João 9
Morris notes, “Jesus performed His miracles with a sovereign hand and He cannot be limited by rules of procedure. He cured how He willed.” (See John Commentary) Warren
João 9
Morris has an interesting insight on the little word too - The man did not really expect that people so plainly opposed to Jesus were changing their minds, but he was quite ready to bait them. His “too” is significant. He was now counting himself among Jesus’ disciples. (Borrow The Gospel according to John) Robertson on do not want to become His disciples too (also), do you - Negative answer formally expected, but the keenest irony in this gibe. Clearly the healed man knew from the use of “also” ("too" - kai) that Jesus had some “disciples”....and that the Pharisees knew that fact. “Do ye also (like the Galilean mob) wish, etc.” See 7:45–52. It cut to the bone. F F Bruce - He now displays a hitherto unsuspected capacity for ironical repartee. (Borrow John Commentary page 178) Warren
João 9
Morris comments "the expression seems to have a meaning like “this is the really marvellous thing; your unbelief in the face of the evidence is more of a miracle than my cure!” His “you” is emphatic and may carry some sly irony: “You, the religious experts, cannot work out a simple thing like this?” Borrow The Gospel according to John)
João 9
Morris - His chain of reasoning is complete. Jesus could not possibly have done such a thing,46 a thing unparalleled in all history, unless he were from God (cf. Jn 3:2). For the man the proposition is incontestable. It is not a bad chain of reasoning for one who had hitherto been a beggar all his life, and presumably a stranger to academic and forensic argument. (Borrow The Gospel according to John)
