Definition: Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eyes?

Explanation: Okay, let’s break down this famous verse from John 9:26. It's a really interesting and somewhat mysterious passage that gets at the core of God’s love and concern for us. Here's what it means in simple terms: The Basic Idea: Jesus is asking about how he was blind. He’s essentially saying, “Can you explain to me how you were blind?” Let’s unpack it layer by layer: “Then said they to him again, What did he do to thee?” - This isn't a question of what happened to him. It's a questioning about the effect of something. They're trying to understand why he was blind. “How opened thine eyes?” – This is the key part. “Opened” means to let something in. So, they’re asking: "How did you allow your eyes to open?" Now, here’s what it suggests about Jesus' actions: The verse implies that Jesus was doing something – perhaps a miracle or an act of kindness – that allowed him to see. It suggests he wasn’t just physically blind; he had a spiritual blindness (a lack of understanding). Why is this important? This isn’t about a simple accident. It's a powerful symbol of: God’s boundless love: Jesus was so concerned with us that he took the time to truly understand our situation, even when we couldn’t see him clearly. The power of grace: It shows that God’s love isn't just about giving us sight; it’s about opening our hearts and minds to receive His gift of understanding and faith. In a nutshell, the verse is a reminder that God cares deeply for us and wants to help us see the truth. --- Do you want me to: Explain another part of this verse? Connect it to a particular theological concept (like grace)? Give you some context about why this passage is significant in biblical interpretation?
