Jesus Heals Two Blind Men
27 cAnd as Jesus passed on from there, two blind men followed him, crying aloud, “Have mercy on us, dSon of David.” 28When he entered the house, the blind men came to him, and Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” They said to him, “Yes, Lord.” 29 eThen he touched their eyes, saying, f“According to your faith be it done to you.” 30And their eyes were opened. And Jesus sternly warned them, g“See that no one knows about it.”Matthew 11:5
5 hthe blind receive their sight and the lame walk, lepers ▼▼Leprosy was a term for several skin diseases; see Leviticus 13
are cleansed and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised up, and jthe poor have good news preached to them. John 9:39-41
39Jesus said, k“For judgment I came into this world, lthat those who do not see may see, and mthose who see may become blind.” 40Some of the Pharisees near him heard these things, and said to him, n“Are we also blind?” 41Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, oyou would have no guilt; ▼▼Greek you would not have sin
but now that you say, ‘We see,’ your guilt remains. John 12:46
46 qI have come into the world as light, so that whoever believes in me may not remain in darkness.Acts 26:18
18 rto open their eyes, so that they may turn from darkness to light and from sthe power of Satan to God, that they may receive tforgiveness of sins and ua place among those who are sanctified vby faith in me.’Ephesians 5:8-14
8for wat one time you were xdarkness, but now you are light in the Lord. yWalk as children of light 9(for zthe fruit of light is found in all that is good and right and true), 10and aatry to discern what is pleasing to the Lord. 11 abTake no part in the acunfruitful adworks of darkness, but instead aeexpose them. 12For afit is shameful even to speak of the things that they do in secret. 13But when aganything is exposed by the light, it becomes visible, 14for anything that becomes visible is light. Therefore it says,ah“Awake, O sleeper,
and aiarise from the dead,
and ajChrist will shine on you.”
