People's Commentary (NT)
John 9:3
Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents. Jesus does not affirm
that they were sinless, but that their sins were not the cause of the
calamity. We are not justified in asserting that the sufferer is a
sinner. Job, Christ, Paul, and the whole army of martyrs disprove it.
But that the works of God should be made manifest in him. By his
miraculous cure the work of God shall be made manifest. It is the work
of God to believe on Christ (John 6:29), and the blindness of this
man was the occasion of faith being produced, not only in him, but
others. Thus Christ shows a nobler use of suffering. "The Father
chasteneth every son whom he loveth" (Hebrews 12:6).
