SEV Biblia, Chapter 9:13
¶ Llevaron a los fariseos al que antes había sido ciego.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - John 9:13
Verse 13. They brought to the Pharisees] These had the chief rule, and determined all controversies among the people; in every case of religion, their judgment was final: the people, now fully convinced that the man had been cured, brought him to the Pharisees, that they might determine how this was done, and whether it had been done legally.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 13. They brought to the Pharisees , etc.] That is, to the sanhedrim, which chiefly consisted of Pharisees; and so Nonnus calls them the priests and chief priests: him that was aforetime blind ; to be examined by them. And something like this is the method used by carnal relations and friends, who when they have any belonging to them under a work of grace, have them to their learned doctors of a different religion, to talk to them, and dissuade them from the ways of truth and godliness.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 13-17 - Christ not only worked miracles on the sabbath, but in such a manner a would give offence to the Jews, for he would not seem to yield to the scribes and Pharisees. Their zeal for mere rites consumed the substantial matters of religion; therefore Christ would not give plac to them. Also, works of necessity and mercy are allowed, and the sabbath rest is to be kept, in order to the sabbath work. How man blind eyes have been opened by the preaching of the gospel on the Lord's day! how many impotent souls cured on that day! Much unrighteou and uncharitable judging comes from men's adding their own fancies to God's appointments. How perfect in wisdom and holiness was ou Redeemer, when his enemies could find nothing against him, but the oft-refuted charge of breaking the sabbath! May we be enabled, by well-doing, to silence the ignorance of foolish men.
