Commentaries:
Robertson's Word Pictures (NT)
Since the world began (ek tou aiwnov). Literally, "from the age," "from of old." Elsewhere in the N.T. we have apo tou aiwnov or ap aiwnov (Luke 1:70; 3:31; Acts 15:18) as is common in the LXX.
Of a man born blind (tuflou gegennhmenou). Perfect passive participle of gennaw. This is the chief point and the man will not let it be overlooked, almost rubs it in, in fact. It was congenital blindness.
