Robertson's Word Pictures (NT)
They reviled him (eloidorhsan auton). First aorist active indicative of loidorew, old verb from loidorov (reviler, I Corinthians 5:11), in N.T. only here, Acts 23:4; I Corinthians 4:12; I Peter 2:23.
Thou art his disciple (su maqhthv ei ekeinou). Probably a fling in ekeinou (of that fellow). He had called him a prophet (John 9:17) and became a joyful follower later (John 9:36-38).
But we are disciples of Moses (hmeiv de tou Mwusewv esmen maqhtai). This they said with proud scorn of the healed beggar. All orthodox rabbis so claimed.
