SEV Biblia, Chapter 9:30

Les respondi� aquel hombre, y les dijo: Por cierto, maravillosa cosa es �sta, que vosotros no sab�is de d�nde sea, y a mí me abri� los ojos.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - John 9:30

Verse 30. Why herein is a marvellous thing] As if he had said, This is wonderful indeed! Is it possible that such persons as you are, whose business it is to distinguish good from evil, and who pretend to know a true from a false prophet, cannot decide in a case so plain? Has not the man opened my eyes? Is not the miracle known to all the town; and could any one do it who was not endued with the power of God?

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 30. The man answered and said unto them , etc.] Very appropriately and pertinently, why herein is a marvellous thing ; strange and unaccountable, that ye know not from whence he is ; that you learned doctors, men of sagacity and penetration, should not be able to discern that this man is of God, is a prophet sent by him, and that there should be any doubt from whence he comes, or from whom he has his commission: and [yet] he hath opened mine eyes ; which was so clearly and plainly the work of the Messiah, and to be done by him when he came, ( Isaiah 35:4,5 42:7).

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

30. A marvelous thing (qaumaston). The correct reading adds the article, the marvel. So Rev.

Ye know not. Ye is emphatic: ye who might be expected to know about a man who has wrought such a miracle.

And yet (kai). See on viii. 20; i. 10.
