Context — The Pharisees Investigate the Healing

15So the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. The man answered, “He put mud on my eyes, and I washed, and now I can see.” 16Because of this, some of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, for He does not keep the Sabbath.” But others said, “How can a sinful man perform such signs?” And there was division among them.

17So once again they asked the man who had been blind, “What do you say about Him, since it was your eyes He opened?” “He is a prophet,” the man replied.

18The Jews still did not believe that the man had been blind and had received his sight until they summoned his parents 19and asked, “Is this your son, the one you say was born blind? So how is it that he can now see?”

John 9:17 Summary

In John 9:17, the man who had been blind tells the Pharisees that Jesus is a prophet because He healed his blindness. This shows that the man had come to trust and believe in Jesus, even if others were unsure. We can learn from the man's example by being confident in our own faith and experiences with Jesus, and by sharing our testimony with others (as seen in Psalm 66:16 and Acts 4:20). By doing so, we can help others come to know Jesus as their prophet, Savior, and Lord.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why did the Pharisees ask the man who had been blind about Jesus again?

The Pharisees asked the man about Jesus again because they were divided among themselves about who Jesus was, as seen in John 9:16, and they were trying to understand the man's perspective on Jesus since he had been healed by Him.

What did the man who had been blind mean by saying Jesus is a prophet?

By saying Jesus is a prophet, the man who had been blind meant that Jesus had spoken the truth and performed a miraculous sign, as prophets in the Bible often did, such as in Deuteronomy 18:15 and Isaiah 35:5-6.

Why is this verse important in the context of Jesus' ministry?

This verse is important because it shows how Jesus' miracles and teachings were causing people to recognize Him as a prophet and potentially the Messiah, as seen in John 1:21 and Matthew 11:9-10.

How does this verse relate to our understanding of faith and doubt?

This verse relates to our understanding of faith and doubt because it shows how the man who had been blind was willing to stand up for what he knew to be true about Jesus, despite the doubts and questions of the Pharisees, much like the apostle Thomas in John 20:25-29.

Reflection Questions

What are some ways that I can, like the man who had been blind, confidently share my own experiences and testimony about Jesus with others?
How can I, like the Pharisees, be careful not to let my own doubts and questions about Jesus lead me away from the truth?
What are some areas in my life where I need to trust in Jesus as a prophet and Savior, and how can I take steps to deepen my faith in Him?
How can I balance my own understanding of Jesus with the potential doubts and questions of those around me, and how can I lovingly and respectfully share my faith with them?

Gill's Exposition on John 9:17

They say unto the blind man again,.... After they had discoursed among themselves, and could not agree about the author of the miracle, they turn to him that had been blind, who is called the blind

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on John 9:17

They say unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is a prophet. They say unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thine eyes?

Matthew Poole's Commentary on John 9:17

What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thine eyes? What opinion hast thou of this man, who hath opened thine eyes? To make the question perfect, interpreters think, there ought to be this supplement, on the sabbath day. What dost thou think of such a man as this, who would make clay, and apply it to thy cure upon the sabbath day? How can such a act be defended? The blind man answered, He is a prophet. It was taken for granted by the Jews, according to their traditions, that at the command of a prophet it was lawful to violate the sabbath; which indeed is no more than, that God hath not, in giving us a law, bound up himself, but he may dispense with his own law. Their prophets had an extraordinary mission from God, and immediately revealed the will of God; so as they looked upon what they said as spoken by God himself. The blind man declareth, that he believed that Christ was a prophet; and being so, his words and actions had an extraordinary warrant, and therefore were not to be judged by ordinary rules.

Trapp's Commentary on John 9:17

17 They say unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is a prophet. Ver. 17. He is a prophet] The more the Pharisees opposed the truth, the more it appeared. Veritas abscondi erubeseit, saith Tertullian. The Reformation was much furthered in Germany by the Papists’ opposition. Among many others two kings wrote against Luther, viz. Henry VIII of England and Ludovicus of Hungary. This kingly title being entered into the controversy, made men more curious. And as it happeneth in combats that the onlookers are ready to favour the weaker and to extol his actions, though they be but mean; so here it stirred up a general inclination toward Luther, saith the author of the Hist. of the Council of Trent. Luther also in an epistle to the Elector of Saxony, triumpheth and derideth the foolish wisdom of the Papists in causing him and the other Protestant princes to rehearse the confession of their faith in a public assembly of the States of Germany, and in sending copies thereof to all the courts of Christendom for advice; whereby the Gospel was more propagated, and the cause of Christ more advanced, than if many preachers had been sent out and licensed.

Ellicott's Commentary on John 9:17

(17) They say unto the blind man again.—The question is not asked by either of the parties, for this must have been noted, but by the assembly generally. They who questioned him in John 9:15, question him again now. They have differed among themselves, and they ask what impression the fact of the miracle had left upon him who was the object of it, with regard to the person of Him who had performed it. What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thine eyes?—Stress is laid on the pronoun. What sayest thou? He ought to know better than any one, seeing that his eyes had been opened and this they admit, while the nature of his witness is uncertain; but immediately that is given they disbelieve the fact of the miracle, and soon reject with scorn him they question now (John 9:34). The English reader should observe the punctuation here, which rightly makes the question one. It is sometimes read as though it were, “What sayest thou of Him? that He hath opened thine eyes?” It is not, however, the fact which is here questioned, but the opinion of the man, based upon the fact, for the present assumed as true, which is called for. He is a prophet.—The education of the man has been doing its work, and he is convinced that the power which has healed him is direct from God, and that the person who has exercised it is a messenger from God. His words are uttered in the brevity and calmness of clear conviction, and they are the direct negative to the statement of the Pharisees, “This man is not from God.” (Comp John 3:2; John 4:19; John 6:14.) It is important to note, that even in the language of the ordinary people, the word “prophet” did not mean simply a predictor of events in the future, but one who was as the representative of God. He was not only or chiefly a “fore-teller,” but a “forth-teller,” declaring God’s truth, revealing His will and character, bearing the witness of divine works; but as the future is ever present to the divine counsels, prophecy, in the narrower sense, may be part of the work of the true prophet.

Adam Clarke's Commentary on John 9:17

Verse 17. He is a prophet.] They had intended to lay snares for the poor man, that, getting him to acknowledge Christ for the Messiah, they might put him out of the synagogue, John 9:22, or put him to death, that such a witness to the Divine power of Christ might not appear against them. But, as the mercy of God had given him his sight, so the wisdom of God taught him how to escape the snares laid for his ruin. On all thy glory there shall be a defense, says the prophet, Isaiah 4:5. When God gives any particular mercy or grace, he sends power to preserve it, and wisdom to improve it. The man said, He is a prophet. Now, according to a Jewish maxim, a prophet might dispense with the observation of the Sabbath. See Grotius. If they allow that Jesus was a prophet, then, even in their sense, he might break the law of the Sabbath, and be guiltless: or, if they did not allow him to be a prophet, they must account for the miracle some other way than by the power of God; as from Satan or his agents no good can proceed - to do this it was impossible. So the wisdom of God taught the poor man to give them such an answer as put them into a complete dilemma, from which they could not possibly extricate themselves.

Cambridge Bible on John 9:17

17. There being a division among them they appeal to the man himself, each side wishing to gain him. ‘They’ includes both sides, the whole body of Pharisees present. Their question is not twofold, but single; not, ‘What sayest thou of Him? that He hath opened thine eyes?’ but What sayest thou of Him, because He opened thine eyes? ‘Thou’ is emphatic; ‘thou shouldest know something of Him.’ They do not raise the question of fact; the miracle as yet is not in dispute. His answer shews that only one question is asked, and that it is not the question of fact.He is a prophet] i.e. one sent by God to declare His will; a man with a special and Divine mission; not necessarily predicting the future. Comp. John 4:19, John 3:2.

Barnes' Notes on John 9:17

What sayest thou of him? ... - The translation here expresses the sense obscurely.

Whedon's Commentary on John 9:17

17. What sayest thou of him, [in view of the matter,] that he hath opened— This shows that there is but one question. And the crooked question brings a straight answer.
