On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

He anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay - This might almost have blinded a man that had sight. But what could it do toward curing the blind? It reminds us that God is no farther from the event, when he works either with, or without means, and that all the creatures are only that which his almighty operation makes them.

John Wesley (NT Notes)· Explanatory Notes upon the Bible, 1765evangelical

The design of the gospel is to open men's eyes, Acts xxvi. Now the eye-salve that does the work is of Christ's preparing; it is made up, not as this, of his spittle, but of his blood, the blood and water that came out of his pierced side; we must come to Christ for the eye-salve, Rev. iii.
