John 9:10
John Gill - Exposition - John Gill
Therefore said they unto him,.... When the case was clear, and it was out of question that he was the man: how were thine eyes opened? or made to see: they might well ask this question, since such a thing was never known before, that one born blind received his sight; and as great a miracle it is in grace, and as great a mystery to a natural man,...

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened? He answered and said,— In his own quick, clear, intelligent way, for he was a man who evidently had twice as many eyes in his brain as other people had, even while he had none with which he could see: “He answered and said,”—

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened? He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight. A very plain story, very well told. It is the story of every soul that gets the eternal light. “Christ told...

Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened? He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight. Very straightforward, very concise, very accurate, and when we make answer about our conversion, it is...

Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened? He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash; and I went and washed, and I received sight. I admire the brevity of his statement, the boldness of it, and the simple naiveté of it. The way in which he...

Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened? He answered and said, a man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight. It was only a short story, but it was very sweet to him, and he told it with no excess of detail, but with...

John Gill - Exposition - John Gill
He answered and said, a man that is called Jesus,.... Whom he had as yet little knowledge of, only by some means or another he had learned his name; made clay and anointed mine eyes, &c. [See comments on John 9:6], [See comments on John 9:7].
John 9:11-14
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
A man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash : and I went and washed, and I received sight. Then said they unto him, Where is he? He said, I know not. They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind. And it was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his...
John 9:12
John Gill - Exposition - John Gill
Then they said unto him, where is he?.... For Christ had withdrawn himself and was gone; whether on account of the Jews, who he knew would be irritated by this miracle, or whether to avoid all popular applause and glory, which he sought not, is not certain; it may be on both accounts: this question, however, was put, not out of good will to...

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Then said they unto him, Where is he? He said, I know not. They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind. And it was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes. Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. He said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and do see. That was...

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Then said they unto him, Where is he? He said, I know not. They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind. And it was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes. Oh, that he would do the same thing, in a spiritual sense, this Sabbath day! On another occasion, when he had wrought a miracle on the Sabbath, and the Jews...
John 9:12
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Then said they unto him, Where is he? He said I know not. Enough for him to know what he did know — that his eyes were opened, and how it was done. So sometimes I have known persons come upon the new convert with a question which has rather baffled him, and he has been troubled, because he could not answer it. Do not let it trouble you. You are...

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Then said they unto him, Where is he? He said, I know not. They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind. And it was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes. Therefore, this act of Christ would be something horrible in the eyes of the Pharisees. They would make out that Christ, when he made the clay, had turned...
John 9:12
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Then said they unto him, Where is he? He said, I know not. There are a good many things concerning Christ which you may not know, but if you know that he has opened your eyes, you may be well content with the knowledge of that until he shall be pleased to reveal more about himself to you.
John 9:13
John Gill - Exposition - John Gill
They brought to the Pharisees,.... That is, to the sanhedrim, which chiefly consisted of Pharisees; and so Nonnus calls them the priests and chief priests: him that was aforetime blind; to be examined by them. And something like this is the method used by carnal relations and friends, who when they have any belonging to them under a work of grace,...
John 9:13-14
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind. And it was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes. So you may be sure that the Pharisees would be down upon him for that, because, according to the Rabbis, the making of the clay to put upon this man’s eyes would be a kind of brick-making, and they would bring him...
John 9:13
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind. I am sure that this was a very distressing sight to them, for there was nothing that ever grieved their hearts more than for Christ’s power to be displayed. They did not want to see the blind man whose eyes Christ had opened; if the miracle brought Christ any glory, it brought them just...
John 9:14
John Gill - Exposition - John Gill
And it was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay,.... Which was reckoned a violation of the sabbath, John 9:16, and was one reason why they had the man to the Pharisees to be examined, and why they were desirous of knowing where Jesus was: and opened his eyes; by putting on the clay, and sending him to wash in the Pool of Siloam: nor did the...
John 9:14-15
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And it was the Sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes. Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. That seemed to be the principal question with them; they always wanted to know the manner in which Christ’s cures were wrought.
