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 answered and said, `A man called Jesus made clay, and rubbed my eyes, and said to me, Go away to the pool of Siloam, and wash; and having gone away and having washed, I received sight;'

12 they said, therefore, to him, `Where is that one?' he saith, `I have not known.'

13 They bring him to the Pharisees who once [was] blind,

14 and it was a sabbath when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.

15 Again, therefore, the Pharisees also were asking him how he received sight, and he said to them, `Clay he did put upon my eyes, and I did wash -- and I see.'
