This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Joh 9:4. Νύξ, the night) Christ is the light: when it departs, the night comes, which does not restrain the light, but obscures the earth.-οὐδείς, no man) He does not say, I cannot; but, no man. He Himself could have worked at all times; but yet He observed the seasonable time: John often describes Christ as speaking thus indefinitely concerning things that present themselves, in the way that would become any ordinary pious person in speaking of such matters: ch. Joh 11:9, “Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not,” etc.; Joh 12:24-25, “Except a corn of wheat-die, it abideth alone, but, etc. He that loveth his life, shall lose it,” etc. In fact, Jesus was tempted in all things, but without sin.
