Exegesis
The recipient eyes are indicated by the genitive phrase tōn ommatōn autōn {τῶν ὀμμάτων αὐτῶν | tōn ommátōn autōn}, specifying the part healed.
The adverb euthéōs {εὐθέως | euthéōs} “immediately” highlights the instant result of the healing, anéblepsan {ἀνέβλεψαν | anéblepsan} “they received sight,” and the coordinated aorist ēkolouthēsan {ἠκολούθησαν | ēkolouthēsan} “they followed,” with autō {αὐτῷ | autō} marking the one whom they follow. This sequence of participle plus coordinated aorists tightly links internal compassion with physical restoration and the resulting committed following.
In context — Matthew 20:34
But Jesus , having been moved with compassion, touched their eyes , and at once they received their sight and followed Him.
