Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerses 8-34. - (9) The proof of the reality of the miracle, the antagonism of the Pharisees, and the persecution of the heated mad. Verse 8. - The neighbors therefore, and they who beheld him aforetime that (or, because) he was a beggar. This is the first time that his well-known position is mentioned, and (if we translate ὅτι "because") the very fact of his begging (probably with loud voice) had made him a well-known individual. Said, Is not this he that sat and begged?

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(8) They which before had seen him that he was blind.--The better reading is, that he was a beggar. The persons are the neighbours, who from living near him knew all about him, and those who used to see him at the spot where he sat begging. Both classes, of course, knew that he was blind.Is not this he that sat and begged?--Better, Is not this he that sitteth and beggeth? The tenses are present, marking his usual custom.
