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 9:35-41

Jesus heard that they had cast him out: and when he had found him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God? (36) He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him? (37) And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee. (38) And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him. (39) And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world: that they which see not might see, and that they which see might be made blind. (40) And some... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - John 9:35-38

35-38 Christ owns those who own him and his truth and ways. There is particular notice taken of such a suffer in the cause of Christ, and for the testimony of a good conscience. Our Lord Jesus graciously reveals himself to the man. Now he was made sensible what an unspeakable mercy it was, to be cured of his blindness, that he might see the Son of God. None but God is to be worshipped; so that in worshipping Jesus, he owned him to be God. All who believe in him, will worship him. 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

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - John 9:34-38

Jesus reveals Himself: v. 34. They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in Sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out. v. 35. Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when He had found him, He said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God? v. 36. He answered and said, Who is He, Lord, that I might believe on Him? v. 37. And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen Him, and it is He that talketh with thee. v. 38. And he said, Lord, I believe. And he... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - John 9:35-41

“A Stone of Stumbling” John 9:35-41 ; John 10:1-6 In John 9:35 we hear of Jesus finding the outcast, whom the Pharisees had excommunicated; and this story is appropriately followed by a picture of the true Shepherd as contrasted with the false. At night sundry flocks are brought to the Eastern sheepfold and committed to the care of the keeper or porter. In the morning the shepherds knock at the barred door of the enclosure, and the porter opens from within. Each separates his own sheep by... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - John 9:1-41

The account of His healing of a blind man follows. Its values are gained very largely in relation to this spirit of opposition which was being exhibited. The case aroused great interest, so much so that the man was arraigned before the rulers, and his attitude before them aroused their anger even yet more, so that they excommunicated him. Then our Lord sought him out, revealed Himself as the Son of God, and received his worship. Then, again, He declared that He had come into the world in... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - John 9:1-41

The Man Blind from Birth John 9:1-41 INTRODUCTORY WORDS 1. A strange question. As Jesus passed by He saw a man which was blind from his birth. That doubtless was a common occurrence along most any road side. This, however, was a special case. A man blind from birth, and a man who was blind to the objects around him, was yet a man able to see in Christ the One who alone could help and heal him. As they passed by, the disciples said, "Who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born... read more
