Luca 18:39

39 E quelli che precedevano lo sgridavano perché tacesse; ma lui gridava più forte: Figliuol di Davide, abbi pietà di me!

Luca 18:39 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 18:39

And they that went before
In the company that preceded Christ; for he, as yet, was not come right over against the blind man:

rebuked him that he should hold his peace;
being not well pleased that he should call him the son of David, which was acknowledging him to be the Messiah; or that he might not be troublesome to Christ, and retard his journey:

but he cried so much the more, thou son of David, have mercy on
me;
he neither dropped the character of Christ, nor his request to him; but called out more loudly, and with greater vehemence, earnestness, and importunity: so persons sensible of their need of Christ, and of his worth, excellency, and ability, are not to be discouraged from an application to him, by whatsoever they meet with from men, or devils.

Luca 18:39 In-Context

37 E gli fecero sapere che passava Gesù il Nazareno.

38 Allora egli gridò: Gesù figliuol di Davide, abbi pietà di me!

39 E quelli che precedevano lo sgridavano perché tacesse; ma lui gridava più forte: Figliuol di Davide, abbi pietà di me!

40 E Gesù, fermatosi, comandò che gli fosse menato; e quando gli fu vicino, gli domandò:

41 Che vuoi tu ch’io ti faccia? Ed egli disse: Signore, ch’io ricuperi la vista.
