Matthew 21:14

14 Blind and lame people came up to him in the Temple, and he healed them.

Matthew 21:14 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 21:14

And the blind and the lame came to him
The Syriac and Ethiopic versions read, "they brought unto him the blind and the lame". The blind could not come to him unless they were led, nor the lame, unless they were carried: the sense therefore is, they came, being brought to him:

in the temple;
that part of it, the court of the Gentiles, and mountain of the house, out of which he had cast the buyers and sellers and in the room of them, were brought in these objects of his pity:

and he healed them;
to the blind he restored sight, and caused the lame to walk; which miracles he wrought in confirmation of the doctrine he preached: for all the other evangelists relate, that he taught in the temple.

Matthew 21:14 In-Context

12 Yeshua entered the Temple grounds and drove out those who were doing business there, both the merchants and their customers. He upset the desks of the money changers and knocked over the benches of those who were selling pigeons.

13 He said to them, "It has been written, `My house will be called a house of prayer.' But you are making it into a den of robbers!"

14 Blind and lame people came up to him in the Temple, and he healed them.

15 But when the head cohanim and Torah-teachers saw the wonderful things he was doing, and the children crying out in the Temple, "Please deliver us!" to the Son of David, they were furious.

16 They said to him, "Do you hear what they're saying?" Yeshua replied, "Of course! Haven't you ever read, `From the mouth of children and infants you have prepared praise for yourself'?"
