Expositor's Bible Commentary Commentary John 9:27

"He answered them, I told you even now, and ye did not hear; wherefore would ye hear it again? would ye also become his disciples?" — John 9:27 (ASV)

Their incessant questioning exhausted his patience, and he indulged in some sarcasm by insinuating that their repeated inquiries showed an interest in becoming disciples of Jesus.
