Sep 26, 2019 · We walk further, drawing close to the man who has cried out for mercy. It is a blind beggar huddled on the side of the road. The crowd tries to silence him, but he persists. His cry is shrill the second time, desperate, like that of a wounded animal. “Son of David, have mercy on me.” Jesus commands the crowd to bring the beggar to him.

Two Blind Men Receive Sight - As Jesus and his disciples were leaving Jericho, a large crowd followed him. Two blind men were sitting by the roadside, and when they heard that Jesus was going by, they shouted, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!” The crowd rebuked them and told them to be quiet, but they shouted all the louder, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!” Jesus stopped ...

A blind man trusts what he has heard about Jesus. Like the persistent widow (Luke 18:1–8), the tax collector (Luke 18:13–14), and the children (Luke 18:15–17), he knows he cannot save himself, so he persistently, humbly, and boldly asks Jesus for help. The beggar is equally unique as are the other characters in the chapter.
