Moved with compassion The phrase "moved with compassion" in Matthew 20:34 reflects the Greek word "σπλαγχνίζομαι" (splanchnizomai), which conveys a deep, visceral feeling of empathy and mercy. In the context of Jesus' ministry, this compassion is not merely an emotional response but a profound, divine love that compels action. Historically, this term is used in the Gospels to describe Jesus' response to human suffering, highlighting His role as the compassionate Savior who is intimately concerned with the needs of humanity. This compassion is a central theme in the New Testament, illustrating the heart of God towards His creation. Jesus touched their eyes Immediately they received their sight and followed Him Verse 34. - Touched their eyes. Only St. Matthew mentions this action of our Lord; but in all other cases of the cure of blindness the healing touch of the Man accompanied the word of the God (comp. Matthew 9:29; Mark 8:23; John 9:6), and Christ did not now depart from his usual practice. Thus, as we have noticed before, he connected the cure with himself. He proved that his flesh taken unto the Godhead was life-giving, remedial, efficacious; and he confirmed the faith of the sufferers and bystanders by showing that there was no deceit or collusion. The other synoptists give Christ's assurance to the men, that the restoration of their sight was the reward of faith - a faith exhibited by the invocation of Jesus as "Son of David," by continued importunity amid surrounding difficulties, by confidence in his power and willingness to heal brought to a point by Christ's question, "What will ye that I shall do unto you?" They followed him. A fact only less remarkable than the miracle that led to it. The impulse of a grateful heart drew them along the road which the Saviour travelled. They may have accompanied him to Jerusalem, and joined the applauding multitude which escorted him to the holy city, and employed their new power of sight in observing that wonderful spectacle which the next few days afforded. One, at any rate, of these men, Bartimaeus, seems to have become known in the early Church as a devoted follower of Christ, and hence his name is recorded for all time in the sacred narrative. |
