Contextual Overview

³⁵ And it came about that when he got near Jericho, a certain blind man was seated by the side of the road, making requests for money from those who went by. ³⁶ And hearing the sound of a great number of people going by, he said, What is this? ³⁷ And they said to him, Jesus of Nazareth is going by. ³⁸ And he said in a loud voice, Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me. ³⁹ And those who were in front made protests and said to him, Be quiet: but he said all the more, O Son of David, have mercy on me. ⁴⁰ And Jesus, stopping, gave orders that he was to come to him, and when he came near, he said to him, ⁴¹ What would you have me do for you? And he said, Lord, that I may be able to see again. ⁴² And Jesus said, See again: your faith has made you well. ⁴³ And straight away he was able to see, and he went after him, giving glory to God; and all the people when they saw it gave praise to God.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by. Some of the company answered him, that Jesus, the prophet of Nazareth, so much talked of, and said to be the Messiah, who was become so famous for his doctrines and miracles, for healing diseases, and dispossessing devils, was just "then" passing by; and this occasioned the noise and clamour.
