Mateus 9:31 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 9:31

But they, when they were departed
That is, out of the house where they received their cure, and out of the city; for it appears, by what follows, they went into other parts, where it is probable they might originally belong; they

spread abroad his fame in all that country.
This they did, not in contempt of Christ and his orders; but rather out of gratitude to their benefactor, and through an honest zeal to spread his honour and glory: though they are not to be commended for disregarding the command of Christ; for, not our affection, but Christ's will, is to be the rule of our actions.

Mateus 9:31 In-Context

29 Então lhes tocou os olhos, dizendo: Seja-vos feito segundo a vossa fé.

30 E os olhos se lhes abriram. Jesus ordenou-lhes terminantemente, dizendo: Vede que ninguém o saiba.

31 Eles, porém, saíram, e divulgaram a sua fama por toda aquela terra.

32 Enquanto esses se retiravam, eis que lhe trouxeram um homem mudo e endemoninhado.

33 E, expulso o demônio, falou o mudo e as multidões se admiraram, dizendo: Nunca tal se viu em Israel.
