32: The construction of the words here lets us know that the ‘they’ refers to the two blind men, now healed. They went out and found this man, who they evidently knew, and brought him to Christ. As funny as it may sound, this was just as much an act of faith as believing that Jesus could heal them. Many of us, receiving great things from Almighty God, fail to share our knowledge of him with others. We think that he cannot help in their troubles. We are afraid, or lazy, and do not talk to them about him. These men likely had this in their plans the whole time. Once they had their sight, they knew just what they would do. Though Jesus had told them to keep quiet about their miracle, this one was done in public. This may partially explain their failure to keep their miracle quiet.
