Luke 18:37 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 18:37

And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.
] Some of the company answered him, that Jesus, the prophet of Nazareth, so much talked of, and said to be the Messiah, who was become so famous for his doctrines and miracles, for healing diseases, and dispossessing devils, was just "then" passing by; and this occasioned the noise and clamour.

Luke 18:37 In-Context

35 As Jesus came near to Jericho, there was a blind man sitting by the way-side begging.

36 He heard a crowd of people going past, and inquired what it all meant.

37 "Jesus the Nazarene is passing by," they told him.

38 Then, at the top of his voice, he cried out, "Jesus, son of David, take pity on me."

39 Those in front reproved him and tried to silence him; but he continued shouting, louder than ever, "Son of David, take pity on me."
