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 They will flog him with a whip and kill him, but on the third day he will rise again.”

34 But they didn’t understand any of this. The significance of his words was hidden from them, and they failed to grasp what he was talking about.

35 As Jesus approached Jericho, a blind beggar was sitting beside the road.

36 When he heard the noise of a crowd going past, he asked what was happening.

37 They told him that Jesus the Nazarene was going by.
