Context of Matthew 9:30

28When He went into the house, the blind men came up to Him, and Jesus said to them, “Do you believe [with a deep, abiding trust] that I am able to do this?” They said to Him, “Yes, Lord.” 29Then He touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith [your trust and confidence in My power and My ability to heal] it will be done to you.” And their eyes were opened. And Jesus sternly warned them: “See that no one knows this!” 31But they went out and spread the news about Him throughout that whole district. 32While they were going away, a mute, demon-possessed man was brought to Jesus.
