Context of Matthew 9:28
26And the fame hereof went forth into all that land. 27And as Jesus passed by from thence, two blind men followed him, crying out, and saying, Have mercy on us, thou son of David. And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They say unto him, Yea, Lord. 29Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it done unto you. 30And their eyes were opened. And Jesus strictly charged them, saying, See that no man know it.

Commentaries on Matthew 9:28
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 28When he was come unto the house - That is, the house of Peter at Capernaum, where he ordinarily lodged. Believe ye that I am able to do this? - Without faith Jesus does nothing to men's souls now, no more than he did to their bodies in the days of his flesh. They said unto him, Yea, Lord - Under a sense of our spiritual blindness we should have, 1st. A lively faith in the almighty grace of Christ. 2dly. A fervent, incessant cry for the communication of…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 28And when he was come into the house - That is, either into the house which he usually occupied in Capernaum, or the house of some friend.

The blind men came to him - That is, they followed him into the house. They showed a determination to persevere until they obtained what they…Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 27-31Verses 27-31 At this time the Jews expected Messiah would appear; these blind men knew and proclaimed in the streets of Capernaum that he was come, and that Jesus was he.

- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 2828. And when he was come into the house--To try their faith and patience, He seems to have made them no answer. But the blind men came to Him--which, no doubt, was what He desired. and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? they said unto him, Yea, Lord--Doubtless our Lord's design was not only to put their faith to the test by this question, but to deepen it, to raise their expectation of a cure, and so prepare them to receive it…Read the comment
