14 The day that Jesus made the mud and cured him of his blindness was a Sabbath.

John 9:14 Meaning and Commentary

John 9:14

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 miracle, nor the good done to the man, excuse with them, what they thought a breach of the sabbath.

John 9:14 In-Context

12 "Where is he?" they asked. "I don't know," he answered.
13 Then they took to the Pharisees the man who had been blind.
14 The day that Jesus made the mud and cured him of his blindness was a Sabbath.
15 The Pharisees, then, asked the man again how he had received his sight. He told them, "He put some mud on my eyes; I washed my face, and now I can see."
16 Some of the Pharisees said, "The man who did this cannot be from God, for he does not obey the Sabbath law." Others, however, said, "How could a man who is a sinner perform such miracles as these?" And there was a division among them.
