Matteo 9:29

29 Allora egli toccò gli occhi loro, dicendo: Siavi fatto secondo la vostra fede.

Matteo 9:29 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 9:29

Then touched he their eyes
Not but that he could have restored sight to them, without touching their eyes, by a word speaking, or by the secret communication of his power; but he might do this as a sign of his favour and kindness to them, and of his will to cure them; as also in compliance with their weakness, who might expect some manual operation upon them;

saying, according to your faith be it unto you:
not that faith in his person and power, was the cause or condition of this cure, or the rule and measure according to which Christ proceeded; but the sense is, that as they had believed he was able to heal them, accordingly a cure should be effected; which, upon his so saying, they immediately found performed in them.

Matteo 9:29 In-Context

27 E PARTENDOSI Gesù di là, due ciechi lo seguitarono, gridando e dicendo: Abbi pietà di noi, Figliuolo di Davide.

28 E quando egli fu venuto in casa, que’ ciechi si accostarono a lui. E Gesù disse loro: Credete voi che io possa far cotesto? Essi gli risposero: Sì certo, Signore.

29 Allora egli toccò gli occhi loro, dicendo: Siavi fatto secondo la vostra fede.

30 E gli occhi loro furono aperti; e Gesù fece loro un severo divieto, dicendo:

31 Guardate che niuno lo sappia. Ma essi, usciti fuori, pubblicarono la fama di esso per tutto quel paese.
