33 Se este não fosse de Deus, nada poderia fazer.

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 a pecadores; mas, se alguém for temente a Deus, e fizer a sua vontade, a esse ele ouve.

32 Desde o princípio do mundo nunca se ouviu que alguém abrisse os olhos a um cego de nascença.

33 Se este não fosse de Deus, nada poderia fazer.

34 Replicaram-lhe eles: Tu nasceste todo em pecados, e vens nos ensinar a nós? E expulsaram-no.

35 Soube Jesus que o haviam expulsado; e achando-o perguntou- lhe: Crês tu no Filho do homem?
