John 9:26 Meaning and Commentary

John 9:26

Then said they to him again
Finding they could not bring him to deny the fact, or cause him to entertain an ill opinion of him that did it, they examine him again about the manner of it:

what did he to thee? how opened he thine eyes?
These questions they had put before, ( John 9:15 ) , and propose them again, in hope he would vary in the account, which they would not fail of improving against him; or that it would appear that he had not been really blind, at least from his birth; or that Christ made use of some unlawful means, as magic art, which they were always ready to charge him with, and to impute his miracles to a diabolical familiarity and influence; and they would have been glad to have had something to support such a calumny.

John 9:26 In-Context

24 They therefore called the man again that had been blind and said to him: Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner.

25 He said therefore to them: If he be a sinner, I know not. One thing I know, that whereas I was blind. now I see.

26 They said then to him: What did he to thee? How did he open thy eyes?

27 He answered them: I have told you already, and you have heard. Why would you hear it again? Will you also become his disciples?

28 They reviled him therefore and said: Be thou his disciple; but we are the disciples of Moses.
