Neville Goddard on Matthew 21:14-16 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Matthew 21 in context

Scripture Focus

14And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them.

15And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the son of David; they were sore displeased,

16And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?

Matthew 21:14-16

Biblical Context

In the temple, the blind and lame are healed. Children praise aloud, while the authorities protest.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the gospel scene you are the temple; the blind and the lame in that temple are your former separations of mind. Do not beg for healing from outside; assume the consciousness that already heals. The I AM in you—Christ within—restores sight and mobility by a shift in awareness, not in circumstance. The chief priests and scribes are your doubts that protest any new result; the children crying Hosanna are the fresh insights, the breath of faith, the spontaneous praise that arises when you refuse to argue with what is unfolding. Read, 'Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise' as a statement about your own inner speech: the most innocent, uncontrived affirmation carries the power to crown your experience. Healing follows recognition: as you acknowledge the wholeness you are, the seen world aligns with that inner state. The temple becomes a sanctuary where limitation dissolves because you finally concede that your awareness is the source of all. In that concession, praise is perfected, and reality is rearranged to match.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and enter the temple within; see the blind and lame becoming whole, and hear the babes' praise rising. Then declare I am healed until the feeling of reality is alive.
