John 9:30 - Forerunner Commentary

John 9:30

28 Then they reviled him and said, “You are His disciple, but we are Moses’ disciples.

29 We know that God ^aspoke to ^bMoses; as for this fellow, ^cwe do not know where He is from.”

30 The man answered and said to them, ^a“Why, this is a marvelous thing, that you do not know where He is from; yet He has opened my eyes!

31 Now we know that ^aGod does not hear sinners; but if anyone is a worshiper of God and does His will, He hears him.

32 Since the world began it has been unheard of that anyone opened the eyes of one who was born blind.

33 ^aIf this Man were not from God, He could do nothing.”

34 They answered and said to him, ^a“You were completely born in sins, and are you teaching us?” And they¹ cast him out.

True Vision and True Blindness

35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when He had ^afound him, He said to him, “Do you ^bbelieve in ^cthe Son of God?”
