And when he came into 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.”
In this passage Jesus asks the blind men whether they believe that He is able to heal them. This is an important question, because Jesus often emphasized that healing takes place on the basis of faith. The blind men answered firmly, “Yes, Lord,” thereby expressing their faith that Jesus can perform this miracle. Jesus’ question shows that faith has an important role in the process of healing, and that only through faith can a person truly be saved and healed.
