SEV Biblia, Chapter 9:27
Les respondi: Ya os lo he dicho, y lo habis oído; ¿qu ms queris oír? ¿Queris tambin vosotros haceros sus discípulos?
Clarke's Bible Commentary - John 9:27
Verse 27. I have told you already] So he did, ver. 15. And did ye not hear? Ye certainly did. Why then do you wish to hear it again? Is it because ye wish to become his disciples? The poor man continued steady in his testimony; and, by putting this question to them, he knew he should soon put an end to the debate.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 27. He answered them, I have told you already , etc.]. As he had, ( John 9:15), and ye did not hear ; the Vulgate Latin version reads, and ye have heard; and so some copies of Stephenss; that is, an account had been given of the manner how his eyes were opened, and they had heard the account with their bodily ears, though not with the ears of their minds; and therefore, according to most copies and versions, it is read, ye did not hear; did not regard it, or give credit to it; and so the Persic version renders it, and ye have not believed; they would not believe the man had been blind, until they sent for his parents; much less would they believe the account of his cure: wherefore would ye hear it again ? once is sufficient, especially since the former account has been disregarded and discredited: their view could not be their own information but to baffle and confound the man, if they could. The Syriac, Arabic, and Ethiopic versions leave out the word again, and only read, wherefore would ye hear? what end can you have in it? of what avail would it be? or what purpose can be answered by it? will ye also be his disciples ? as many whom you call ignorant and accursed people are, and as I myself desire to be. This he might say either in an ironical and sarcastic way; or else seriously, suggesting, that if they were willing to examine into this fact, with upright views and sincere intentions, that should it appear to be a true miracle, they would become the disciples and followers of Jesus, then he would, with all his heart, relate the account to them over and over again, or as often as they pleased.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 24-34 - As Christ's mercies are most valued by those who have felt the want of them, that have been blind, and now see; so the most powerful an lasting affections to Christ, arise from actual knowledge of him. I the work of grace in the soul, though we cannot tell when, and how, an by what steps the blessed change was wrought, yet we may take the comfort, if we can say, through grace, Whereas I was blind, now I see I did live a worldly, sensual life, but, thanks be to God, it is no otherwise with me, Eph 5:8. The unbelief of those who enjoy the mean of knowledge and conviction, is indeed marvellous. All who have fel the power and grace of the Lord Jesus, wonder at the wilfulness of others who reject him. He argues strongly against them, not only tha Jesus was not a sinner, but that he was of God. We may each of us know by this, whether we are of God or not. What do we? What do we for God What do we for our souls? What do we more than others?
