Context of Matthew 9:29

27Jesus left the house. While he walked along, two blind men began to follow him. They were shouting out to him, ‘Son of David! Please be kind to us and help us!’ 28Jesus went into a house and the blind men came to him there. Jesus asked them, ‘Do you believe that I can make your eyes become well?’ The men replied, ‘Yes, Master, we believe that you can do this.’ So Jesus touched the men's eyes. He said to them, ‘Because you believed in me, you will now see again.’ 30Then immediately the men could see again. Jesus said strongly to them, ‘You must not tell anyone about this.’ 31So the men went away. But they told everybody in that part of the country all about what Jesus had done for them.
