So the Pharisees also asked him The Pharisees, a prominent religious group in first-century Judaism, were known for their strict adherence to the Law and traditions. Their questioning reflects a legalistic approach, often seeking to challenge or discredit Jesus' miracles. The Greek word for "asked" (ἐπηρώτησαν) implies a formal inquiry, indicating the seriousness with which they approached this situation. Historically, the Pharisees were influential in the Sanhedrin, the Jewish ruling council, and their questioning often carried significant weight in religious and social matters. how he had received his sight He answered He put mud on my eyes and I washed and now I can see He said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes.--The answer is the same as before, but briefer. It is that of a man who is answering against his will (comp. John 9:27) and does not care to say more than he is obliged to. And do see.--This differs from "I received sight" (John 9:11). He now speaks as in conscious possession of the power to see. (Comp. John 9:25.) Verse 15. - Again therefore the Pharisees, before whom the blind man had been brought, unwilling to rest with mere hearsay evidence of such grievous transgression of the Law, themselves also - or, in their turn - asked him (ἠρώτων, imperfect, were interrogating) how he received (recovered) his sight (see note on ver. 11). Not the miracle itself, but the manner of it interested and excited them. And he said to them, (He) put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and I see. This is a shorter and significant abridgment of the process already described. The healed man seems to guess, by their manner, that some charge was being meditated against his Benefactor, and he shrewdly omits the saliva and the making of the clay, and the order of the Savior, and the place whither he had been sent to wash.Parallel Commentaries ...
