John 9:15

15 So the Pharisees asked the man again how he received his sight. The man told the Pharisees, "He put a mixture of spit and dirt on my eyes. I washed it off, and now I can see."

John 9:15 Meaning and Commentary

John 9:15

Then again the Pharisees asked him
Not that they had put any question of this kind to him before; but they also, as well as the neighbours, inquired of him,

how he had received his sight;
from whom, and by what means:

he said unto them, he put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed and do
see.
This account agrees with the matter of fact, and with that he gave to his neighbours: he did not vary as to the truth of the relation, but this is somewhat more concise and short; and it is reasonable to suppose, that the Pharisees had talked much with him before, which made it less necessary to be more particular; for he makes no mention of the name of Jesus, nor of his making the clay, and the manner of it, nor of the Pool of Siloam, or his orders to go there and wash; (See Gill on John 9:6), (See Gill on John 9:7).

John 9:15 In-Context

13 Some people brought the man who had been blind to the Pharisees.
14 The day when Jesus mixed the spit and dirt and gave the man sight was a day of worship.
15 So the Pharisees asked the man again how he received his sight. The man told the Pharisees, "He put a mixture of spit and dirt on my eyes. I washed it off, and now I can see."
16 Some of the Pharisees said, "The man who did this is not from God because he doesn't follow the traditions for the day of worship." Other Pharisees asked, "How can a man who is a sinner perform miracles like these?" So the Pharisees were divided in their opinions.
17 They asked the man who had been born blind another question: "What do you say about the man who gave you sight?" The man answered, "He's a prophet."
