Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(37) And some of them said.--Better, But some of them said--i.e., another party of the Jews, differing from those mentioned in the last verse.Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the blind . .?--They refer to the greatest miracle which had taken place within the limits of their own knowledge. The other miracles of raising the dead they must have heard of, but had not believed. What they think of here is not raising the dead, but the possibility of preventing death; and their question is meant to imply that He could not have prevented this death. If He could, surely He would have done so for one whom He had loved, and would have come at once, instead of waiting until death had taken place. The inference they would draw is that, after all, the present failure is a proof that He did not open the eyes of the blind.Parallel Commentaries ...GreekButδὲ (de)ConjunctionStrong's 1161: A primary particle; but, and, etc.someΤινὲς (Tines)Interrogative / Indefinite Pronoun - Nominative Masculine PluralStrong's 5100: Any one, some one, a certain one or thing.
