João 9:33

33 Se esse homem não fosse de Deus, não poderia fazer coisa alguma”.

João 9:33 Meaning and Commentary

John 9:33

If this man were not of God
If he had not his mission, commission, and credentials from God; if he had not been sent by him, and had not authority from him, and was not assisted by him, as man, or God was not with him,

he could do nothing;
or "not do these things", as the Syriac version reads; that is, such miraculous works; or, as the Persic version, "he could not do this miracle": open the eyes of a man born blind. His doing this is a full proof that he is of God, and comes from him.

João 9:33 In-Context

31 Sabemos que Deus não ouve pecadores, mas ouve o homem que o teme e pratica a sua vontade.

32 “Ninguém jamais ouviu que os olhos de um cego de nascença tivessem sido abertos.

33 Se esse homem não fosse de Deus, não poderia fazer coisa alguma”.

34 Diante disso, eles responderam: “Você nasceu cheio de pecado; como tem a ousadia de nos ensinar?” E o expulsaram.

35 Jesus ouviu que o haviam expulsado e, ao encontrá-lo, disse: “Você crê no Filho do homem?”
