CCEL Footnote 2153 (In-Text, Margin)

[25] And when Jesus went out of Jericho, he and his disciples, there came after him [26] a great multitude. And there was a blind man sitting by the way side begging. [27] And his name was Timæus, the son of Timæus. And he heard the sound of the [28] multitude passing, and asked, Who is this?[Luke 18:37] They said unto him, Jesus the Nazarene [29] passeth by. And when he heard that it was Jesus, he called out with a loud [30] voice, and said, Jesus, son of David, have mercy on me. And those that went before Jesus were rebuking him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried the [31] more, and said, Son of David, have mercy on me. And Jesus stood, ...

Of the Two Blind Men and the Dumb Demoniac Whose Stories are Related Only by Matthew. (HTML)

CCEL Footnote 960 (In-Text, Margin)

69. Matthew proceeds with his narrative in the following terms: “And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed Him, crying and saying, Thou son of David, have mercy on us;” and so on, down to the verse where we read, “But the Pharisees said, He casteth out devils through the prince of the devils.” Matthew is the only one who introduces this account of the two blind men and the dumb demoniac. For those two blind men, whose story is given also by the others,[Luke 18:35-43] are not the two before us here. Nevertheless there is such similarity in the occurrences, that if Matthew himself had not recorded the latter incident as well as the former, it might have been thought that the one which he relates at present has also been given by ...

CCEL Footnote 1129 (In-Text, Margin)

126. But Luke, although he mentions an incident altogether of the same tenor, is nevertheless to be understood as really narrating only a similar miracle which was wrought in the case of another blind man, and as putting on record its similarity to the said miracle in the method of performance. For he states that it was performed when He was coming nigh unto Jericho;[Luke 18:35-43] while the others say that it took place when He was departing from Jericho. Now the name of the city, and the resemblance in the deed, favour the supposition that there was but one such occurrence. But still, the idea that the evangelists really contradict each other here, in so far as the one says, “As He was ...

... restored to hope by whom even Christ was slain? After this many believed; they were presented with Christ’s blood as a gift, that they might drink it for their salvation, rather than be held guilty of shedding it. Who can despair? And if the thief was saved on the cross,—a murderer shortly before, a little afterwards accused, convicted, condemned, hanged, delivered,—wonder not. The place of his conviction was that of his condemnation; while that of his conversion was the place also of his deliverance.[Luke 18:34-43] Among this people, then, to whom the Lord was speaking, were those who should yet die in their sin: there were those also who should yet believe on Him who spake, and find deliverance from all their sin.
