Matthew 9:31

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.

A Mute Man Speaks

32 ^aAs they went out, behold, they brought to Him a man, mute and demon-possessed.

33 And when the demon was cast out, the mute spoke. And the multitudes marveled, saying, “It was never seen like this in Israel!”

Matthew 9:31

But they - spread abroad his fame - They should have held their peace; for to obey is better than sacrifice, I Samuel 15:22; but man must always be wiser than God, however, it may be profitable to remark,

1st. That honor pursues those who fly from it.

2dly. He who is thoroughly sensible of God' s mercy cannot long contain his acknowledgments.

3dly. That God in general requires that what a man has received, for his own salvation, shall become subservient to that of others - Let your light so shine, etc.

God chooses to help man by man, that all may be firmly knit together in brotherly love.
