Bible Note: Hi compudex, My comparison is connecting the statements of the Man Jesus Christ and the men among the multitude. The connection was shown by the parentheses around the compared pronouns. The Pharisees or Jews of John 9:15,18 said that they did NOT know where this Man was from. Let me give you a couple verses to compare for the people who DID know where He was from. John 7:27, "Therefore some of the people of Jerusalem were saying, "Is this not the *Man whom they are seeking to kill? And look, He is speaking publicly, and they are saying nothing to (Him). The rulers do not really know that this is the Christ, do they? 27 However, we know where this *Man is from; but whenever the Christ may come, no one knows where He is from." John 6:42, "And they were saying, "Is not this Jesus/ the *Son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How does He now say, "(I) have come down out of heaven?"" John 9:27, "...but as for this *Man, we do not know where (He) is from." The *stars are by pronouns that are not capitalized in the NASB, but which I interpret as speaking of Jesus so I capitalize them. This One that came down from heaven is the Light of the world and is God Himself and His witness is true. We have been taught of God. John 8:14, "Jesus answered and said to them, "Even if I bear witness of (Myself), My witness is true; for I know where I came from, and where I am going; but you do not know where I come from or where I/ am going." John 6:45, "...And they shall all be taught of God/. The parentheses and slashes are mine for comparison and/or contrast. From the heart, Ray |
