The Reaction of the Pharisees to the Healing

13 They brought him--the one formerly blind--to the Pharisees.

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 replied, "The man who is called Jesus made clay and smeared [it] on my eyes and said to me, 'Go to Siloam and wash!' So I went, and I washed, [and] I received sight."

12 And they said to him, "Where is that man?" He said, "I do not know."

13 They brought him--the one formerly blind--to the Pharisees.

14 (Now the day on which Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes was the Sabbath.)

15 So the Pharisees also were asking him again how he received sight. And he said to them, "He put clay on my eyes, and I washed, and I see."
