Juan 9:33

33 Si éste no viniera de Dios, no podría hacer nada.

Juan 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.

Juan 9:33 In-Context

31 Sabemos que Dios no oye a los pecadores; pero si alguien teme a Dios y hace su voluntad, a éste oye.
32 Desde el principio jamás se ha oído decir que alguien abriera los ojos a un ciego de nacimiento.
33 Si éste no viniera de Dios, no podría hacer nada.
34 Respondieron ellos y le dijeron: Tú naciste enteramente en pecados, ¿y tú nos enseñas a nosotros? Y lo echaron fuera.
35 Jesús oyó decir que lo habían echado fuera, y hallándolo, le dijo: ¿Crees tú en el Hijo del Hombre?
