Luke 18:42 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 18:42

And Jesus said unto him, receive thy sight
Be it to thee as thou desirest, look up and see: thus by a word speaking, and power going along with it, without making use of any means, he fulfilled his desire.

Thy faith hath saved thee;
or has obtained salvation for thee, a temporal salvation; and it may be also a spiritual and an eternal one: for that is the concern faith has in salvation; it is the means of obtaining and enjoying it: Christ, the object of faith, is the author of it.

41 "What do you want me to do for you?" He said, "Lord, I want to see."

42 Jesus said to him, "Then see. You are healed because you believed."

43 At once the man was able to see, and he followed Jesus, thanking God. All the people who saw this praised God.
