SEV Biblia, Chapter 9:31
Mas ellos salidos, divulgaron su fama por toda aquella tierra.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Matthew 9:31
Verse 31. But they-spread abroad his fame] They should have held their peace; for to obey is better than sacrifice, 1 Samuel xv. 22; but man must always be wiser than God, however, it may be profitable to remark, 1st. That honour pursues those who fly from it. 2dly. He who is thoroughly sensible of God's mercy cannot long contain his acknowledgments. 3dly.
That God in general requires that what a man has received, for his own salvation, shall become subservient to that of others-Let your light so shine, &c. God chooses to help man by man, that all may be firmly knit together in brotherly love.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 31. But they, when they were departed , etc.] That is, out of the house where they received their cure, and out of the city; for it appears, by what follows, they went into other parts, where it is probable they might originally belong; they spread abroad his fame in all that country . This they did, not in contempt of Christ and his orders; but rather out of gratitude to their benefactor, and through an honest zeal to spread his honour and glory: though they are not to be commended for disregarding the command of Christ; for, not our affection, but Christ’s will, is to be the rule of our actions.
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.
