Matthew 9: 29 Jesus heals two blind men.
According to your faith let it be to you.
This passage was spoken by Jesus about 1.1/2 years into His earthly ministry. This story starts with verse 27. These two blind men called out loud to Jesus saying "Have mercy on us , Son of David." This situation is different from the woman who was bleeding for 12 years. The Bible does not record her saying anything to Jesus before she touched His garment. These blind men called Jesus the son of David; by using these words they were telling Jesus that they were Jews and believed Jesus to be the Messiah. Jesus entered a house and the blind men followed Him. Jesus asked if they believed He could do what they asked. Yes, they told Him. They did not have to wash in a pool like the man near the pool of Siloam. Jesus touched their eyes and they were healed. Jesus told them not to tell anyone what had happened, they agreed and then went and spread the news far and wide. Why did Jesus tell them to keep this healing to themselves? Capernaum is the city in which this story takes place. Jesus curses Capernaum for not believing His teachings or His miracles performed within the city limits. Jesus told them it would go better for Sodom on the day of judgement than for them. This is why Jesus told the blind men to keep this quiet.
