Luke 18:35 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 18:35

And it came to pass that as he was come nigh unto
Jericho
Which lay in his way to Jerusalem;

a certain blind man sat by the way side begging:
this was not blind Bartimaeus, nor his companion, for they were cured by Christ as he went out of Jericho; but this man before he came to it; for we afterwards read of his entrance into, and passing through Jericho, ( Luke 19:1 ) though much the same things are related in this account, as in that of the other two blind men; (See Gill on Matthew 20:30).

Luke 18:35 In-Context

33 beat him with whips, and kill him. But on the third day, he will rise to life again."

34 The apostles did not understand this; the meaning was hidden from them, and they did not realize what was said.

35 As Jesus came near the city of Jericho, a blind man was sitting beside the road, begging.

36 When he heard the people coming down the road, he asked, "What is happening?"

37 They told him, "Jesus, from Nazareth, is going by."
