Therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. “He put mud on my eyes,” the man replied, “and I washed, and now I see.”
The Pharisees do not congratulate the man on being healed and given sight; they are not joining him in his joy. In fact, they don’t really care about the man at all; they are consumed with their hatred of Jesus and their fear of Him and how He may upset their position and the religion they have set up.
