John 9
1. The man born blind is restored to sight.
8. He is brought to the Pharisees.
13. They are offended at it;
35. but he is received of Jesus, and confesses him.
39. Who they are whom Jesus enlightens.














(10) How were thine eyes opened?--They wonder at the change wrought in him, and seek to know how it happened. The question is important if we adopt the better reading, beggar, for "blind," in John 9:8, as showing that they knew he had been blind, the moment they knew that he was the same person who used to sit and beg.

Verse 10. - They said therefore to him, How then were thine eyes opened? If you are the very man, how has this come about?
