ACC ~ John 9 v12

HE DOES NOT KNOW BECAUSE HE WAS BLIND

THEODORE OF MOPSUESTIA: They were asking him, “Where is he?” His reply was that he did not know because he had not seen him, since at the time [of the healing] he was blind. COMMENTARY ON JOHN 4.9.12. [1]

OPENED EYES LATER TESTIFY

EPHREM THE SYRIAN: His saliva was thus the key for closed eyes, for with water he healed the eye. From the water [he formed] clay and brought to wholeness what had been lost. When [later] they were spitting at his face, [1] the blind eyes that had been opened by his saliva would accuse them. COMMENTARY ON TATIAN’S DIATESSARON 16.32. [2]
