Matthew Poole and continuators on John 9:14

14 And it was the sabbath-day when Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes .

It was observed before, That Christ made choice of the Sabbath-day, as the day wherein he did many of his mighty Works. It was on the Sabbath-day that he cured the impotent man who lay at the Pool of Bethesda, Chap. 5.10. and upon the Sabbath-day, that he cured him who had the Withered Hand, Matth. 12.10. And now again upon the Sabbath-day that he cured him who was born blind; possibly he chose that day, because that was a day wherein he ordinarily Preached that heavenly Doctrine, which he confirmed by these Miraculous Works: or perhaps, that he might take occasion from thence to instruct the Iews, if they would have received Instruction in the true Doctrine of the Sabbath; that they might not superstitiously think, that it was not lawful to do acts of mercy on the Sabbath-day ▪ certain it is, that himself maketh that improvement of it, Matth. 12. Or to shew them, that he was Lord of the Sabbath; and that as his Father by his Works of Providence worketh on the Sabbath-day; so did he, being equal with his Father: by which Argument he afore defended himself, for the cure of the impotent man on the Sabbath-day, Iohn 5.17.
