TSNTyndale Study Notes:

9:17 The man had already identified his healer (9:11, 16). Now he made his own spiritual judgment, calling Jesus a prophet.

TTNTyndale Theme Notes:

John’s Profile of Discipleship

In the first half of his Gospel, John tells about a variety of people who model true discipleship (see John 1:19-51; 4:1-42; 9:1-41). Through them John provides a profile of the mature follower, or “disciple,” of Christ.

What is the profile of a disciple? (1) Disciples know who Jesus is. In each of these three accounts, Jesus is identified correctly (see, e.g., 1:34, 36, 38, 41; 4:19, 29, 31; 9:2, 17, 35-38). (2) Disciples believe in Jesus. They see Jesus’ mighty works, listen to his profound words, and believe (see 1:49; 4:39-42; 9:35-38; see also 20:8, 24-29). (3) Jesus’ disciples understand that they must follow him if their discipleship is to be successful (1:37-43; 8:12; 10:4-5, 27; 12:26; 21:19-22). Following implies genuine devotion, leaving what we have to embrace the journey with Jesus.

John provided this profile of true discipleship because he wanted his readers to join these courageous men and women and become disciples of Jesus as well (see 20:30-31).

Passages for Further Study

Matt 9:9-10; 10:16-22; 16:24-28; Luke 14:26-33; John 8:31-32; 9:1-41; 12:25-26; 13:35; 18:36; Acts 9:2; Rom 15:5; 1 Cor 3:4-11


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / pastforfuture

λέγουσιν

˱they˲_/are/_saying

Here John uses the present tense in past narration in order to call attention to a development in the story.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὅτι ἠνέῳξέν σου τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς

because ˱he˲_opened_up ˱of˲_you the eyes

Because the next verse indicates that the Pharisees did not believe that the man used to be blind, here, since does not mean that they thought the man had really been healed. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: “since you claim that he opened your eyes”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ἠνέῳξέν σου τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς

˱he˲_opened_up ˱of˲_you the eyes

Here, he opened your eyes describes the newly gained ability to see by referring to something associated with vision coming into action, specifically, the eyes. See how you translated a similar phrase in 9:14. Alternate translation: “he caused you to see”
