Gill's Notes on the Bible
Therefore said they unto him,.... When the case was clear, and it was out of question that he was the man:
how were thine eyes opened? or made to see: they might well ask this question, since such a thing was never known before, that one born blind received his sight; and as great a miracle it is in grace, and as great a mystery to a natural man, how one should be born again, or be spiritually enlightened.
