The Key Word — ἐθεράπευσεν, therapeuōgenerated
The verb θεραπεύω (therapeuō) means to heal or serve. In this context, it specifically refers to the act of restoring health, often associated with Jesus' miracles throughout the Gospels.
This verb is in the aorist tense, indicating a completed action. Jesus healed the blind and lame fully, both physically and spiritually, showcasing His divine authority and compassion.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
In the Berean Standard Bible, the verse reads, 'The blind and the lame came to Him at the temple, and He healed them.' This wording is consistent across the KJV and ASV, which also emphasize the healing aspect.
However, the Young's Literal Translation presents it slightly differently, using 'there came to him blind and lame men in the temple,' which maintains the same meaning but shifts the phrasing.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb is προσῆλθον, they came, which governs the entire verse. It is followed by a prepositional phrase indicating location and a clause that describes the action taken by Jesus.
The structure is straightforward: the subject (the blind and lame) performs the action (came), and the subsequent clause details the outcome (He healed them). This clear structure highlights the sequence of events.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
τυφλός is used in the Septuagint to translate the Hebrew word עִוֵּר (H5787), meaning 'blind.' This connection emphasizes the continuity of God's healing power from the Old Testament to the New.
χωλός, similarly, corresponds to the Hebrew פִּסֵּחַ (H6455), meaning 'lame.' Both terms reflect the physical ailments that Jesus addressed in His ministry.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Matthew 21:14 tells us that the blind and lame came to Jesus in the temple, and He healed them. This shows His power to restore health and His compassion for those in need.

They now followed the great Healer into the Temple itself, and sought at His hands relief from their infirmities. If we were to accept the LXX. reading of the strange proverbial saying of 2 Samuel 5:8, “The blind and the lame shall not come into the house of the Lord,” it would seem as if this were a departure from the usual regulations of the Temple; but the words in italics are not in the Hebrew. Most commentators give an entirely different meaning to the proverb, and there is no evidence from Jewish writers that the blind and…

The blind and the lame came] Having condemned the profane use of the temple, he now shows the proper use of it. It is a house of prayer, where God is to manifest his goodness and power in giving sight to the spiritually blind, and feet to the lame. The Church or chapel in which the blind and the lame are not healed has no Christ in it, and is not worthy of attendance.

St Mark says (Matthew 11:11) that “when he had looked round about on all things there, the eventide being come he went back to Bethany.” In point of time “the cursing of the fig-tree” should precede the “Cleansing of the Temple.” St Mark adds to this account “would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple.” St Matthew alone mentions the healing of the lame and the blind, and omits the incident of “the widow’s mite,” recorded by the other Synoptists.

The earliest translations — Latin and Syriac
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.
Et accesserunt ad eum cæci, et claudi in templo : et sanavit eos.
Jerome revised the Old Latin against the Greek from AD 382; the Latin west read this text for a thousand years.

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.

προσέρχομαι (proserchomai) means to approach or draw near, often in a physical or metaphorical sense, such as approaching God in worship. It appears frequently in the New Testament, including in Matthew and Hebrews, and can also imply consent or agreement, as seen in 1 Timothy 6:3. The word is built from the components for 'to' and 'come,' and its usage spans various contexts, including both literal and figurative approaches.

αὐτός is a pronoun meaning 'self' or 'the same,' used to emphasize distinction or opposition. It can function as a reflexive pronoun and appears frequently in the New Testament, often in contexts that highlight contrast or identity, such as in Luke 5:37 and John 2:25. The entries indicate that it can also be used in various grammatical constructions, including with articles to denote sameness.

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.

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).

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.

(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 (

PREP PREPosition
A principal thing to notice about this preposition, which in the King James Version represents about 16 Hebrew and as many Greek words and prepositions, is that, in hundreds of cases (especially in the Old Testament, but frequently also in the New Testament) in the Revised Version (British and American) the rendering is changed to more exact forms ("to," "unto," "by," "upon," "at," "with," "among," "for," "throughout," etc.; compare e.g. Ge 6:16; 13:8; 17:7,9,12; 18:1; Ex 8:17; Le 1:9, etc.); while, nearly as often, "in" is substituted for divergent forms of the King James Version (e.g. Ge 2:14; 17:11; 31:54; 40:7; 49:17; Ex…

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.

The Greek word ἱερόν (i.e., *hieron*) refers to a temple or sacred place, specifically the entire precincts of a temple, as opposed to the inner sanctuary. It is derived from the adjective ἱερός (*hieros*), meaning holy or sacred. In the New Testament, it appears frequently in the Gospels and Acts, indicating various parts of the temple in Jerusalem, including its courts and surrounding areas.
WE have in our Version only the one word ‘temple’ for both of these; nor is it easy to perceive in what manner we could have marked the distinction between them; which is yet a very real one, and one the marking of which would often add much to the clearness and precision of the sacred narrative (see Fuller, A Pisgah Sight of Palestine, p. 427). ὑἹερόν (=templum) is the whole com8ὃπι.:.

Temple
First used of the tabernacle, which is called “the temple of the Lord” (1 Sam. 1:9). In the New Testament the word is used figuratively of Christ’s human body (John 2:19, 21). Believers are called “the temple of God” (1 Cor. 3:16, 17). The Church is designated “an holy temple in the Lord” (Eph. 2:21). Heaven is also called a temple (Rev. 7:5). We read also of the heathen “temple of the great goddess Diana” (Acts 19:27).
There is perhaps no building of the ancient world which has excited so much attention since the time of its destruction as the temple which Solomon built by Herod. Its spoils were considered worthy of forming the principal illustration of one of the most beautiful of Roman triumphal arches, and Justinian’s highest architectural ambition was that he might surpass it. Throughout the middle ages it influenced to a considerable degree the forms of Christian churches, and its peculiarities were the watchwords and rallying-points of all associations of builders. When the French expedition to Egypt, int he first years of this century, had made the world familiar with the wonderful architectural remains of that country, every one jumped to the conclusion that Solomon’s temple must have been designed after an Egyptian model.

A building hallowed by the special presence of God, and consecrated to his worship. The distinctive idea of a temple, contrasted with all other buildings, is that it is the dwelling-place of a deity; and every heathen temple had its idol, but the true and living God dwelt "between the cherubim" in the Holy of Holies at Jerusalem. Hence, figuratively applied, a temple denotes the church of Christ, 2Th 2:4 Re 3:12; heaven, Ps 11:4 Re 7:15; and the soul of the believer, in which the Holy Spirit dwells, 1Co 3:16,17 6:19 2Co 6:16.

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.

αὐτός is a pronoun meaning 'self' or 'the same,' used to emphasize distinction or opposition. It can function as a reflexive pronoun and appears frequently in the New Testament, often in contexts that highlight contrast or identity, such as in Luke 5:37 and John 2:25. The entries indicate that it can also be used in various grammatical constructions, including with articles to denote sameness.

It is used by the bibl. writ. both of the O. T. and of the N.
