John 9:10 Meaning and Commentary

John 9:10

Therefore said they unto him
When the case was clear, and it was out of question that he was the man:

how were thine eyes opened?
or made to see: they might well ask this question, since such a thing was never known before, that one born blind received his sight; and as great a miracle it is in grace, and as great a mystery to a natural man, how one should be born again, or be spiritually enlightened.

John 9:10 In-Context

8 The neighbours, therefore, and those who before had seen him that he was blind said, Is not this he that sat and begged?
9 Some said, This is he; others said, He is like him; but he said, I am he.
10 Then they said unto him, How were thine eyes opened?
11 He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay and anointed my eyes and said unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash; and I went and washed, and I received sight.
12 Then said they unto him, Where is he? He said, I know not.
