He answered, “I have told you already and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you want to become his disciples, too?”
He poses his question in such a way as to expect a negative answer. He is obviously baiting the Jews and, as we can see from the following verses, quite successfully. This is an unschooled beggar baiting the religious and educational elite of the nation!
The biggest word in this sentence is “too”. The man is now counting himself among the disciples of Jesus, knowing full well the danger of this move. There is a definite and continuing development to his relationship with Jesus. As his knowledge of Jesus increases, so does his devotion to Him. How could it be any other way?
