Mateo 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.

Mateo 9:29 In-Context

27 Jesús sana a unos ciegos
Cuando Jesús salió de la casa de la niña, lo siguieron dos hombres ciegos, quienes gritaban: «¡Hijo de David, ten compasión de nosotros!».

28 Entraron directamente a la casa donde Jesús se hospedaba, y él les preguntó:
—Sí, Señor —le dijeron—, lo creemos.

29 Entonces él les tocó los ojos y dijo:

30 Entonces sus ojos se abrieron, ¡y pudieron ver! Jesús les advirtió severamente:

31 pero ellos, en cambio, salieron e hicieron correr su fama por toda la región.
