Contextual Overview

³⁵ As Yeshua approached Yericho, a blind man was sitting by the road, begging. ³⁶ When he heard the crowd going past, he asked what it was all about; ³⁷ and they told him, "Yeshua from Natzeret is passing by." ³⁸ He called out, "Yeshua! Son of David! Have pity on me!" ³⁹ Those in front scolded him in order to get him to shut up, but he shouted all the louder, "Son of David! Have pity on me!" ⁴⁰ Yeshua stopped and ordered the man to be brought to him. When he had come, Yeshua asked him, ⁴¹ "What do you want me to do for you?" The blind man said, "Lord, let me be able to see." ⁴² Yeshua said to him, "See again! your trust has healed you!" ⁴³ Instantly he received his sight and began following him, glorifying God; and when all the people saw it, they too praised God.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And he cried, saying, Jesus thou son of David,.... Believing him, at once, to be the Messiah; whence he calls him the son of David, which was a character and title of the Messiah, well known to the Jews; :- and therefore immediately called out unto him, being willing to take that opportunity as he passed, and whilst he was within hearing, to make his suit to him for his sight:

saying, have mercy on me: a poor, blind, and miserable creature, and restore me to my sight, which will be an act of singular mercy, and goodness, and will always be gratefully owned as such.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
