Matthew 9:27-31 (ESV)
And as Jesus passed on from there, two blind men followed him, crying aloud, "Have mercy on us, Son of David." [28] When 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] Then he touched their eyes, saying, "According to your faith be it done to you." [30] And their eyes were opened. And Jesus sternly warned them, "See that no one knows about it." [31] But they went away and spread his fame through all that district.
“see that no one knows about it.” I wonder how Jesus expected them to keep that news a secret? If one day you can’t see, and the next day you can, friends and family are going to ask. And that news is just too good to keep a secret. So the two formerly blind men spread the news, and spread his fame. It is quite amazing. The funnier peculiarity is that Jesus blames their faith for the healing. The Blind men blame Jesus. Are either at odds? No, because their faith was in Jesus who was able to do these things, but had they not had faith, they would not have been healed. Mercy and faith work together.
