And the fame of this went abroad into all that land.
All Commentaries on Matthew 9:26 Go To Matthew 9
Hilary of Poitiers
AD 368
Mystically; The Lord enters the ruler’s house, that is, the synagogue, throughout which there resounded in the songs of the Law a strain of wailing.
But that the number of the elect might be known to be but few out of the wholebody of believers, the multitude is put forth; the Lord indeed would that they should be saved, but they mocked at His sayings and actions, and so were notworthy to be made partakers of His resurrection.
“His fame went about into all that country;” that is, the salvation of the elect, the gift and works of Christ are preached.
