Context of Matthew 9:27

25But when the crowd had been cleared out, He went in and took her hand, and the girl got up. 26And news of this spread all around that region. As Yeshua went on from there, two blind men followed Him, crying out, “Ben-David, have mercy on us!” 28When He went into the house, the blind men came to Him. And Yeshua said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” “Yes, Master,” they said to Him. 29Then He touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith, let it be done for you.”

Commentaries on Matthew 9:27

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 27Son of David - This was the same as if they had called him Messiah. Two things here are worthy of remark: 1st. That it was a generally received opinion at this time in Judea, that the Messiah should be son of David. ( John 7:42;). 2dly. That Jesus Christ was generally and incontestably acknowledged as coming from this stock. Matthew 12:23. Have mercy on us - That man has already a measure of heavenly light who knows that he has no merit; that his cry…Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 27And when Jesus departed thence - The scene of this miracle was near Capernaum. The blind men probably followed him with their cry for aid immediately on his leaving the house of Jairus. Thou Son of David - By the Son of David the Jews meant the Messiah. He was the descendant or Son of David by way of eminence, Isaiah 9:7; Luke 1:32; Revelation 22:16. See the notes at Matthew 1:1. This was therefore a profession of belief, on the part of these blind men…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. Those who, by the providence of God, have lost their bodily sight, may, by the grace of God, have the eyes of their understanding fully enlightened. And whatever our wants and burdens are, we need no more for supply and support, than to share in the mercy of our Lord Jesus. In Christ is…Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 27Eye diseases were common in ancient times. People often considered blindness as divine punishment (see Exodus 4:11; Deuteronomy 28:28; 2 Kings 6:18; John 9:2–3). The Old Testament prophesies that when the Messiah came he would restore sight to the blind (Matthew 11:4–5; Isaiah 29:18–19; 35:5–6). Son of David is a title connected to the Messiah and miraculous healings (see Matthew 1:1; 12:23; 15:22; 20:30–31; 2 Samuel 7:12–16).Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 2727. And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him--hearing, doubtless, as in a later case is expressed, "that Jesus passed by" (Mt 20:30). crying, and saying, Thou son of David, have mercy on us--It is remarkable that in the only other recorded case in which the blind applied to Jesus for their sight, and obtained it, they addressed Him, over and over again, by this one Messianic title, so well known--"Son of David" (Mt 20:30). Can there be a…Read the comment
