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&c.] For Christ had withdrawn himself and was gone; whether on account of the Jews, who he knew would be irritated by this miracle, or whether to avoid all popular applause and glory, which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.

Johannes 9:12 In-Context

10 Zij dan zeiden tot hem: Hoe zijn u de ogen geopend?
11 Hij antwoordde en zeide: De Mens, genaamd Jezus, maakte slijk, en bestreek mijn ogen, en zeide tot mij: Ga heen naar het badwater Siloam, en was u. En ik ging heen, en wies mij, en ik werd ziende.
12 Zij dan zeiden tot hem: Waar is Die? Hij zeide: Ik weet het niet.
13 Zij brachten hem tot de Farizeen, hem namelijk, die te voren blind geweest was.
14 En het was sabbat, als Jezus het slijk maakte, en zijn ogen opende.
