This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

A guide of the blind (hodēgon tuphlōn). Accusative hodēgon in predicate with einai to agree with seauton, accusative of general reference with infinitive einai in indirect discourse after pepoithas. Late word (Polybius, Plutarch) from hodos, way, and hēgeomai, to lead, one who leads the way. Tuphlōn is objective genitive plural. The Jews were meant by God to be guides for the Gentiles, for salvation is of the Jews (Joh 4:22).

A light (phōs). “A light for those in darkness” (tōn en skotei, objective genitive again). But this intention of God about the Jews had resulted in conceited arrogance on their part.
