Only Matthew’s account mentions that <strong>blind and lame people</strong> came to him in the temple and that he cured them, just as he had done on an earlier occasion. (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070621/24/0" data-bid="25-1" class="b">Mt 15:30</a>) Some claim that according to Jewish tradition, the blind and the lame were barred from access to certain parts of the temple, although the Hebrew Scriptures do not specifically mention such a prohibition.
