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 On the third day, he will rise from the dead!"

34 The disciples did not understand any of this. Its meaning was hidden from them. So they didn't know what Jesus was talking about.

35 Jesus was approaching Jericho. A blind man was sitting by the side of the road begging.

36 The blind man heard the crowd going by. He asked what was happening.

37 They told him, "Jesus of Nazareth is passing by."
