What Matthew 9:26 means

As a result of this extraordinary miracle—the raising of the ruler's daughter—the fame of Jesus spread throughout all that land. This highlights the profound impact and undeniable nature of His power. The news of such a wonder would have undoubtedly amplified His reputation, drawing more people to Him in hope and curiosity, but also potentially increasing the opposition from those who resisted His divine claims.
