Contextual Overview

35 It happened, as he came near Yericho, a certain blind man sat by the road, begging. 36 Hearing a multitude going by, he asked what this meant. 37 They told him that Yeshua of Natzeret was passing by. 38 He cried out, "Yeshua, you son of David, have mercy on me!" 39 Those who led the way rebuked him, that he should be quiet; but he cried out all the more, "You son of David, have mercy on me!" 40 Yeshua, standing, commanded him to be brought to him. When he had come near, he asked him, 41 "What do you want me to do?" He said, "Lord, that I may see again." 42 Yeshua said to him, "Receive your sight. Your faith has healed you." 43 Immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God. All the people, when they saw it, praised God.

Luke 19:1 though much the same things are related in this account, as in that of the other two blind men; Luke 19:1- :.
