Commentary on Matthew 9:27

Theological / Devotional

Two blind men. [Two Blind Men, Matt. 9:27-31. Comment: Matthew. Cf. Mark 8:22-26; 10:46-52. See Closing Galilean Ministry; on miracles pp. 208-213.] This miracle probably occurred in Capernaum during the autumn of A.D. 29. The healing at Bethsaida (see Mark 8:22-26) occurred about one year later, and that of Bartimaeus at Jericho (see Mark 10:46-52) more than a year and a half later. From ancient times blindness, very often caused by trachoma, has been common in Bible lands.

Son of David. Their use of this term indicates that the blind men recognized Jesus as the Messiah (see on ch. 1:1).
