Matthew 9:27-31 As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed him, calling out, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!” When he had gone indoors, the blind men came to him, and he asked them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?”“Yes, Lord,” they replied. Then he touched their eyes and said, “According to your faith let it be done to you”; and their sight was restored. Jesus warned them sternly, “See that no one knows about this.” But they went out and spread the news about him all over that region. Jesus was traveling around, teaching and performing miracles attesting to the truth of His message, and confirming the reality of His identity. He was the Messiah, the Son of David. These two men offered free advertising to that fact, both before and after they were healed. His question may have seemed to have an obvious answer: of course, they believed He could heal them; that's why they were following Him around calling to Him. But Jesus wants us to stop and think:: "What do I really believe about Jesus? Not only "What can He do?", but also "Who is this Man?" Notice that when they were healed they went and told not about WHAT had happened to them, but they told about HIM.
