“Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you.”
Matthew 9:29 — Greek Interlinear
Church Fathers on Matthew 9:29
The miracles that had gone before of the ruler’s d aug hter, and the woman with the issue of blood, are now followed by that of two blind men, that what death and disease had there witnessed, that blindness might now witness. 'And as Jesus passed thence,' that is, from the ruler’s house, there followed him two blind men, crying, and saying, Have mercy on us, thou Son of David.'
Here is no small charge against the Jews, that these men, having lost their sight, yet believe by means of their hearing only; while they who had sight, would not believe the miracles that were done. Observe their eagerness; they do not simply come to Him, but with crying, and asking for nothing but mercy; they call Him Son of David because that seemed to be a name of honour.
Rightly they call Him Son of David, because the Virgin Mary was of the line of David.
