10 Therefore they said to him, How be thine eyes opened?

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 And so neighbours, and they that had seen him before, for he was a beggar, said, Whether this is not he, that sat, and begged?
9 Other men said, That this it is; and other men said, Nay, but he is like him. But he said, I am [he].
10 Therefore they said to him, How be thine eyes opened?
11 He answered, That man, that is said Jesus, made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said to me, Go thou to the water of Siloam, and wash [Go thou to the water, or cistern, of Siloam, and wash]; and I went, and washed, and saw.
12 And they said to him, Where is he? He said, I know not.
