James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - John 9:35

‘DO WE BELIEVE?’‘Dost thou believe on the Son of God?’ John 9:35 The question, ‘Do we believe?’ which excited so long and so interesting a correspondence in a London daily newspaper a few years ago, was first asked by our Lord Jesus Christ. He was the first to ask it, and He did not take it in the general way, ‘Do we believe?’ He put it in a most personal way: ‘Dost thou believe on the Son of God?’ This is a very grave and solemn question, which it would be well for every man to answer for... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - John 9:35

‘Jesus heard that they had excluded him, and finding him he said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?” Jesus, having heard that the man had been excluded from the synagogue, now sought him out. They had thought that they were excluding him from the worship of God, not realising that they were rather throwing Him into the hands of God. Jesus then asked him if he ‘believed in the Son of Man’. Ideas about the heavenly Son of Man were current at the time (see John 3:13; John 5:27; John 6:62 which... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - John 9:35

Jesus heard that they had cast him out, as was said in the former verse, probably by excommunication. When he had found him, ( whether casually, or upon an industrious search for him, the Scripture doth not say), he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God? Art thou one who art ready truly and seriously to embrace the Messiah and Saviour of the world, who must not be only the Son of man, but also the Son of God? Art thou willing to accept, receive, and close with him, and to give up... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - John 9:35-36

John 9:35-36 This is the very question which Jesus still puts to the conscience of every man, and on the answer given to it does the salvation of every man still depend. How often also is the answer which our hearts would return, the very same with that which was made by the blind man to Christ: "Who is He, Lord, that I might believe on Him?" I. First, let us see what the question means. It is plain that it means more than a mere nominal belief, like that of a person who had learnt his creed by... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - John 9:1-41

Shall we turn now in our Bibles to the gospel according to John, chapter 9.Jesus had been having a dispute with the Pharisees in the temple at the time of the Feast of the Tabernacles, six months or so before the Passover in which He was crucified. And in the eighth chapter it records His conversations with them, with His declaring unto to them, "Before Abraham was I am." And so the last time we saw Jesus they were taking up stones to throw at Him, and He passed by them and left the temple... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - John 9:1-41

John 9:7 . Go, wash in the pool of Siloam. Some travellers say that this fountain is supplied by conduits from the Gihon, and that the water has a sweet taste. Mr. Biddulph, quoted on John 4:5, says the same of Jacob’s well. The pool of Siloam was situated near the temple; and they drew water from it in a golden pitcher to pour on the sacrifices, during the feast of tabernacles. See Isaiah 12:3. 2 Chronicles 32:30. It was once so spacious that the people could swim in it. John 9:11 . ... read more
