John 9:13 Meaning and Commentary

John 9:13

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, have them to their learned doctors of a different religion, to talk to them, and dissuade them from the ways of truth and godliness.

John 9:13 In-Context

11 He answered, "The man called Jesus made mud, spread it on my eyes, and told me, 'Go to Siloam and wash.' So when I went and washed I received my sight."

12 "Where is He?" they asked. "I don't know," he said.

13 They brought the man who used to be blind to the Pharisees.

14 The day that Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes was a Sabbath.

15 So again the Pharisees asked him how he received his sight. "He put mud on my eyes," he told them. "I washed and I can see."
