1. Jesus heals a paralytic
9. calls Matthew from the receipt of custom;
10. eats with tax collectors and sinners;
14. defends his disciples for not fasting;
20. cures the sick woman;
23. raises Jairus' daughter from death;

Then He touched their eyes
In this phrase, the act of Jesus touching the eyes of the blind men is significant. The Greek word for "touched" is "haptomai," which implies a deliberate and compassionate action. In the cultural and historical context of the time, touch was a powerful means of conveying healing and blessing. Jesus' touch signifies His willingness to engage personally with those in need, breaking social norms that often marginalized the sick and disabled. This act of touching is a demonstration of His divine authority and compassion, emphasizing that physical contact with the divine brings restoration and healing.

and said
The phrase "and said" introduces the authoritative word of Jesus. In the biblical narrative, the spoken word of God is powerful and creative, as seen in the Genesis account of creation. Here, Jesus' words are not mere suggestions but carry the weight of divine command. The Greek word "eipen" is used, which is a simple past tense verb indicating a definitive statement. This highlights the certainty and immediacy of what Jesus is about to declare, underscoring the power of His spoken word in bringing about miraculous change.

According to your faith
This phrase is pivotal in understanding the relationship between faith and divine intervention. The Greek word for "faith" is "pistis," which denotes trust, belief, and confidence in God. Jesus acknowledges the faith of the blind men as the basis for their healing. This reflects a consistent biblical theme where faith is a prerequisite for receiving God's promises and blessings. It emphasizes personal responsibility in the spiritual journey, where one's faith opens the door to experiencing God's power. Historically, this underscores the transformative power of faith in the early Christian community, where belief in Jesus' ability to heal and save was central to the Christian experience.

will it be done to you
The phrase "will it be done to you" is a declaration of fulfillment. The Greek word "ginomai" is used here, which means "to become" or "to come into being." This indicates that the healing is not just a future promise but a present reality being actualized. Jesus' words bring about a change in the state of the blind men, transforming their condition from blindness to sight. This reflects the biblical principle that God's promises are not abstract but are realized in the lives of believers. The historical context of this statement would have resonated deeply with the early Christian audience, affirming that faith in Jesus results in tangible, life-changing outcomes.

(29) Then touched he their eyes.--This is the first recorded instance of the method which our Lord seems always to have adopted in the case of the blind, and, in part also, in that of the deaf. Others might have their faith strengthened by the look of sympathy and conscious power which they saw in the face of the Healer. From that influence they were shut out, and for them therefore its absence was supplied by acts which they would naturally connect with the purpose to heal them. (Comp. the later instances in Matthew 20:34; 'John 9:6.)

Verse 29. - Then touched he their eyes. So also Matthew 20:34, showing his sympathy and helping their faith (Matthew 8:3); cf. also John 9:6, and supra, ver. 18, note. Saying, According to your faith (Matthew 8:13, note) be it (done, Revised Version; γενηθήτω) unto you.
