Matthew 9:27-34 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Matthew 9:27-34

In these verses we have an account of two more miracles wrought together by our Saviour. I. The giving of sight to two blind men, Matt. 9:27-31. Christ is the Fountain of light as well as life; and as, by raising the dead, he showed himself to be the same that at first breathed into man the breath of life, so, by giving sight to the blind, he showed himself to be the same that at first commanded the light to shine out of darkness. Observe, 1. The importunate address of the blind men to Christ.... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Matthew 9:1-34

We have repeatedly seen that in Matthew's gospel there is nothing haphazard. It is carefully planned and carefully designed. In Matthew 9:1-38 we see another example of this careful planning, for here we see the first shadows of the gathering storm. We see the opposition beginning to grow; we hear the first hint of the charges which are going to be levelled against Jesus, and which are finally going to bring about his death. In this chapter four charges are made against Jesus. (i) He is... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 9:27

And when Jesus departed thence ,.... From the house of Jairus, to another in the same city; two blind men followed him : very closely, by the direction of others, having heard of the miracle just now performed by him; and from thence concluded he was able to restore them to their sight; crying and saying , with great faith and fervour, with much importunity, and frequently repeating the following words, thou son of David, have mercy on us . Whence it appears, that they firmly... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 9:28

And when he was come into the house ,.... In which he dwelt, whilst at Capernaum: for he took no notice of them by the way; but though they followed him close, and cried vehemently, he did not stop to speak to them, or give them a cure: according to their request, but went on his way; which he did, partly to avoid the populace, and that he might not be seen by men, in what he did, and partly to try their faith, and the constancy of it. The blind men came to him ; being directed by... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible 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... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 9:30

And their eyes were opened ,.... Some copies read, "immediately"; and so do the Syriac, Persic, and Ethiopic versions: and this was certainly the true and real matter of fact, that as soon as Christ had touched their eyes, and said the above words, their sight was perfectly restored to them; and they had a clear, full, and true sight of objects, as men have, whose vision faculty is in its full strength and rigour, and their eyes open: and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, see that no... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 9:31

But they, when they were departed ,.... That is, out of the house where they received their cure, and out of the city; for it appears, by what follows, they went into other parts, where it is probable they might originally belong; they spread abroad his fame in all that country . This they did, not in contempt of Christ and his orders; but rather out of gratitude to their benefactor, and through an honest zeal to spread his honour and glory: though they are not to be commended for... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 9:32

As they went out ,.... The Syriac version reads it, "when Jesus went out"; to which agrees the Arabic, against all the copies: for not he, but the men who had been blind, and now had their sight restored, went out from the house where Jesus was; which circumstance is mentioned, and by it the following account is introduced, partly to show how busy Christ was, how he was continually employed in doing good, and that as soon as one work of mercy was over, another offered; and partly, to observe... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 9:33

And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake ,.... The cause of his dumbness being removed, the effect ceased, and the man spake as he did before, and as other men do; and this was done, according to the Persic version, "as soon as Christ saw him"; the devil not being able to bear his presence, much less withstand his power: but as soon as Christ had set his eyes upon the man possessed by him, and had given him orders to be gone, he immediately went out, and the man was restored to his... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 9:34

But the Pharisees said ,.... Who were the sworn enemies of Christ, and were filled with envy at him, and malice against him: these men could not bear, that so much honour and glory should be given to Christ; and therefore said, he casteth out the devils through the prince of the devils : they could not deny matter of fact, that he had cast out a devil; nor could they say he had done an ill thing in so doing; they could not but own that it was a preternatural action, more than human; nor... read more
