Luke 18:42

42 Jesus said, "Go ahead - see again! Your faith has saved and healed you!"

Luke 18:42 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 18:42

And Jesus said unto him, receive thy sight
Be it to thee as thou desirest, look up and see: thus by a word speaking, and power going along with it, without making use of any means, he fulfilled his desire.

Thy faith hath saved thee;
or has obtained salvation for thee, a temporal salvation; and it may be also a spiritual and an eternal one: for that is the concern faith has in salvation; it is the means of obtaining and enjoying it: Christ, the object of faith, is the author of it.

Luke 18:42 In-Context

40 Jesus stopped and ordered him to be brought over. When he had come near, Jesus asked,
41 "What do you want from me?" He said, "Master, I want to see again."
42 Jesus said, "Go ahead - see again! Your faith has saved and healed you!"
43 The healing was instant: He looked up, seeing - and then followed Jesus, glorifying God. Everyone in the street joined in, shouting praise to God.
