Matthew 9: 27-31 - 'Take care that no-one learns about this.'

Catechism of the Catholic Church Paragraphs:

- 439 (In 'Christ') - Many Jews and even certain Gentiles who shared their hope recognized in Jesus the fundamental attributes of the messianic “Son of David,” promised by God to Israel. Jesus accepted his rightful title of Messiah, though with some reserve because it was understood by some of his contemporaries in too human a sense, as essentially political.

- 2616 (In 'Jesus hears our prayer') - Prayer to Jesus is answered by him already during his ministry, through signs that anticipate the power of his death and Resurrection: Jesus hears the prayer of faith, expressed in words (the leper, Jairus, the Canaanite woman, the good thief) or in silence (the bearers of the paralytic, the woman with a hemorrhage who touches his clothes, the tears and ointment of the sinful woman). The urgent request of the blind men, “Have mercy on us, Son of David” or “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” has been renewed in the traditional prayer to Jesus known as the Jesus Prayer: “Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner!” Healing infirmities or forgiving sins, Jesus always responds to a prayer offered in faith: “Your faith has made you well; go in peace.”

0:00.0	Hi again, everyone.
0:12.2	Welcome back to daily gospel exegesis.
0:14.8	As always, our goal here is to every day go through the gospel reading from today's
0:19.4	Mass to do a verse-by by verse exegesis on the
0:22.4	text. So we're really diving into the text itself. We're helping you understand the literal
0:27.3	sense of scripture. That's where the Catholic Church says we have to start. If we want to take
0:31.9	our Bible seriously, if we want to know what it means, we have to start with the literal sense.
0:37.1	So we're preparing you
0:38.1	for the gospel reading you will hear at today's Mass. Today's reading is a short one, Matthew
0:42.8	Chapter 9, verses 27 to 31. As Jesus went on his way, two blind men followed him shouting.
0:52.3	Take pity on us, son of David.
0:59.6	And when Jesus reached the house, the blind men came up with him and he said to them,
1:01.9	Do you believe I can do this?
1:04.6	They said, sir, we do.
1:09.4	Then he touched their eyes saying, your faith deserves it.
1:14.1	So let this be done for you. And this site returned.
1:22.0	Then Jesus sternly warned them, take care that no one learns about this, that when they had gone, they talked about him all over the countryside. So as always, we want to start by thinking about the context.
1:30.1	What's happened just before this?
1:31.9	So Jesus has been doing ministry in the Galilee area.
1:34.8	He's been preaching and doing healings.
1:37.2	And in the previous passage, Jesus was approached by John the Baptist's disciples, and they
1:42.1	asked him a question about fasting. And you can hear that
