Matthew 9:26

26 et exiit fama haec in universam terram illam

Matthew 9:26 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 9:26

And the fame hereof went abroad into all that land.
] For though he strictly charged the parents, as the other evangelists say, that they should tell no man what was done, he not affecting the applause of men; yet it was not possible the thing should be entirely concealed; since there was such a number of people, not only relations, but neighbours, who full well knew, and were assured she had been dead: when these saw her alive, walk about, eat and drink, and converse with them, they must be persuaded of the miracle, and relate it wherever they came; so that the fame of it could not but be spread all over the country in which Capernaum was.

Matthew 9:26 In-Context

24 dicebat recedite non est enim mortua puella sed dormit et deridebant eum

25 et cum eiecta esset turba intravit et tenuit manum eius et surrexit puella

26 et exiit fama haec in universam terram illam

27 et transeunte inde Iesu secuti sunt eum duo caeci clamantes et dicentes miserere nostri Fili David

28 cum autem venisset domum accesserunt ad eum caeci et dicit eis Iesus creditis quia possum hoc facere vobis dicunt ei utique Domine
