Jesus nor the man was idle. Jesus was about his Father's business; and the man that had been blind, according to Christ's statement, was busily... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 9:1-41
The passage of a soul from darkness into light. This graphic and dramatic narrative begins with the healing of a bodily privation by the exercise el Christ's miraculous power. But its chief interest lies in the spiritual process which it unfolds. It relates how a young man, poor and blind, but intelligent, candid, and brave, received spiritual as well as bodily illumination, and how he displayed insight in apprehending Christ's character, courage in resisting Christ's adversaries, and ... read more
