This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Is - walketh - whither
The condition of him who hates is viewed as related to being, action, and tendency.
He goeth (ὑπάγει)
Or, is going. See on Joh 6:21; see on Joh 8:21.
Hath blinded (ἐτύφλωσεν)
For the image see Isa 6:10. See on closed, Mat 13:15. Compare Joh 1:5, and see note on κατέλαβεν, overtook; Joh 11:35, Joh 11:40. The aorist tense, blinded, indicates a past, definite, decisive act. When the darkness overtook, it blinded. The blindness is no new state into which he has come.
