The blind receive sight This phrase highlights the miraculous power of Jesus to restore physical sight, symbolizing spiritual enlightenment. The Greek word for "blind" is "τυφλοί" (typhloi), which can also imply spiritual blindness. In the historical context, blindness was often seen as a curse or punishment, yet Jesus' healing acts demonstrate His authority over physical and spiritual realms, fulfilling Isaiah's prophecy (Isaiah 35:5). The lame walk The lepers are cleansed The deaf hear The dead are raised The good news is preached to the poor (1) the words are taken from the LXX. (εὐαγγελίσασθαι πτωχοις... τυφλοῖς ἀνάβλεψιν), which, perhaps, represents a different reading from the Massoretic text (cf. Cheyne, in loc., 'Critical Note'). (2) Our Lord reverses the order of the expressions, taking the restoration of sight to the blind as the commencement of a series of physical miracles, and thus making spiritual work the climax. (3) He does not quote Isaiah's phrase, "liberty to the captives," although the quotation of its context could not but suggest it to John, the reason being, it would seem, that he desired to call John's attention away from the more political part of Messiah's work to that which alone forms the basis of permanent political improvement - the restoration of the individual. . . .
