CommentJeromePublic domainMatthew 9:27–31

The miracles that had gone before of the ruler’s daughter, and the woman with the issue of blood, are now followed by that of two blind men, that what death and disease had there witnessed, that blindness might now witness. “And as Jesus passed thence,” that is, from the ruler’s house, there followed him two blind men, crying, and saying, Have mercy on us, thou Son of David.”
