Exegesis

The interrogative adverb pos {πῶς | pṓs} ‘how’ introduces a manner question, leading into the passive aorist eneoichthesan {ἠνεῴχθησαν | ē-ne-ōi-ch-thē-san} ‘were opened,’ which focuses on the eyes as recipients of divine action.

In contextJohn 9:10

So they kept asking him, “In what way were your eyes opened?”
