Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - John 9:4

John 9:4. I must work the works of him that sent me Called in the preceding verse the works of God; that is, I must not cease doing this, however the malice of the Jews may be irritated thereby; I must not desist from doing the will of my heavenly Father, in order to please them; while it is day While I have an opportunity; while the time lasts, which is appointed to work in, and while the light lasts, which is given to work by. Observe, reader, Christ himself had his day; 1st, All the... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - John 9:5

John 9:5. As long as I am in the world These words show what our Lord meant by the day mentioned in the preceding verse, namely, the time he should be in the world. So long, says he, I am the light of the world Teaching men inwardly by my Spirit, and outwardly by my preaching, what is the will of God; and showing them by my example how to perform it. “While he continued on earth he was the light of the world by his personal ministry and miracles; and he would be the same by his doctrine... 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

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - John 9:3

Jesus answered, Neither did this man sin, nor his parents; but that the works of God should be manifest in him.Jesus' reply did not mean that either the man or his parents were sinless but that they were guilty of no sin that had caused the blindness. The great problem of why some should be born handicapped, and others not, or why disasters should overwhelm some and not others, and why natural disasters like storms, floods, and earthquakes should destroy some and not others - all such things,... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - John 9:4

We must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh when no man can work.The malignant opposition of his foes was in the Lord's mind here. His day of life on earth was running to its close. The autumn had fallen upon the hills of Judaea, and the winter was coming on; and the times were hastening to that April morning when his quivering flesh would be nailed to the tree. Indeed "the night" was not far away.The urgency Jesus felt is here too. There was so much to do and... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - John 9:5

When I am in the world, I am the light of the world.This is the second of the great "I am's" of John. For the list of these, see under John 8:12.When I am in the world ... has the meaning of "as long as I am in the world" (KJV), an admission that there would come a time when Jesus would be no longer on earth; but that has reference only to his physical life. Such was the glory of Christ that, through the preaching of his apostles, the light would continue to shine unto all generations.I AM THE... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - John 9:2-3

John 9:2-3. His disciples asked him, saying, &c.— Some have thought that the Jews, having derived from the Egyptians the doctrines of the pre-existence and transmigration of souls, (see Wis 8:19-20.) supposed that men were punished in this world for the sins that they had committed in their pre-existent state. From the account which Josephus gives of this matter, it appears that the Pharisees believed that the souls of good men only went into other bodies, whereas the souls of the wicked,... read more
