Johannes 9:12 Meaning and Commentary

John 9:12

Then they said unto him, where is he?
&c.] For Christ had withdrawn himself and was gone; whether on account of the Jews, who he knew would be irritated by this miracle, or whether to avoid all popular applause and glory, which he sought not, is not certain; it may be on both accounts: this question, however, was put, not out of good will to Christ, but that they might apprehend him, and bring him before the sanhedrim, for doing work on the sabbath day; and such enmity there is in carnal men, at the conversion of sinners, their acquaintance, instead of rejoicing at it:

he said I know not;
for when he returned from the pool, Jesus was gone: and so it sometimes is, that when Christ has wrought a good work of grace upon the heart, he withdraws himself for a while, and the converted sinner knows not where he is.

11 Er antwortete und sprach: Der Mensch, der Jesus heißt, machte einen Kot und schmierte meine Augen und sprach: "Gehe hin zu dem Teich Siloah und wasche dich!" Ich ging hin und wusch mich und ward sehend.
12 Da sprachen sie zu ihm: Wo ist er? Er sprach: Ich weiß nicht.
13 Da führten sie ihn zu den Pharisäern, der weiland blind war.
