F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Matthew 9:1-99

Matthew 9 THE GERGESENE PEOPLE not desiring His presence, He again crossed the sea, and was at once met by further cases of human need. In Matthew 9.0 we are shown how He wrought deliverance for the man sick of the palsy, the diseased woman, the daughter of Jairus, the two blind men, and the dumb man possessed with a demon again a five-fold exhibition of the power of the kingdom that had drawn near in His presence. In the first of these cases the Lord plainly stated the connection that existed... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Matthew 9:28-31

The healing and its effect: v. 28. 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. v. 29, T hen touched He their eyes, saying. According unto your faith, be it unto you. v. 30. And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straightly charged them, saying, See that no man know it. v. 31. But they, when they were departed, spread abroad His fame in all that country. Jesus had taken no... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Matthew 9:27-34

VIIThe cure of the blind men and of the dumb demoniac: or, the fame and the defamation of the defamation of the miracles of Jesus. The healing agency of the Lord, the earnest of coming salvation, in view of the hardening and the blasphemy of His enemies.Matthew 9:27-3427And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, Thou Son of David, have mercy on us.21 28And when he was [had] come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Matthew 9:18-31

Matthew THE TOUCH OF FAITH AND THE TOUCH OF CHRIST Mat_9:18-31 . The three miracles included in the present section belong to the last group of this series. Those of the second group were all effected by Christ’s word. Those now to be considered are all effected by touch. The first two are intertwined. The narrative of the healing of the woman is embedded in the account of the raising of Jairus’s daughter. Mark the impression of calm consciousness of power and leisurely dignity produced by... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Matthew 9:27-34

the Merciful Deliverer Matthew 9:27-34 It is thus that the Master speaks to us: Believe ye that I am able to make you happy, though you are cut off from the light and gladness of the world? Believe ye that I am able to enrich you in poverty, strengthen you in weakness, and raise you even out of death itself, so that the barren rod may bear blossom and fruit? Believe ye that I am able to give a knowledge of God which eye hath not seen nor the heart of man conceived? It may be with a... read more

G. Campbell Morgan

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Matthew 9:1-38

The King now exercised His authority in a new way. He pronounced pardon on a sinner, and straightway opposition was aroused. To the questioning and rebellious hearts He vindicated His authority to forgive sins by a different exhibition of power, the power of healing. The effect was instantaneous and remarkable. The multitudes feared and glorified God. The record of a triumphal progress of the Shepherd King follows. A ruler, a woman ostracized because of her plague, two blind men, a dumb man... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 9:10-34

What Jesus Has To Offer And The Growth of Pharisaic Opposition (9:10-34). We are now informed about the first open opposition among the Pharisees to Jesus. The Pharisees had seemingly previously approached John with a critical attitude, along with the Sadducees. They had felt that it was their duty to vet any new prophet. But they had been firmly put in their place (Matthew 3:7-9). Now they will begin to criticise Jesus, and their criticism will grow and will continue on to the end. Not all... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 9:27-31

The Restoring Of Sight To Two Blind Men. The raising of the Ruler’s daughter from the dead is now followed by a further Messianic sign, the opening of the eyes of the blind (see Matthew 11:5). In this incident there are two blind men who are healed. Rather than dismissing Matthew’s tendency to notice what others do not we should recognise from this that Matthew appears especially to have noticed examples of companionship (even in the case of the asses later). Perhaps it was because as an... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 9:31

‘But they went forth, and spread abroad his fame in all that land.’ But His words fell on ‘deaf’ ears. They went out and told everywhere what had happened to them and how Jesus had healed them And so Jesus fame spread abroad in all the land. Compare the parallel phrase in Matthew 9:26. His fame could not be hidden. read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 9:27-31

Matthew 9:27-Obadiah : . Two Blind Men Healed.— Mt. only; perhaps a doublet of Matthew 20:20-Nahum :, with reminiscences (in Matthew 9:30 f.) of Mark 1:43-Romans :. See M’ Neile, 128f. “ Son of David” first appears as a Messianic title in Ps. Sol. 17:23, but becomes frequent after A.D. 100. Matthew 9:30 . Jesus strictly charged them: the verb is that used in Mark 1:43; Mark 14:5, John 11:33, and connotes a rush of deep feeling. read more
