Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

herein: John 3:10, John 12:37, Isaiah 29:14, Mark 6:6

and yet: Psalms 119:18, Isaiah 29:18, Isaiah 35:5, Matthew 11:5, Luke 7:22, 2 Corinthians 4:6

Reciprocal: 1 Samuel 25:11 - whom Proverbs 23:9 - he Matthew 21:27 - We cannot tell John 3:2 - for John 5:15 - which John 5:36 - the works John 8:14 - but John 9:16 - This man John 9:25 - one John 19:9 - Whence Galatians 1:6 - marvel

Gill's Notes on the Bible

The man answered and said unto them,.... Very appropriately and pertinently,

why herein is a marvellous thing; strange and unaccountable,

that ye know not from whence he is; that you learned doctors, men of sagacity and penetration, should not be able to discern that this man is of God, is a prophet sent by him, and that there should be any doubt from whence he comes, or from whom he has his commission:

and [yet] he hath opened mine eyes; which was so clearly and plainly the work of the Messiah, and to be done by him when he came,

Isaiah 35:4.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

A marvelous thing - This is wonderful and amazing.

Know not from whence he is - That you cannot perceive that he who has performed such a miracle must be from God.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 30. Why herein is a marvellous thing — As if he had said, This is wonderful indeed! Is it possible that such persons as you are, whose business it is to distinguish good from evil, and who pretend to know a true from a false prophet, cannot decide in a case so plain? Has not the man opened my eyes? Is not the miracle known to all the town; and could any one do it who was not endued with the power of God?
