SEV Biblia, Chapter 9:29
Entonces tocó los ojos de ellos, diciendo: Conforme a vuestra fe os sea hecho.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Matthew 9:29
Verse 29. According to your faith] See on "chap. viii. 13".
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 29. Then touched he their eyes , etc.] Not but that he could have restored sight to them, without touching their eyes, by a word speaking, or by the secret communication of his power; but he might do this as a sign of his favour and kindness to them, and of his will to cure them; as also in compliance with their weakness, who might expect some manual operation upon them; saying, according to your faith be it unto you : not that faith in his person and power, was the cause or condition of this cure, or the rule and measure according to which Christ proceeded; but the sense is, that as they had believed he was able to heal them, accordingly a cure should be effected; which, upon his so saying, they immediately found performed in them.
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.

Robertson's NT Word Studies
9:29 {Touched their eyes} (heyato twn ofqalmwn). The men had faith (#9:28) and Jesus rewards their faith and yet he touched their eyes as he sometimes did with kindly sympathy.
