But they, when they were departed, spread abroad his fame in all that country.
But as soon as they left, they couldn't keep quiet about it, they told everyone in the whole region what Jesus had done for them.
When God changes your life, keeping it to yourself isn't really an option.
📚 Historical Context
In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus is actively ministering in Galilee, where He performs various miracles, including healing two blind men who demonstrated strong faith in Him. Despite Jesus' explicit warning to keep their healing a secret to avoid stirring up crowds or opposition from religious leaders, the men disregarded this and enthusiastically spread news of His power throughout the region. This reflects the rapid growth of Jesus' reputation during His early ministry, amid a time of increasing scrutiny from authorities.
