Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - John 9:1-41

Shall we turn now in our Bibles to the gospel according to John, chapter 9.Jesus had been having a dispute with the Pharisees in the temple at the time of the Feast of the Tabernacles, six months or so before the Passover in which He was crucified. And in the eighth chapter it records His conversations with them, with His declaring unto to them, "Before Abraham was I am." And so the last time we saw Jesus they were taking up stones to throw at Him, and He passed by them and left the temple... read more

John 9:7 . Go, wash in the pool of Siloam. Some travellers say that this fountain is supplied by conduits from the Gihon, and that the water has a sweet taste. Mr. Biddulph, quoted on John 4:5, says the same of Jacob’s well. The pool of Siloam was situated near the temple; and they drew water from it in a golden pitcher to pour on the sacrifices, during the feast of tabernacles. See Isaiah 12:3. 2 Chronicles 32:30. It was once so spacious that the people could swim in it. John 9:11 . ... read more

John 9:2-8Who did sin, this man, or his parents?What the Master and what the disciples sawAt such a time it was very wonderful that He should see anything but the way out. His life was in peril. The plot was thickening, the pursuers were more than ever determined to murder Him. At such times men are likely to see only what concerns themselves and their own safety. It is a blessed proof of the way in which that most gracious heart lay open to all the sorrow and needs of men. Find out what people... read more

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - John 9:3

Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents — It was not the manner of our Lord to answer any questions that were of no use, but to gratify an idle curiosity. Therefore he determines nothing concerning this. The scope of his answer is, It was neither for any sins of his own, nor yet of his parents; but that the power of God might be displayed. read more

§ 84. RESTORATION OF THE BLIND-BORN AND FOURTH DISCOURSE AT THE FEAST OF TABERNACLES, John 9:1 John 10:21 . The event here narrated, with its appended discourse, must, in order to be understood in its completeness, be taken into one reading from John 9:1 to John 10:39. It takes place at the Feast of Tabernacles. Through chapter ix the spiritual lords of Jerusalem show themselves false shepherds, as the blind-born is a true representative sheep; and through John 10:1-21 Jesus contrasts the ... read more

3. Neither… this man… nor his parents Our Lord does not deny that they had sinned, but that they had sinned as the cause of his being born blind. Works of God We do not understand our Lord to say that the single object for which this man was born blind was, that Jesus might work a miracle upon him. God is a divine teacher; awakening, instructing, and developing the minds of men, by the phenomena around them, to a full knowledge, both scientific and spiritual, of his works in nature and in... read more
