Usage: The term τυφλός is used in the New Testament to describe individuals who are physically blind, as well as those who are spiritually blind or lacking understanding. It appears in various contexts, including miracles performed by Jesus, parables, and teachings about spiritual insight. Context: The Greek word τυφλός is frequently encountered in the New Testament, where it is used both literally and metaphorically. Literally, it describes individuals who are unable to see, as seen in the accounts of Jesus healing the blind. For example, in Matthew 9:27-30, Jesus heals two blind men who call out to Him, demonstrating His compassion and divine power: "As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed Him, crying out, 'Have mercy on us, Son of David!'... Then He touched their eyes and said, 'According to your faith will it be done to you'; and their eyes were opened."
