And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight . "Magnifique aumone du Christ" (Pressense'). Thy faith hath saved thee. The American Longfellow has united the cry for mercy of the blind, the kindly sympathizing words of the disciples, and the gift of Jesus Christ, in his exquisite poem of 'Blind Bartimaeus.' "Those mighty voices three— ' ἰησοῦ ἐλέησόν με ! θαῤῥσει ἕγειρε φωνεῖ σε ἡ πίστις σου σέσωκέ σε !" read more

113. Blind men near Jericho (Matthew 20:29-34; Mark 10:46-52; Luke 18:35-43)It seems that Jesus healed several blind beggars as he passed through Jericho (Matthew 20:29-30; Mark 10:46; Luke 18:35). The men were determined to attract the attention of Jesus and called out loudly, addressing him by his messianic title, son of David.

And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath made thee whole.Gilmour's terse comment here is that "Mark's graphic details are omitted,"[37] which, of course, is proof that Luke was not copying Mark, nor is there the slightest hard evidence that Luke ever saw the Gospel of Mark.

40. commanded, c.—Mark ( :-) has this interesting addition: "And they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good comfort, rise, He calleth thee"—just as one earnestly desiring an interview with some exalted person, but told by one official after another that it is vain to wait, as he will not succeed (they know it), yet persists in waiting for some answer to his suit, and at length the door opens, and a servant appears, saying, "You will be admitted—he has called you."

We owe him some gratitude in that it was his necessity which provided our... read more
