And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David?
All Commentaries on Matthew 12:23 Go To Matthew 12
Theophylact of Ochrid
AD 1107
The demon had stopped up the avenues towards faith, that is, the eyes, the hearing, and the tongue. But Jesus healed, and was called the Son of David by the multitude. For the Christ was expected to come from the seed of David. And so now, if you see a man who neither understands the good, nor accepts the words of another, consider him blind and dumb, and may God touch his heart and heal him.
