28 Then they hurled insults at him and said, "You are this fellow's disciple! We are disciples of Moses!
28 Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are Moses' disciples.
28 And they reviled him, saying, "You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.
28 With that they jumped all over him. "You might be a disciple of that man, but we're disciples of Moses.
28 Then they reviled him and said, "You are His disciple, but we are Moses' disciples.
28 Then they cursed him and said, "You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses!

Commentary on John 9:24-34
(Read John 9:24-34)
As Christ's mercies are most valued by those who have felt the want of them, that have been blind, and now see; so the most powerful and lasting affections to Christ, arise from actual knowledge of him. In the work of grace in the soul, though we cannot tell when, and how, and by what steps the blessed change was wrought, yet we may take the comfort, if we can say, through grace, Whereas I was blind, now I see. I did live a worldly, sensual life, but, thanks be to God, it is now otherwise with me, Ephesians 5:8. The unbelief of those who enjoy the means of knowledge and conviction, is indeed marvellous. All who have felt the power and grace of the Lord Jesus, wonder at the wilfulness of others who reject him. He argues strongly against them, not only that Jesus was not a sinner, but that he was of God. We may each of us know by this, whether we are of God or not. What do we? What do we for God? What do we for our souls? What do we more than others?
