The Pulpit Commentary - John 9:37

[And £ ] Jesus said, Thou hast both seen him , with the eyes so recently opened. Hast thou not found out that I am thy Healer, thy Prophet, thy Messiah? The ἑώρακας refers to the present interview, not to any previous one; for we are not told that he had already sought or found his Benefactor (Lucke, Meyer, Luthardt). Thou hast seen him with the eyes of thy spirit as well as the eyes of flesh, and , in addition, he that talketh with thee, familiarly as man with man , is he— ... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - John 9:35

Dost thou believe on the Son of God? - Hitherto he had understood little of the true character of Jesus. He believed that he had power to heal him, and he inferred that he must be a prophet, John 9:17. He believed according to the light he had, and he now showed that he was prepared to believe all that Jesus said. This is the nature of true faith.

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - John 9:36

Who is he? - It is probable that the man did not know that he who now addressed him was the same who had healed him. He had not yet seen him John 9:7, but he was prepared to acknowledge him when he did see him. He inquired, therefore, who the person was, or wished that he might be pointed out to him, that he might see him. This passage shows that he was disposed to believe, and had a strong desire to see and hear the Son of God.Lord - This word here, as in many other instances in the New... read more

John 9:35-38. Jesus heard that they had cast him out Had excommunicated the poor man for his sake; and when he had found him Which it appears he did soon after; he said unto him, privately, Dost thou believe on the Son of God The great expected Messiah?

This was that faith of the Son of God which they lived by, who lived before... 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 9:36

He answered and said, And who is he, Lord, that I may believe on him?The man evidently had an extensive knowledge of the Scriptures, as indicated by his boldness before the Pharisees; but he had not received any testimony except his own deductions from the miracle, to the effect that Jesus was the Son of God. Such testimony, therefore, from the Master himself he sought and received. read more
