John 9:15

15 So the Pharisees also asked him how he was able to see. "He put mud on my eyes," the man replied. "Then I washed. And now I can see."

John 9:15 Meaning and Commentary

John 9:15

Then again the Pharisees asked him
Not that they had put any question of this kind to him before; but they also, as well as the neighbours, inquired of him,

how he had received his sight;
from whom, and by what means:

he said unto them, he put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed and do
see.
This account agrees with the matter of fact, and with that he gave to his neighbours: he did not vary as to the truth of the relation, but this is somewhat more concise and short; and it is reasonable to suppose, that the Pharisees had talked much with him before, which made it less necessary to be more particular; for he makes no mention of the name of Jesus, nor of his making the clay, and the manner of it, nor of the Pool of Siloam, or his orders to go there and wash; (See Gill on John 9:6), (See Gill on John 9:7).

John 9:15 In-Context

13 They brought to the Pharisees the man who had been blind.

14 The day Jesus made the mud and opened the man's eyes was a Sabbath.

15 So the Pharisees also asked him how he was able to see. "He put mud on my eyes," the man replied. "Then I washed. And now I can see."

16 Some of the Pharisees said, "Jesus has not come from God. He does not keep the Sabbath day." But others asked, "How can a sinner do such miraculous signs?" So the Pharisees did not agree with each other.

17 Finally they turned again to the blind man. "What do you have to say about him?" they asked. "It was your eyes he opened." The man replied, "He is a prophet."
