A Prophecy Fulfilled in Jesus
All the commentators agree that this verse is a direct prophecy fulfilled by Jesus Christ. His miracles of restoring sight to the blind and hearing to the deaf were not just random acts of kindness but powerful signs proving He was the promised Messiah. As Albert Barnes notes, Jesus himself pointed to these specific miracles as evidence of his identity.
