Charles Spurgeon Commentary Mark 10:48

"And many rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried out the more a great deal, Thou son of David, have mercy on me." — Mark 10:48 (ASV)

And many charged him that he should hold his peace:

"Hush! Be quiet! Do not disturb him! Hear what an eloquent sermon he is delivering." Yes, but he thought of his poor blind eyes, and of the only hope he now had before him of having them opened.
