17: λεγουσιν τω τυφλω παλιν συ τι λεγεις περι αυτου οτι ηνοιξεν σου τους οφθαλμους ο δε ειπεν οτι προφητης εστιν— edit Textus Receptus
17: They say unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is a prophet.- edit KJV text
17: They say therefore to the blind man again: What sayest thou of him that hath opened thy eyes? And he said: He is a prophet.— edit Douay text


What sayest thou of him? &c. The translation here expresses the sense obscurely. The meaning is, "What sayest thou of him for giving thee sight ?" (Campbell); or, "What opinion of him hath this work of power and mercy to thee wrought in thee?" (Hammond).

He is a prophet. That is, "I think that the power to work such a miracle proves that he is sent from God. And though this has been done on the Sabbath, yet it proves that he must have been sent by God, for such a power could never have proceeded from man."

  • "He is a prophet" Jn 4:19
