Recall that Jesus had just addressed the Pharisees in John 9:41+ declaring “If you were blind, you would have no sin; but since you say, ‘We see,’ your sin remains." This chapter will in a sense "test" whether they truly see! And after presenting a simple figure of speech, we see that they completely fail the test (Jn 10:6+)! The audience then would include the Pharisees, the healed born again blind nameless blind man, Jesus' disciples and the other Jews who had gathered around in John 9. Lenski further notes that the Pharisees "posed as men who "see" and who "know" over against the common people (ὁ ὄχλος) who do "not know" the law, and whom they thus look down upon as accursed (see Jn 7:49+), among them being this wretched beggar: "and dost thou teach us (Jn 9:34+)?" Thus these Pharisees set themselves up as the only true teachers and leaders of the people (Ro 2:19, 20+). In reality they were pseudo-teachers and pseudo-leaders. So Jesus continues and now treats these Pharisees in their damnable influence and work upon others." (See page 710 Interpretation of St John's Gospel) R C
