Verse 49
‘And Jesus stood still and said, “Call him.” And they call the blind man saying to him, “Be of good cheer, rise, he calls for you.” ’
Jesus had discerned a voice in the crowd appealing to Him. The man was probably sat in a place for beggars and because he was blind would not have wanted to get caught up in a crowd. So he had remained seated, which had made his cries even more urgent. But no cry to Jesus ever remained unheard. He stopped in His tracks and said, “Call him.”
The crowds attitude now changed. They encouraged the man, telling him to get up. No doubt someone offered help to guide him, or possibly a disciple came to help him.
