The Key Word — ἀναβλέπουσιν, anablepōgenerated
The verb ἀναβλέπω is a present active indicative form, meaning 'to receive sight' or 'to look up again.' It indicates a restoration of vision, both physically and metaphorically, as seen in contexts of healing throughout the New Testament.
This word is built from the prefix ἀνα- (up) and the root βλέπω (to see), emphasizing the action of recovering sight. It is used specifically in the context of miraculous healings performed by Jesus, highlighting His role in restoring both physical sight and spiritual insight.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
In the Berean Standard Bible, the phrase is rendered as receive sight, which is consistent with the KJV and ASV. The emphasis remains on the act of restoration.
However, the BBE uses those who were not able to, are walking, which shifts the focus slightly to those who were previously unable to walk. The translations generally agree on the miraculous nature of the actions described.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The structure of this verse consists of multiple clauses, each detailing a miraculous action. The main verb ἀναβλέπουσιν governs the subject τυφλοὶ, while each subsequent clause follows a similar pattern, listing subjects and their corresponding actions.
Each subject (the blind, the lame, the lepers, the deaf, the dead, and the poor) is paired with a verb that describes the miracle or action performed, creating a rhythm that emphasizes the comprehensive nature of Jesus' ministry.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
τυφλός appears in the Septuagint, notably in Isaiah 29:18, where it describes the restoration of sight as a sign of God's intervention. This connection underscores the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies in Jesus' ministry.
καθαρίζω is also present in the Septuagint, translating the Hebrew word for cleansing, as seen in Leviticus 14:7. This reinforces the theme of purification and healing in Jesus' actions.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Matthew 11:5 describes the miracles Jesus performed: the blind receive sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is preached to the poor. Each of these actions highlights Jesus' power and compassion, showing that He came to heal both physical and spiritual ailments.
Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated
This refers to both physical healing of blindness and spiritual enlightenment, indicating that Jesus restores sight to those who are lost.
This highlights His authority to heal physical disabilities, demonstrating His compassion and power over illness.
Cleansing lepers signifies Jesus' ability to purify and heal those considered unclean, showing His willingness to reach out to the marginalized.

Reflection Questionsgenerated
- How can I recognize areas in my life where I need spiritual sight restored?
- In what ways can I support those who are physically or spiritually in need?
- How does understanding Jesus' miracles deepen my faith in His power?
- What does it mean for me to share the good news with those who are poor or marginalized?

At least one instance of each class of miracle has already been recorded by St. Matthew, the blind (Matthew 9:27), the lame (Matthew 9:6), the leper (Matthew 8:2), the dead (Matthew 9:25). The raising of the widow’s son at Nain, which in St. Luke follows closely upon the healing of the centurion’s servant, must also have preceded what is here narrated. What the Baptist needed was, not the knowledge of fresh facts, but a different way of looking at those he already knew. Where these works were done, there were tokens that the coming One had indeed come. But above…

Every translation is an argument about meaning made by someone who had to commit to one. These two were made while the Greek was still a living language, and they are the oldest opinions we have about what this verse says.

The Greek word τυφλός (i.e., *typhlos*) means 'blind' and can refer to both physical and metaphorical blindness. It appears frequently in the New Testament, often in contexts discussing spiritual or mental blindness, as seen in Matthew and John. The term is derived from a root meaning 'to raise a smoke,' suggesting a state of obscurity or darkness.
τυφλός, -od, 6, (τύφω, to raise a smoke; hence prop. ‘darkened by smoke’), fr. Hom. down, Sept. for 11y, blind ; a. prop.: Mt. ix. 27sq.; xi. 5; Mk. viii. 22 sq-; x. 46; Lk. vii. 21sq.; xiv. 13,21; Jn. ix. 1 sq. 13; x. 21, ete. b. as often in prof. auth. fr.

Blind beggars are frequently mentioned (Matt. 9:27; 12:22; 20:30; John 5:3). The blind are to be treated with compassion (Lev. 19:14; Deut. 27:18). Blindness was sometimes a punishment for disobedience (1 Sam. 11:2; Jer. 39:7), sometimes the effect of old age (Gen. 27:1; 1 Kings 14:4; 1 Sam. 4:15). Conquerors sometimes blinded their captives (2 Kings…

The Greek word ἀναβλέπω (i.e., *anablepo*) is composed of the prefix ἀνα- meaning 'up' and the root βλέπω meaning 'to see.' It generally means 'to look up' or 'to recover sight.' The New Testament uses it in contexts of physical healing, such as in Matthew 11:5 and Mark 8:24, where it refers to regaining vision.
ἀνα-βλέπω ; 1 aor. ἀνέβλεψα; [fr. Hdt. down]; 1. to look up: Mk. viii. 24, [25 RGL]; xvi. 4; Lk. xix. 5; xxi.1; Acts xxii. 13; εἴς twa, ibid.; εἰς τὸν οὐρανόν, Mt. xiv. 19; Mk. vi. 41; vii. 34, (Plat. Axioch. p. 370b.; Xen. Cyr. 6, 4, 9). 2. to recover (lost) sight: Mt. xi. 5; xx. 34; Lk. xviii. 41 sqq., ete. ([Hdt. 2, 111;] Plat. Phaedrus p. 243 b. παραχρῆμα ἀνέβλεψε, Arstph. Plut. 126); used somewhat loosely also of the man blind from birth who was cured by Christ, Jn. ix. 11 (12) (cf. Meyer ad loc.), 17 sq. (Paus. 4, 12, 7 (10) συνέβη τὸν ᾿Οφιονέα «τὸν ἐκ γενετῆς τυφλὸν ἀναβλέψαι). Cf. Win. De verb. comp. ete. Pt. iii. p. 7 sq.

καί (kai) is a conjunction meaning 'and,' used to connect words, phrases, and clauses. It serves various functions, including copulative and adjunctive uses, and can express cumulative ideas like 'also' or 'even.' The New Testament frequently employs it to link terms and sentences, as seen in verses like Matthew 2:18 and John 10:3. Abbott-Smith notes its use in both simple and complex structures, while Thayer emphasizes its role as the most common particle in the New Testament.
καί, a conj., and; the most freq. by far of all the particles in the N. T. [On its uses see W. § 53, 3sqq.; B. 361 (310) sqq., and ef.

The Greek word χωλός (cholos) means 'lame' or 'halt,' specifically referring to someone who limps or is crippled. It can also be used metaphorically to describe something that is defective or imperfect. The New Testament uses this term in various contexts, including physical ailments and spiritual weaknesses.
χωλός, -7, -όν, fr. Hom. down, Sept. for md3, lame : Acts iii. 2, 11 Rec.; xiv. 8; plur., Mt. xi. 5; xv. 30sq.; xxi. 14; Lk. vii. 225 xiv. 18, 21; Jn.v.3; Acts vill. 7; τὸ χωλόν, Heb. xii. 13 (on which see ἐκτρέπω, 1). deprived of a foot, maimed, [A. V. halt]: Mt. xviii. 8; Mk. ix. 45.
χωλός, “lame.” A good ex. of this adj. is afforded by the personal description in a note of sale, Preisigke 428° (B.C. 99) εὐθύρ(ινος) ὑποσκνιφο[ῦ] χωλ[οῦ, “‘straightnosed, near-sighted, lame.” See also BGU IV. 1196% (B.c. 10), III. 712+ 8120 (ji/a.p.), and P Cairo Goodsp 30 =1.21 (A.D. 191-2), and for a metaph. usage Herodas I. 71 (ed.

lam (piceach, nakheh; cholos):
(1) The condition of being unable or imperfectly able to walk, which unfitted any descendant of Aaron so afflicted for service in the priesthood (Le 21:18), and rendered an animal unsuitable for sacrifice (De 15:21). The offering of animals so blemished was one of the sins with which Malachi charges the negligent Jews of his time (Mal 1:8-13).
(2) Those who suffered from lameness, such as Mephibosheth, whose limbs were injured by a fall in childhood (2Sa 4:4; 9:3). In the prophetic description of the completeness of the victory of the returning Israelites, it is predicted that the lame shall be made whole and shall leap like a hart (

περιπατέω means to walk or to conduct oneself, often used metaphorically to describe how one lives or behaves. It is derived from the components meaning 'around' and 'to tread.' The New Testament uses it in various contexts, including physical walking (e.g., Matthew 9:5) and ethical living (e.g., Ephesians 4:1). There is a note of variation in how lexicons emphasize its metaphorical use, particularly in relation to living a certain way.

wok (peripatein): Aside from its frequent occurrence in the usual sense, the word "walk" is used figuratively of conduct and of spiritual states. (1) Observance of laws or customs: "Thou teachest all the Jews who are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children, neither to walk after the customs" (Ac 21:21). (2) Of the spiritual life: "If we walk in the light, as he is in the light" (1Joh 1:7); "That like as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life" (Ro 6:4); "Walk by the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh" (Ga 5:16); "For we walk by faith, not by sight"…
Is often figuratively used to denote a man’s mode of life, or his spiritual character, course, and relations, Eze 11:20. He may walk as a carnal or as a spiritual man, Ro 8:1; with God, or in ignorance and sin, Ge 5:24 1Jo 5:21; in the fire of affliction, Isa 43:2, or in the light, purity, and joy of Christ’s favor here and in heaven, Ps 89:15 Re 3:4.

καί (kai) is a conjunction meaning 'and,' used to connect words, phrases, and clauses. It serves various functions, including copulative and adjunctive uses, and can express cumulative ideas like 'also' or 'even.' The New Testament frequently employs it to link terms and sentences, as seen in verses like Matthew 2:18 and John 10:3. Abbott-Smith notes its use in both simple and complex structures, while Thayer emphasizes its role as the most common particle in the New Testament.

κωφός (kōphos) means blunt or dull, and is used metaphorically to describe someone who is deaf or mute. In the New Testament, it appears in contexts referring to both deafness (e.g., Matthew 11:5) and muteness (e.g., Matthew 9:32). The word is derived from a root meaning to beat or pound, reflecting its original sense of being blunted.
κωφός, -7, -dv, (κόπτω to beat, pound), blunted, dull; prop. βέλος, Hom. Il. 11, 390; hence a. blunted (or lamed) in tongue; dumb: Mt. ix. 32 sq.; xii. 22; xv. 30sq.; Lk. i. 22; xi. 14, (Hat. et sqq.; Sept. for obs Hab. ii. 18). b. blunted, dull,in hearing; deaf: Mt. xi. 5; Mk. vii. 32, 37; ix. 25; Lk. vii. 22, (Hom. h.

def (cheresh; kophos): Used either in the physical sense, or figuratively as expressing unwillingness to hear the Divine message (Ps 58:4), or incapacity to understand it for want of spirituality (Ps 38:13). The prophetic utterances were sufficiently forcible to compel even such to hear (Isa 42:18; 43:8) and thereby to receive the Divine mercy (Isa 29:18; 35:5).
The expression "deaf adder that stoppeth her car" (Ps 58:4) alludes to a curious notion that the adder, to avoid hearing the voice of the charmer, laid its head with one car on the ground and stopped the other with the tip of its tail (Diary of John Manninghan…

The Greek word ἀκούω, transliterated as akouo, means 'to hear' or 'to listen.' It covers a range of meanings from simply hearing sounds to understanding and obeying what is said. In the New Testament, it appears in various contexts, including commands to listen (e.g., Mk 4:3) and references to understanding (e.g., 1 Cor 14:2). The lexicons do not show significant disagreement.

The Greek word ἐγείρω (*egeirō*) means to awaken or arouse, both literally and metaphorically. It encompasses a range of meanings, including waking from sleep, raising from the dead, and stirring oneself to action.

It serves various functions, including copulative and adjunctive uses, and can express cumulative ideas like 'also' or 'even.'

The Greek word πτωχός (ptochos) is derived from πτώσσω, meaning to crouch or cower. It primarily refers to a beggar or someone who is poor, often in a destitute sense, and is used in both literal and metaphorical contexts. The New Testament uses it to describe physical poverty (e.g., Luke 14:13) and spiritual lowliness (e.g., Matthew 5:3).
πτωχός, -ή, -ov, (πτώσσω, to be thoroughly frizhtened, to cower down or hide one’s self for fear; hence πτωχός prop. one who slinks and crouches), often involving the idea of roving about in wretchedness [see πένης, fin.; “but it always had a bad sense till it was ennobled in the Gospels; see Mt. v. 3; Lk. vi. 20, ef. 2 Co. viii. 9” (L. and 5. 5. v.

poor ('ebhyon, dal, `ani, rush; ptochos):
I. In the Old Testament.
The poor have great prominence in the Bible; it is said, indeed, that there should be no poor among the Hebrews because Yahweh should so greatly bless them (De 15:4 the Revised Version (British and American) and the King James Version margin); but this was only to be realized on certain conditions of obedience (De 15:5), and in De 15:11 it is said,"The poor will never cease out of the land"; but they were to see to it that none was left in destitution. The very foundation of the Hebrew religion was God's pity on a poor and oppressed people.
1. The Terms Employed:
Poor
The Mosaic legislation regarding the poor is specially important. (1.) They had the right of gleaning the fields (Lev. 19:9, 10; Deut. 24:19,21).
(2.) In the sabbatical year they were to have their share of the produce of the fields and the vineyards (Ex. 23:11; Lev. 25:6).
(3.) In the year of jubilee they recovered their property (Lev. 25:25-30).
(4.) Usury was forbidden, and the pledged raiment was to be returned before the sun went down (Ex. 22:25-27; Deut. 24:10-13). The rich were to be generous to the…
The general kindly spirit of the law toward the poor is sufficiently shown by such passages as (15:7) for the reason that (ver. 11) "the poor shall never cease out of the land." Among the special enactments in their favor the following must be mentioned: The right of gleaning. (Leviticus 19:9,10; 24:19,21) From the produce of the land in sabbatical years the poor and the stranger were to have their portion. (Exodus 23:11; Leviticus 25:6) Re-entry upon land in the jubilee year, with the limitation as to town homes. (Leviticus 25:25-30) Prohibition of usury and of retention of pledges. (Exodus 22:25-27;
Ps 12:5 41:1-3, especially cared for in the Jewish dispensation, Ex 23:6 Pr 14:31, and even more so under the gospel, Mt 25:42-45 Jas 2:5. The slight offerings required of them by the law were as acceptable as the hecatombs of the rich, Le 5:7-13 Mr 12:41-44. The gleanings of the fields, the olive trees, and the vines, were to be left for them, Le 19:9 De 24:19

εὐαγγελίζω is a verb meaning to announce good news, particularly in a Christian context referring to the gospel. It is derived from roots meaning 'good' and 'message.' The New Testament frequently uses it to describe the act of proclaiming the message of salvation through Christ, as seen in verses like Luke 4:18 and Romans 1:15. The lexicons do not show significant disagreement on its meanings.
εὐαγγελίζω : 1 aor. εὐηγγέλισα (Rev. x. 7; xiv. 6; 1S. xxxi. 9; 2S. xviii. 19; W. 71 (69); [B. 35 (30)]); Pass., pres. εὐαγγελίζομαι : pf. ptep. εὐηγγελισμένοι (Heb. iv. 2); 1 aor. εὐηγγελίσθην; Mid., pres. evayyed (Copat ; impf. εὐηγγελιζόμην (Acts viii. 25 LT Tr WH); 1 aor. εὐηγγελισάμην ; (εὐάγγελος bringing good news); Sept. for Wa; to bring good news, to announce glad tidings; Vulg. evangelizo [ete.]; used in the O.

For the rare use of the active of this verb, as in Rev τοῦ, 148, we can now appeal not only to Dion Cass, Ixi. 13. 4 where the reading is doubtful, but to P Giss I. 275 (end of Trajan’s reign or beginning of Hadrian’s) (= Chrest. I. 17) where reference is made to the arrival from Memphis of a slave of the strategus Apollonius, announcing a victory he had gained—é]pxopévw εὐαγγελίζοντι τὰ τῆς velkns αὐτοῦ καὶ προκοπῆς.
