Wesley's Notes for John 9:32

9:30 The man answered - Utterly illiterate as he was. And with what strength and clearness of reason! So had God opened the eyes of his understanding, as well as his bodily eyes. Why, herein is a marvellous thing, that ye - The teachers and guides of the people, should not know, that a man who has wrought a miracle, the like of which was never heard of before, must be from heaven, sent by God.

9:31 We - Even we of the populace, know that God heareth not sinners - Not impenitent sinners, so as to answer their prayers in this manner. The honest courage of this man in adhering to the truth, though he knew the consequence, #John 9:22|, gives him claim to the title of a confessor.

9:33 He could do nothing - Of this kind; nothing miraculous.

9:34 Born in sin - And therefore, they supposed, born blind. They cast him out - Of the synagogue; excommunicated him.
