Footnotes

  1. 44 Or “how he had become able to see.” So the Pharisees asked him. Note the subtlety here: On the surface, the man is being judged. But through him, Jesus is being judged. Yet in reality (as the discerning reader will realize) it is ironically the Pharisees themselves who are being judged by their response to Jesus who is the light of the world (cf. 3:17–21).
  2. 45 Grk “And he said to them.”
  3. 46 Or “clay” (moistened earth of a clay-like consistency).
  4. 47 The word “now” is not in the Greek text, but is supplied to indicate the contrast between the man’s former state (blind) and his present state (able to see).
