Juan 9:8 Meaning and Commentary

John 9:8

The neighbours therefore, and they which before had seen
him
For it seems the blind man was not a stranger, one that came out of the country to the city to beg; but a native of Jerusalem, that had long lived in a certain neighbourhood in it, and was well known to be what he was;

that he was blind;
the Alexandrian copy, and one of Beza's exemplars, and the Vulgate Latin version read, "that he was a beggar"; to which agree the Syriac, Arabic, and Ethiopic versions: wherefore they

said, is this not he that sat and begged?
they particularly remark his begging posture; he was not laid all along, as the lame man in ( Acts 3:2 ) ; nor did he go from door to door, as others were used to do, but he sat in some certain place, as blind men generally did; see ( Matthew 20:30 ) .

Juan 9:8 In-Context

6 Habiendo dicho esto, escupió en tierra, e hizo barro con la saliva y le untó el barro en los ojos,
7 y le dijo: Ve y lávate en el estanque de Siloé (que quiere decir, Enviado). El fue, pues, y se lavó y regresó viendo.
8 Entonces los vecinos y los que antes le habían visto que era mendigo, decían: ¿No es éste el que se sentaba y mendigaba?
9 Unos decían: El es; y otros decían: No, pero se parece a él. El decía: Yo soy.
10 Entonces le decían: ¿Cómo te fueron abiertos los ojos?
