Mateo 21:14

This is the last reference to Jesus’ healing ministry in Matthew’s Gospel. The healing probably happened in the Court of the Gentiles. Some of these blind and lame people could not participate fully in worship activities at the temple (cf. 2 Samuel 5:6-8, where David excluded the blind and lame). However, Jesus made it possible for them to do so by healing them (cf. Acts 3:2). Jesus therefore cleansed both the temple and those who came to it. One greater than the temple had arrived (Matthew 12:6). The authorities would later question His authority to do this cleansing (Matthew 21:23).
