From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Verse 36. Who is he? It is probable that the man did not know that ho who now addressed him was the same who had healed him. He had not yet seen him (Joh 9:7), but he was prepared to acknowledge him when he did see him. He inquired, therefore, who the person was, or wished that he might be pointed out to him, that he might see him. This passage shows that he was disposed to believe, and had a strong desire to see and hear the Son of God. Lord.
