John 9:9

John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible · John Gill (1697–1771) · Public Domain

Some said, this is he,.... It is the same man that was blind, and begged:others [said]; in one of Beza's copies it is added "no", and so read the Vulgate Latin, and all the Oriental versions; though they owned and said,he is like him.

This discourse of the neighbours concerning the blind man restored to sight, resembles the talk that generally is among relations, acquaintance, and neighbours, when anyone belonging to them is called by grace, and converted, saying, what is come to such an one?

is he mad or melancholy? he is not the man he was: he is scarcely the same; is it he, or another? what is the matter with him?
