SEV Biblia, Chapter 9:28
Y llegado a la casa, vinieron a l los ciegos; y Jess les dice: ¿Creis que puedo hacer esto? Ellos dicen: Sí, Seor.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Matthew 9:28
Verse 28. When he was come unto the house] That is, the house of Peter at Capernaum, where he ordinarily lodged. Believe ye that I am able to do this?] Without faith Jesus does nothing to men's souls now, no more than he did to their bodies in the days of his flesh.
They said unto him, Yea, Lord.] Under a sense of our spiritual blindness we should have, 1st. A lively faith in the almighty grace of Christ. 2dly. A fervent, incessant cry for the communication of this grace. 3dly. A proper view of his incarnation, because it is through his union with our nature, and by his sufferings and death, we are to expect salvation.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 28. And when he was come into the house , etc.] In which he dwelt, whilst at Capernaum: for he took no notice of them by the way; but though they followed him close, and cried vehemently, he did not stop to speak to them, or give them a cure: according to their request, but went on his way; which he did, partly to avoid the populace, and that he might not be seen by men, in what he did, and partly to try their faith, and the constancy of it. The blind men came to him ; being directed by others, into what house he went, and where he was, and very probably with the leave of Christ: and Jesus saith unto them, believe ye that I am able to do this? That is, to have mercy on them, as they requested, by curing them of their blindness; which, though not expressed, is implied, and is the thing designed: this question is put, not as being ignorant of, or as doubting their faith in him, which they had expressed, in calling him the son of David; and had shown the firmness and constancy of it, by following him, though he took no notice of them; but partly, for the further trial of their faith, and to bring them to a more open profession of it, as to this particular, his power to cure them of their blindness; and partly, for the sake of those, that were in the house: they said unto him, yea, Lord . They firmly believed he had power to do it, they had not the least doubt and hesitation in their minds about it; for though their bodily eyes were at present dark, the eyes of their understandings were enlightened, to see and know Jesus to be the true Messiah, Davids Son, and Lord.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 27-31 - At this time the Jews expected Messiah would appear; these blind me knew and proclaimed in the streets of Capernaum that he was come, an 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 burden are, we need no more for supply and support, than to share in the merc of our Lord Jesus. In Christ is enough for all. They followed his crying aloud. He would try their faith, and would teach us always to pray, and not to faint, though the answer does not come at once. The followed Christ, and followed him crying; but the great question is, D ye believe? Nature may make us earnest, but it is only grace that can work faith. Christ touched their eyes. He gives sight to blind souls by the power of his grace going with his word, and he puts the cure upo their faith. Those who apply to Jesus Christ, shall be dealt with, no according to their fancies, nor according to their profession, but according to their faith. Christ sometimes concealed his miracles because he would not indulge the conceit which prevailed among the Jews, that their Messiah should be a temporal prince, and so giv occasion to the people to attempt tumults and seditions.
