The healing of the lame in the Temple

Saint Matthew - Chapter 21

The healing of the lame in the Temple. J-J Tissot

[14] Et accesserunt ad eum caeci, et claudi in templo : et sanavit eos.
And there came to him the blind and the lame in the temple; and he healed them.

And the blind and the lame came to Him, and He healed them, that by these miracles He might show Himself to be Messiah, yea God; and so that He had been rightly honoured by the acclamations of the people and the pomp. For Isaiah had foretold (35:5)* that Messiah would work such miracles. And they were worthy both of Christ and the Temple, and Christ substituted them for the covetous traffic in cattle.

*[5] Tunc aperientur oculi caecorum, et aures surdorum patebunt;Then shall the eyes of the blind be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.[6] unc saliet sicut cervus claudus, et aperta erit lingua mutorum : quia scissae sunt in deserto aquae, et torrentes in solitudine;Then shall the lame man leap as a hart, and the tongue of the dumb shall be free: for waters are broken out in the desert, and streams in the wilderness.

Totus tuus ego sum 

Et omnia mea tua sunt;

Tecum semper tutus sum:
Ad Jesum per Mariam
