As Jesus and his disciples continued their journey to Jerusalem, they came to Jericho. A blind man was sitting by the roadside begging. He asked Jesus to make him able to see again. Luke does not mention the beggar’s name, but Mark mentions that his name was Bartimaeus. Jesus healed him and told him that the reason he could now see was because he believed in Jesus.
It is good to translate this section before you decide on a heading for it. Some other possible headings for this section are:
Jesus Heals a Blind Man (NCV)
Jesus gives sight to a blind man
There are parallel passages for this section in Matthew 9:27–31, 20:29–34 and Mark 10:46–52.
Those who led the way admonished him to be silent,
Those who were walking ahead of Jesus ordered the blind man to stop shouting.
The people at the front/head of the crowd spoke harshly to him. “Be(sing) quiet!” they said.
Those who led the way: The phrase Those who led the way refers to the people at the front of the crowd that was traveling with Jesus to Jerusalem.
admonished him to be silent: This phrase indicates that the people scolded the blind man by telling him to stop calling out for help. In some languages it may be natural to use direct speech here. For example:
they told him, “Stop shouting, be quiet!”
but he cried out all the louder,
But he shouted even louder to Jesus,
But the blind man began to call to Jesus even more loudly than before, saying,
but he cried out all the louder: The phrase cried out all the louder indicates that the blind man shouted even louder. For example:
But he shouted even louder (GW)
“Son of David, have mercy on me!”
“Descendant of King David, be(sing) merciful to me!”
“I know that you(sing) are the descendant of King David! Please pity me and help me!”
Son of David, have mercy on me!: Here the blind man repeated the same call for help as in 18:38.
