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

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - John 9:38

BELIEF AND WORSHIP‘And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped Him.’ John 9:38 John supplements the other Gospels. The miracle recorded in this chapter is found nowhere else. But some people say—Miracles are impossible. If Christ has opened your eyes and made all things new for you, you will not say miracles are impossible, for you yourself are a miracle of mercy. What greater thing can God be asked to do than to raise a dead soul? I. It is wonderful how quickly this man grew in grace.—At... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - John 9:36

‘He answered and said, ‘Who is he, sir, that I may believe in him?’ The man was willing to learn anything that Jesus wanted to teach him. He recognised that Jesus was a God sent teacher and was willing to accept whatever He told him. Who, then, he asked was this Son of Man? At Jesus’ recommendation he was willing to believe in anyone. read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - John 9:37

‘Jesus said to him, “You have both seen him and He is the one who speaks with you”.’ Jesus wanted him to know that He was not talking of some far off figure in Heaven, but someone seeable. Indeed the man himself had seen him and talked with him, for it was He Himself. read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - John 9:38

‘And he said, “Lord, I believe”’, and he worshipped him.’ The man’s eyes had now been opened again, this time spiritually, and he confessed Jesus as ‘Lord’. How far he yet saw the full truth we do not know, but we are undoubtedly to see this as the beginning of a genuine discipleship. (He previously called Jesus ‘sir’ using the same word ‘kurios’, but the change in his viewpoint demands the change in translation). ‘He worshipped him.’ We are probably to see here that he fell on his face before... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - John 9:36

It is as much as if he had said, Lord! How should I believe on him, of whom I have not heard? (So the disciples answered Paul, asking them whether they had received the Holy Ghost, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost, Acts 19:2). But, saith he, Lord, I am ready to believe on him, may I but know who he is. Our Lord had prepared this poor man’s heart for the receiving of him; there wanted now nothing but the due revelation of the Messiah unto him. This our Saviour giveth... read more
