ACC ~ John 9 v36

HE RECOGNIZES THE VOICE

THEODORE OF MOPSUESTIA: The blind man, recognizing his voice—remember he had not seen him yet—said, “And who is he, sir? Tell me, so that I may believe in him.” With good reason he thought that he who had given him sight even though he was beyond hope could also show him the Son of God. COMMENTARY ON JOHN 4.9.34-37.

A BEGINNER’S CONFESSION OF FAITH

ORIGEN: Since he could not yet say “I believe” but as in ignorance answered, “Who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him?” he was therefore on the borderline, so to speak, between unbelief and belief. FRAGMENT 71 ON THE GOSPEL OF JOHN. [1]
