211

Was it one or two blind men that sat by the wayside beseeching him to heal them?

Mark: “Blind Bartimeus, the son of Timeus, sat by the highway side begging. And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me” ([x, 46, 47]).

Luke: “A certain blind man sat by the wayside begging: ... And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me” ([xviii, 35, 38]).

Matthew: “Two blind men sitting by the wayside, when they heard that Jesus passed by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou son of David” ([xx, 30]).
