ἐλοιδόρησαν. The word occurs here only in the Gospels: comp. 1 Peter 2:23. Argument fails, so they resort to abuse.

ἐκείνου. That man’s disciple: the pronoun expresses that they have nothing to do with Him: comp. John 9:12; John 7:12; John 19:21.

The pronouns are emphatic in both John 9:28 and John 9:29 : ‘Thou art His disciple; but we are Moses’ disciples. We know that God hath spoken to Moses; but as for this fellow, &c.’ See on John 9:16 and John 1:17.
