John 9:32

John 9:32

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?”

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.
