John 9:37 Meaning and Commentary

John 9:37

And Jesus said unto him
Giving him the tokens by which he might know him: thou hast both seen him; not that he had seen him before now, with his bodily eyes; for he was blind when Christ anointed him, and sent him to Siloam to wash; nor when he came back, since Jesus was gone, and he knew not where he was; but he had seen him, that is, he had perceived and felt the power of him in restoring him to sight; and now he had seen him bodily, and did at this present time: but as this was not sufficient to distinguish him from other persons in company, he adds,

and it is he that talketh with thee;
in like manner he made himself known to the woman of Samaria, ( John 4:26 ) .

John 9:37 In-Context

35 Jesus heard that the Jews had thrown the man out [of the synagogue]. So when Jesus found the man, he asked him, "Do you believe in the Son of Man?"

36 The man replied, "Sir, tell me who he is so that I can believe in him."

37 Jesus told him, "You've seen him. He is the person who is now talking with you."

38 The man bowed in front of Jesus and said, "I believe, Lord."

39 Then Jesus said, "I have come into this world to judge: Blind people will be given sight, and those who can see will become blind."
