  • PER156 The healing of two blind men

    The healing of two blind men at Capernaum, reported only by Matthew (Mt 9.27-31), illustrates messianic faith: the two men recognize Jesus as ‘Son of David’. Jesus heals them according to their faith and asks them to keep silent, wishing to direct the crowds toward eternal salvation rather than toward physical healings. This account prepares Jesus’ answer to John the Baptist in Matthew 11.5.

    Luke 18.35-43 (King James Version) :
    And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging:And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant.And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me.And they which went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much the more, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me.And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him,Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight.And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee.And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God.

  • MIR037 Healing of blind Bartimaeus

    This article explores the Gospel accounts of Bartimaeus' healing. Although the details vary (the number of blind men, the identification of Bartimaeus, the precise location), the essentials remain: the blind men's faith and Jesus' compassion in healing them.

    Luke 18.35-43 (King James Version) :
    And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging:And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant.And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me.And they which went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much the more, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me.And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him,Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight.And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee.And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God.
