John 9:5 - Forerunner Commentary

John 9:5

3 Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, ^abut that the works of God should be revealed in him.

4 ^aI must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is ^bday; the night is coming when no one can work.

5 As long as I am in the world, ^aI am the light of the world.”

6 When He had said these things, ^aHe spat on the ground and made clay with the saliva; and He anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay.

7 And He said to him, “Go, wash ^ain the pool of Siloam” (which is translated, Sent). So ^bhe went and washed, and came back seeing.

8 Therefore the neighbors and those who previously had seen that he was¹ blind said, “Is not this he who sat and begged?”

9 Some said, “This is he.” Others said,¹ “He is like him.” He said, “I am he.”

10 Therefore they said to him, “How were your eyes opened?”

11 He answered and said, ^a“A Man called Jesus made clay and anointed my eyes and said to me, ‘Go to¹ the pool of Siloam and wash.’ So I went and washed, and I received sight.”

12 Then they said to him, “Where is He?” He said, “I do not know.”

The Pharisees Excommunicate the Healed Man

13 They brought him who formerly was blind to the Pharisees.
