OET (OET-LV) And they_insulted him, and said:
You are a_apprentice/follower, of_that one, but we are apprentices/followers of_ the _Mōsaʸs/(Mosheh).
OET (OET-RV) Then they insulted him and said, “You might be a follower of that man, but we are followers of Mosheh.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἐκείνου
˱of˲_that_‹one›
Here John records the Jewish leaders saying that one as a disrespectful way to refer to Jesus and to avoid saying his name. If your language has a similar way to refer to someone in an indirect but derogatory manner, you may use it here. Alternate translation: “of that so-and-so”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive
ἡμεῖς δὲ τοῦ Μωϋσέως ἐσμὲν μαθηταί
we but ¬the ˱of˲_Moses are disciples
Here, the pronoun we is exclusive. The Jewish leaders are speaking only of themselves. Your language may require you to mark this form. Alternate translation: “but we true Jews are disciples of Moses”
9:1-41 At the Festival of Shelters (chs 7–8), Jesus claimed to be the light of the world (8:12). Now John tells about Jesus giving light, both physically and spiritually, to a blind man who lived in darkness (see 9:5). The story ends with a splendid reversal of roles: The blind man who was assumed to be in spiritual darkness could see God’s light, whereas the Pharisees, who could see physically and were thought to be enlightened, were shown to be spiritually blind.
