SEV Biblia, Chapter 9:28

Y le maldijeron, y dijeron: T seas su discípulo; pero nosotros discípulos de Moiss somos.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - John 9:28

Verse 28. Then they
reviled him] eloidorhsan. Eustathius derives loidoria from logov, a word, and doru, a spear:-they spoke cutting, piercing words. Solomon talks of some who spoke like the piercings of a sword, Prov. xii. 18. And the psalmist speaks of words that are like drawn swords, Psa. lv. 21, words which show that the person who speaks them has his heart full of murderous intentions; and that, if he had the same power with a sword as he has with his tongue, he would destroy him whom he thus reproaches.

We are Moses' disciples.] By this they meant that they were genuine Pharisees; for they did not allow the Sadducees to be disciples of Moses.


John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 28. Then they reviled him , etc.] Called him an impertinent, saucy, impudent fellow, for talking in this pert manner to them, the great sanhedrim of the nation; or, as the Vulgate Latin version reads, they cursed him; they thundered out their anathemas against him, and pronounced him an execrable and an accursed fellow: and said, thou art his disciple ; for they looked upon it a reproach and scandal to be called a disciple of Jesus of Nazareth; though there is nothing more honourable than to be a follower of him the Lamb whithersoever he goes: wherefore these Jews threw off what they thought a term of reproach from themselves to the blind man; and perhaps they might say this to ensnare him, hoping that he would own himself to be a disciple of Jesus, and profess him to be the Christ, that they might, according to their own act, excommunicate him. The Vulgate Latin, Persic, and Ethiopic versions read, be thou his disciple; if thou wilt, we despise the character; far be it from us that we should be followers of him: but we are Mosess disciples . Thus they preferred Moses to Christ, and chose to be the disciples of Moses the servant, rather than of Christ the Son; though indeed they were not the genuine disciples of Moses; for if they had, they would have been the disciples of Christ, and believers in him, since Moses wrote and testified of him: they might indeed be so far the disciples of Moses, or of his law, since they sought for righteousness and justification by obedience to his law. This was a phrase in use among the Jews: so the Targumist on ( Numbers 3:2) says, these are the names of they sons of Aaron the priests, hmd aydymlt , the disciples of Moses, the master of the Israelites; particularly the Pharisees, as here, claimed this title to themselves: for it is said f445 , all the seven days (before the day of atonement) they delivered to him (the high priest) two of the disciples of the wise men, to instruct him in the service (of that day), who were, hm l wydymltm , of the disciples of Moses, in opposition to the Sadducees: from whence it appears, that these disciples of Moses were of the sect of the Pharisees, who assumed this character as peculiar to themselves; sometimes they call themselves the disciples of Abraham, though the description they give of such, by no means belongs to them; (see Gill on John 8:39). They say f446 , whoever has three things in him, is hrba l wydymltm , of the disciples of Abraham our father, and who has three other things is of the disciples of Balaam the wicked: he that has a good eye, (beneficence, or temperance, or contentment,) a lowly spirit, and an humble soul, he is of the disciples of Abraham our father; but he that has evil eye, and a proud spirit, and a large soul (lustful or covetous), is of the disciples of Balaam.

This last character best agrees with those very persons, who would be thought to be the disciples of Abraham and of Moses.


Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 24-34 - As Christ's mercies are most valued by those who have felt the want of them, that have been blind, and now see; so the most powerful an lasting affections to Christ, arise from actual knowledge of him. I the work of grace in the soul, though we cannot tell when, and how, an by what steps the blessed change was wrought, yet we may take the comfort, if we can say, through grace, Whereas I was blind, now I see I did live a worldly, sensual life, but, thanks be to God, it is no otherwise with me, Eph 5:8. The unbelief of those who enjoy the mean of knowledge and conviction, is indeed marvellous. All who have fel the power and grace of the Lord Jesus, wonder at the wilfulness of others who reject him. He argues strongly against them, not only tha Jesus was not a sinner, but that he was of God. We may each of us know by this, whether we are of God or not. What do we? What do we for God What do we for our souls? What do we more than others?

Vincent's NT Word Studies

28.
Reviled (eloidorhsan). The verb means to reproach or scold in a loud and abusive manner. Calvin, on 1 Cor. iv. 12, "being reviled we bless," remarks: "Loidoria is a harsher railing, which not only rebukes a man, but also sharply bites him, and stamps him with open contumely. Hence loidorein is to wound a man as with an accursed sting."

His disciple (maqhthv ekeinou). Literally, that man's disciple. The pronoun has a contemptuous force which is not given by his.
