What does John 9:18 mean?
But the Jews did not believe concerning him
Not Jesus, but the blind man;
that he had been blind, and received his sight;
they imagine there was a fraud in the case, that it was collusion
between Jesus and this man; that he was a man who had never been
blind, but only had given out that he was, and pretended he had
now received his sight from Jesus, on purpose to spread his fame,
and induce people to believe he was the Messiah; and in this
imagination they endeavoured to strengthen themselves and others:
until they called the parents of him that had received his
sight;
they sent messengers to them, and summoned them before them, that
they might examine them about this matter, hoping, they might get
something out of them, which might detect the supposed fraud, and
bring Jesus under disgrace.
