Context of John 9:29
27He answered them, I told you already and ye did not hear: why do ye desire to hear again? do ye also wish to become his disciples? 28They railed at him, and said, Thou art his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses. We know that God spoke to Moses; but [as to] this [man], we know not whence he is. 30The man answered and said to them, Now in this is a wonderful thing, that ye do not know whence he is, and he has opened mine eyes. 31[But] we know that God does not hear sinners; but if any one be God-fearing and do his will, him he hears.

Commentaries on John 9:29
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 29We know not from whence he is - As if they had said: We have the fullest assurance that the commission of Moses was Divine; but we have no proof that this man has such a commission: and should we leave Moses, and attach ourselves to this stranger? No.Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 29We know - We know that God commanded Moses to deliver the law. In that they were correct; but they assumed their interpretation of the law to be infallible, and, hence, condemned Jesus. As for this fellow - The word “fellow” is not in the original. It is simply “this.” The word “fellow” implies contempt, which it cannot be proved they intended to express. Whence he is - We know not his origin, his family, or his home. The contrast with the preceding…Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 24-34Verses 24-34 As Christ's mercies are most valued by those who have felt the want of them, that have been blind, and now see; so the most powerful and lasting affections to Christ, arise from actual knowledge of him. In the work of grace in the soul, though we cannot tell when, and how, and by what steps the blessed change was wrought, yet we may take the comfort, if we can say, through grace, Whereas I was blind, now I see. I did live a worldly, sensual…Read the comment
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 28-29The Pharisees could not argue against the logic of the miracle (9:24–25, 30–33). So they abandoned reason and cursed him (see 9:34). The harsh division between Jesus and the religious leaders was clear. They considered those who followed Jesus to have rejected Moses and Judaism.Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 24-3424-34. Give God the praise; we know that this man is a sinner--not wishing him to own, even to the praise of God, that a miracle had been wrought upon him, but to show more regard to the honor of God than ascribe any such act to one who was a sinner.Read the comment
