John 9:39 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind. For judgment I am come - I am come to manifest and execute the just judgment of God:

1. By giving sight to the blind, and light to the Gentiles who sit in darkness.

2. By removing the true light from those who, pretending to make a proper use of it, only abuse the mercy of God.

In a word, salvation shall be taken away from the Jews, because they reject it; and the kingdom of God shall be given to the Gentiles.

John 9:39

39 And Jesus said,For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind.
