Contextual Overview

13 They brought to the pharisees, hym that a litle before was blynde. 14 And it was the Sabboth day when Iesus made ye claye, & opened his eyes. 15 Then againe the pharisees also asked hym, howe he had receaued his syght. He sayde vnto them: He put claye vpon myne eyes, and I washed, and do see. 16 Therfore sayde some of the pharisees, this man is not of God, because he kepeth not the Sabboth day. Other said: How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a stryfe among them. 17 They spake vnto the blynde man againe: What sayest thou of him, because he hath opened thyne eyes? He sayde, he is a prophete. 18 But the Iewes dyd not beleue the man, howe that he had ben blynde, and receaued his syght, vntyll they called the father and mother of hym that had receaued his syght: 19 And they asked them, saying: Is this your sonne, whom ye saye was borne blynde? Howe doeth he nowe see then? 20 His father & mother aunswered them, and sayde: We knowe that this is our sonne, and that he was borne blynde: 21 But by what meanes he now seeth, we can not tell: Or who hath opened his eyes, can not we tell. He is olde inough, aske him, let him aunswere for himselfe. 22 Such wordes spake his father & mother, because they feared the Iewes: For the Iewes had decreed alredy, that yf any man dyd confesse that he was Christe, he shoulde be excommunicate out of the synagogue.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

If this man were not of God,.... If he had not his mission, commission, and credentials from God; if he had not been sent by him, and had not authority from him, and was not assisted by him, as man, or God was not with him,

he could do nothing; or "not do these things", as the Syriac version reads; that is, such miraculous works; or, as the Persic version, "he could not do this miracle": open the eyes of a man born blind. His doing this is a full proof that he is of God, and comes from him.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Could do nothing - Could do no such work as this. This reasoning was conclusive. The fact that Jesus could perform miracles like this was full proof that he was commissioned by God - proof that never has been and never can be refuted. One such miracle proves that he was from God. But Jesus gave many similar proofs, and thus put his divine mission beyond the possibility of doubt.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 33. If this man were not of God, c.] A very just conclusion: God is the fountain of all good: all good must proceed from him, and no good can be done but through him if this person were not commissioned by the good God, he could not perform such beneficent miracles as these.
