John 9:38 Meaning and Commentary

John 9:38

And he said, Lord, I believe
He immediately found faith in his soul, and that in exercise, moving towards, and acting upon Christ, as the Son of God, and true Messiah, for everlasting life and salvation; and as soon as he did perceive it, he made an open and hearty profession of it:

and he worshipped him:
as God, with religious worship and adoration, not only trusting in him, but ascribing honour, glory, and blessing to him, which are due to God only, and not a creature.

John 9:38 In-Context

36 ἀπεκρίθη ἐκεῖνος καὶ εἶπεν · Καὶ τίς ἐστιν, κύριε, ἵνα πιστεύσω εἰς αὐτόν;

37 εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς · Καὶ ἑώρακας αὐτὸν καὶ ὁ λαλῶν μετὰ σοῦ ἐκεῖνός ἐστιν.

38 ὁ δὲ ἔφη · Πιστεύω, κύριε · καὶ προσεκύνησεν αὐτῷ.

39 καὶ εἶπεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς · Εἰς κρίμα ἐγὼ εἰς τὸν κόσμον τοῦτον ἦλθον, ἵνα οἱ μὴ βλέποντες βλέπωσιν καὶ οἱ βλέποντες τυφλοὶ γένωνται.

40 ἤκουσαν ἐκ τῶν Φαρισαίων ταῦτα οἱ μετ’ αὐτοῦ ὄντες, καὶ εἶπον αὐτῷ · Μὴ καὶ ἡμεῖς τυφλοί ἐσμεν;
