... And they called the man a second time, him that was blind, and said unto him, Praise God: we know that this [34] man is a sinner. He answered and said unto them, Whether he be a sinner, I know [35] not: I know one thing, that I was blind, and I now see. They said unto him again, [36] [Arabic, p. 139] What did he unto thee? how opened he for thee thine eyes? He said unto them, I said unto you, and ye did not hear: what wish ye further to hear? [37] ye also, do ye wish to become disciples to him?[John 9:28] And they reviled him, and said unto him, Thou art the disciple of that man; but as for us, we are the disciples of [38] Moses. And we know that God spake unto Moses: but this man, we know not [39] whence he is. The man answered and said unto ...

7. “But I am a worm, and no man” (ver. 6). But I, speaking now not in the person of Adam, but I in My own person, Jesus Christ, was born without human generation in the flesh, that I might be as man beyond men; that so at least human pride might deign to imitate My humility. “The scorn of men, and outcast of the people.” In which humility I was made the scorn of men, so as that it should be said, as a reproachful railing, “Be thou His disciple:”[John 9:28] and that the people despise Me.

... glory.’ And what their end is, the prophet foretold, crying, ‘Woe unto their soul, for they have devised an evil thought, saying, let us bind the just man, because he is not pleasing to us.’ The end of such abandonment as this can be nothing but error, as the Lord, when reproving them, saith, ‘Ye do err, not knowing the Scriptures.’ Afterwards when, being reproved, they should have come to their senses, they rather grew insolent, saying, ‘We are Moses’ disciples; and we know that God spake to Moses[John 9:28-29];’ dealing the more falsely by that very expression, and accusing themselves. For had they believed him to whom they hearkened, they would not have denied the Lord, Who spake by Moses, when He was present. Not so did the eunuch in the Acts, for when ...

... such as those. But this sinful woman from the glorious works which our Lord did, believed that He could also forgive sins. For she knew that whoso is able to restore the members of the body, is able also to cleanse away the spots of the soul. But the Pharisee, though he was a teacher, did not know this. For the teachers of Israel were wont to be fools, put to shame by the despised and vile. For they were put to shame by that blind man to whom they said;— We know that this man is a sinner.[John 9:24-31] But he said to them:— How did He open my eyes? lo! God hears not sinners. These are the blind teachers who were made guides to others; and their perverse path was made straight by a blind man.
