General Remarks on the Miracle
W. H. Van Doren, D. D. John 9:1-25 And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.… More miracles are recorded as to the blind than any other disease. One of palsy, one of dropsy, two of leprosy, two of fever. Three dead were raised, but four blind were restored to sight. Some writers extend the number to six (Matthew 12:22). Isaiah alludes oftener to curing the blind than to the removal of any other form of misery. This miracle strikes us with the greater power — the only one born blind (ver. 82). (W. H. Van Doren, D. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth. WEB: As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth.
