This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
They reviled him (eloidorēsan auton). First aorist active indicative of loidoreō, old verb from loidoros (reviler, 1Co 5:11), in N.T. only here, Act 23:4; 1Co 4:12; 1Pe 2:23.
Thou art his disciple (su mathētēs ei ekeinou). Probably a fling in ekeinou (of that fellow). He had called him a prophet (Joh 9:17) and became a joyful follower later (Joh 9:36-38).
But we are disciples of Moses (hēmeis de tou Mōuseōs esmen mathētai). This they said with proud scorn of the healed beggar. All orthodox rabbis so claimed.
