John 9:32 |
Next Verse |
Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind.
Note 10 at Jn. 9:32: This was the fifth person that Jesus had healed who was blind (see note 1 at Mk. 8:22, p. 199). The only Old Testament example of blindness being healed was in 2 Kings 6:18-20 where the Lord smote the entire Syrian army with blindness and then opened their eyes. (This was not a blessing but rather a curse [see note 2 at Jn. 9:2, p. 237].) This was unprecedented in history and yet the Jewish rulers didn't believe Jesus was of God.
