Fact Jesus Speaketh Speaking Speaks Talketh Talking
John 9
1. The man born blind is restored to sight.
8. He is brought to the Pharisees.
13. They are offended at it;
35. but he is received of Jesus, and confesses him.
39. Who they are whom Jesus enlightens.














You have already seen Him
This phrase is a profound declaration by Jesus, emphasizing the revelation of His identity to the man born blind. The Greek word for "seen" is "ἑώρακας" (heōrakas), which implies not just physical sight but also spiritual insight. In the context of the Gospel of John, seeing often symbolizes understanding or recognizing Jesus' divine nature. Historically, this moment is significant because it follows the miraculous healing of the blind man, which serves as a sign pointing to Jesus as the Light of the World. Theologically, it underscores the theme of spiritual enlightenment, where physical sight is a metaphor for spiritual awakening and recognition of Jesus as the Messiah.

Jesus answered
The act of Jesus answering is significant in the narrative. The Greek word "ἀπεκρίθη" (apekrithē) indicates a response that is authoritative and revelatory. In the broader scriptural context, Jesus' answers often reveal deeper truths about His mission and identity. Here, His response is not just to the man's question but to his spiritual need for understanding and faith. This interaction highlights Jesus' role as the divine teacher and revealer of truth, fulfilling the prophetic expectations of the Messiah who would open the eyes of the blind, both physically and spiritually.

He is the One speaking with you
This phrase is a direct and personal revelation of Jesus' identity to the man. The Greek construction "ἐκεῖνός ἐστιν ὁ λαλῶν μετὰ σοῦ" (ekeinos estin ho lalōn meta sou) emphasizes the immediacy and personal nature of the encounter. "He is the One" points to Jesus as the fulfillment of messianic prophecies, the awaited Savior. The act of speaking "μετὰ σοῦ" (meta sou) signifies a relational and intimate communication. In the historical and scriptural context, this moment is pivotal as it transitions the man from physical healing to spiritual recognition and worship of Jesus. It reflects the broader Johannine theme of Jesus as the Word made flesh, who dwells among us and reveals God personally to each believer.

(37) Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee.--The answer reminds us of that to the woman of Samaria, "I that speak unto thee am He" (John 4:26); but here both the sense of sight and that of hearing are appealed to as conveying knowledge to the mind. There is a special fitness in the emphasis thus laid upon the seeing Him, in the case of one whose very power to see was witness to the presence of the Messiah. The words do not refer to any earlier meeting, but the perfect tense refers to the completion of the act of vision and the abiding impression.

Verse 37. - [And] Jesus said, Thou hast both seen him, with the eyes so recently opened. Hast thou not found out that I am thy Healer, thy Prophet, thy Messiah? The ἑώρακας refers to the present interview, not to any previous one; for we are not told that he had already sought or found his Benefactor (Lucke, Meyer, Luthardt). Thou hast seen him with the eyes of thy spirit as well as the eyes of flesh, and, in addition, he that talketh with thee, familiarly as man with man, is he - "that sublime Person who seems to stand far off from thought and experience" (Westcott). The ἐκεῖνος of this passage and John 19:35 also is a fairly classical usage for expressing, in the lips of the speaker, a reference to himself pointed at and presented objectively as a third person (see Meyer, and our note on John 19:35, and its bearing on the authorship of the Gospel). Nowhere does our Lord more openly admit that he as the Christ, the Son of God. The disciples scarcely rise beyond the climax of this revelation even on the night of the Passion. The man's faith was waiting for its Object, and the vision comes to his unscaled spiritual vision.
