Two Blind Men Healed

27 When Jesus departed from there, atwo blind men followed Him, crying out and saying, b“Son of David, have mercy on us!”  
28 And when He had come into the house, the blind men came to Him. And Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” They said to Him, “Yes, Lord.”
29 Then He touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith let it be to you.”
30 And their eyes were opened. And Jesus sternly warned them, saying, a“See that no one knows it.”  
31 aBut when they had departed, they1 spread the news about Him in all that2 country.

Barnes' Notes
<< Matthew 9:28   Matthew 9:30 >>


Matthew 9:29

Then touched he their eyes - Simply to indicate that the power proceeded from him. Compare Matthew 8:3.

According to your faith ... - That is, you have "believed" that you could be healed, be healed accordingly. Your faith covered the whole extent of the work respecting my power and the absolute restoration to sight, and that power is exerted accordingly, and your sight is restored. So with the sinner. If he has faith in the Son of God; if he believes that he is able and willing to save him: and if he earnestly desires to be saved, the power of Jesus will be put forth to the full extent of his faith.
