Context

John 9:38 should be read within the flow of its chapter and the larger argument of John.

Common Interpretations

Restored reading: "...he bowed in reverence before Him." Following Jesus revealing His identity, the man's response is personal, not ritualistic — an act of reverent acknowledgment. Proskuneō here reflects both belief and humble homage: a spontaneous act of honor rooted in faith, not part of a service.
