The Doctor for the Sick
Then He touched their eyes and said, “According to your faith will it be done to you.” Matthew 9:29 · Berean Standard Bible
Jesus touched their eyes and said, 'Because you believed, it will happen.' And their sight was restored.
Jesus matched His response to their faith. What they believed, they received.
Jesus, rewarding their faith with healing.
This is a beautiful pattern: your faith opens the door for Jesus to work in your life.
Jesus touches their eyes and declares 'kata ten pistin hymon genethetho hymin' (according to your faith let it be done to you), linking healing directly to faith.
The formula 'according to your faith' appears multiple times in Matthew, establishing faith as the key that unlocks divine power.
Jesus, healing according to faith.
This faith-based healing reinforces that relationship with Jesus, expressed through trust, is the channel through which divine power flows.
27As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed Him, crying out, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!”
28After Jesus had entered the house, the blind men came to Him. “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” He asked.
29Then He touched their eyes and said, “According to your faith will it be done to you.”
30And their eyes were opened. Jesus warned them sternly, “See that no one finds out about this!”
31But they went out and spread the news about Him throughout the land.
Read all of Matthew 9 — Jesus eats with sinners, forgives the paralyzed, and raises the dead. The religious leaders are horrified; the broken are set free.
