John 9:33

"Since the world began it has never been heard of that anyone opened the eyes of someone born blind."

Key Reflection

In John 9:33, Jesus emphasizes the uniqueness of His miracles by stating that no one had ever before healed a person born blind, highlighting the extraordinary nature of his work as a sign of divine authority. This event underscores the idea that true spiritual insight, like physical healing, is often unexpected and unprecedented in the world's history.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Verse 33. Could do nothing. Could do no such work as this. This reasoning was conclusive. The fact that Jesus could perform miracles like this was full proof that never has been and never can be refuted. One such miracle proves that he was from God. But Jesus gave many similar proofs, and thus put his divine mission beyond the possibility of doubt. __________________________________________________________________
