Receive your sight
In this phrase, Jesus commands the blind man to "receive your sight." The Greek word for "receive" is "anablepo," which means to look up or recover sight. This is not just a physical healing but a spiritual awakening. In the context of the Gospels, sight often symbolizes understanding and insight. Jesus, as the Light of the World, brings both physical and spiritual illumination. The act of receiving is passive, indicating that the man’s healing is a gift from Jesus, emphasizing the grace and power of Christ in restoring what was lost.

your faith
The phrase "your faith" highlights the personal faith of the blind man. The Greek word for faith is "pistis," which denotes trust, belief, and confidence. In the biblical context, faith is not merely intellectual assent but a deep trust in God’s power and goodness. This faith is the means by which the man receives his healing. It underscores a recurring theme in the Gospels: faith as a conduit for divine action. The man’s faith in Jesus’ ability to heal him is a testament to his recognition of Jesus’ divine authority.

has healed you
The phrase "has healed you" is translated from the Greek word "sozo," which means to save, heal, or make whole. This word is often used in the New Testament to describe both physical healing and spiritual salvation. The dual meaning reflects the holistic nature of Jesus’ ministry, which addresses both body and soul. The healing is immediate and complete, demonstrating Jesus’ authority over physical ailments and His compassion for human suffering. This phrase encapsulates the transformative power of Jesus’ touch, which restores the man to full health and wholeness.

(42) Thy faith hath saved thee.--Better, as in St. Mark, Thy faith hath made thee whole, the immediate reference being obviously to the restoration of the man's sight, and that which was in the immediate future being recognised as already ideally completed. Beyond this, as in the use of the same formula in Luke 7:50, there lies in the word a reference to the salvation, the healthiness of spiritual vision, of which the restoration of bodily sight was at once the type and the earnest.

Verse 42. - And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight. "Magnifique aumone du Christ" (Pressense'). Thy faith hath saved thee. The American Longfellow has united the cry for mercy of the blind, the kindly sympathizing words of the disciples (reported by St. Mark), and the gift of Jesus Christ, in his exquisite poem of 'Blind Bartimaeus.' Those mighty voices three -
'Ἰησοῦ ἐλέησόν με!
Θαρ´ρσει ἕγειρε φωνεῖ σὲΝΛ´Ἡ πίστις σου σέσωκέ σε!"
