Matthieu 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.

Matthieu 9:29 In-Context

27 Etant parti de là, Jésus fut suivi par deux aveugles, qui criaient: Aie pitié de nous, Fils de David!

28 Lorsqu'il fut arrivé à la maison, les aveugles s'approchèrent de lui, et Jésus leur dit: Croyez-vous que je puisse faire cela? Oui, Seigneur, lui répondirent-ils.

29 Alors il leur toucha les yeux, en disant: Qu'il vous soit fait selon votre foi.

30 Et leurs yeux s'ouvrirent. Jésus leur fit cette recommandation sévère: Prenez garde que personne ne le sache.

31 Mais, dès qu'ils furent sortis, ils répandirent sa renommée dans tout le pays.
