Charles Spurgeon Commentary Luke 18:37-38

"And they told him that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by. And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me." — Luke 18:37-38 (ASV)

And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by. And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me.

If he could not see, he could hear. So, dear friends, like this blind man, use what senses you have. Faith cometh by hearing; so it came to this man, and as soon as he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth who was passing by, he began to pray to him. Oh, that some of you would also pray to him as soon as you hear that he is near! Deep down, from your very soul, let this cry go up, Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me.
