SEV Biblia, Chapter 9:14
Y era sábado cuando Jesús había hecho el lodo, y le había abierto los ojos.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - John 9:14
Verse 14. It was the Sabbath] Some of the ancient rabbins taught, and they have been followed by some moderns, not much better skilled in physic than themselves, that the saliva is a cure for several disorders of the eyes; but the former held this to be contrary to the law, if applied on the Sabbath. See LIGHTFOOT'S Hor. Talm.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 14. And it was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay , etc.] Which was reckoned a violation of the sabbath, ( John 9:16), and was one reason why they had the man to the Pharisees to be examined, and why they were desirous of knowing where Jesus was: and opened his eyes ; by putting on the clay, and sending him to wash in the Pool of Siloam: nor did the miracle, nor the good done to the man, excuse with them, what they thought a breach of the sabbath.
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.
