Matthew 9:27-31 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

Concerning this miracle, I beg the Reader particularly to observe, that the cry of those men was evidently the cry of faith: for the name by which they distinguished Christ, Thou SON of David! was the known character in which the Jews were taught to expect Christ. And the opening of the blind eyes was to be a token of his mission. Isa_35:5; Isa_42:7; Isa_61:1.

Matthew 9:27-31

27 And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, Thou Son of David, have mercy on us.

28 And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them,Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord.

29 Then touched he their eyes, saying,According to your faith be it unto you.

30 And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying,See that no man know it.

31 But they, when they were departed, spread abroad his fame in all that country.
