Commentary
Commentary on John 9:7
Theological / DevotionalSiloant. A pool in the southern part of Jerusalem (see on Isa. 8:6; see Jerusalem in Time of Christ; Josephus War 4.1, 2 [136-141]; 9.4 [409-411]).
By interpretation, Sent. Siloam is a transliteration through the Greek of the Heb. Shiloach, which comes from the verb shalach, “to send.” It was a characteristic of John to supply the meaning of Hebrew proper names for Greek readers (see ch. 1:38, 42). The command to wash in the pool was not because of any healing power in the water itself, but was doubtless because Jesus desired to test the man’s faith. Compare 2 Kings 5:10.
