Matthäus 9:29

29 Da rührte er ihre Augen an und sprach: Euch geschehe nach eurem Glauben.

Matthäus 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.

Matthäus 9:29 In-Context

27 Und da Jesus von da weiterging, folgten ihm zwei Blinde nach, die schrieen und sprachen: Ach, du Sohn Davids, erbarme dich unser!

28 Und da er heimkam, traten die Blinden zu ihm. Und Jesus sprach zu ihnen: Glaubt ihr, daß ich euch solches tun kann? Da sprachen sie zu ihm: HERR, ja.

29 Da rührte er ihre Augen an und sprach: Euch geschehe nach eurem Glauben.

30 Und ihre Augen wurden geöffnet. Und Jesus bedrohte sie und sprach: Seht zu, daß es niemand erfahre!

31 Aber sie gingen aus und machten ihn ruchbar im selben ganzen Lande.
