Contextual Overview
27 Jesus went on from there. Two blind men followed Him. They called out, "Take pity on us, Son of David." 28 Jesus went into the house. The blind men came to Him. Then Jesus said to them, "Do you have faith that I can do this?" They said to Him, "Yes, Sir!" 29 Then Jesus put His hands on their eyes and said, "You will have what you want because you have faith." 30 Their eyes were opened. Jesus told them to tell no one. 31 But when they had gone, they told about Him everywhere in the country. 32 As they went on their way, a man who had a demon and could not talk was brought to Jesus. 33 When the demon was put out of him, the man was able to talk. Many people were surprised and wondered about it. They said, "We have never seen in the nation of the Jews like this." 34 But the proud religious law-keepers said, "He puts out demons by the help of the leader of the demons."

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And when Jesus departed thence,.... From the house of Jairus, to another in the same city;
two blind men followed him: very closely, by the direction of others, having heard of the miracle just now performed by him; and from thence concluded he was able to restore them to their sight;
crying and saying, with great faith and fervour, with much importunity, and frequently repeating the following words,
thou son of David, have mercy on us. Whence it appears, that they firmly believed, and were fully persuaded, that he was the true Messiah; for "the son of David" was a known character of the Messiah among the Jews: nothing was more common than to call him by this title, without any other additional epithet, see Gill "Mt 1:1", and since it had been prophesied of the Messiah, that he should "open the eyes of the blind", Isaiah 35:5 they might be greatly encouraged to hope and believe they should obtain mercy from him in this respect.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
And when Jesus departed thence - The scene of this miracle was near Capernaum. The blind men probably followed him with their cry for aid immediately on his leaving the house of Jairus.
Thou Son of David - By the Son of David the Jews meant the Messiah. He was the descendant or Son of David by way of eminence, Isaiah 9:7; Luke 1:32; Revelation 22:16. See the notes at Matthew 1:1. This was therefore a profession of belief, on the part of these blind men, of the Messiahship of Jesus, and, at the same time, the expression of a belief that, being the Messiah, he could heal them.
Have mercy on us - That is, show compassion toward us in our affliction, and restore to us the blessing of sight.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Matthew 9:27. Son of David — This was the same as if they had called him Messiah. Two things here are worthy of remark:
1st. That it was a generally received opinion at this time in Judea, that the Messiah should be son of David. (John 7:42.)
2dly. That Jesus Christ was generally and incontestably acknowledged as coming from this stock. Matthew 12:23.
Have mercy on us. — That man has already a measure of heavenly light who knows that he has no merit; that his cry should be a cry for mercy; that he must be fervent, and that in praying he must follow Jesus Christ as the true Messiah, the son of David, expected from heaven.
