Jesus Seeks the Outcast
Multiple commentators, especially Charles Spurgeon, emphasize that Jesus did not meet the man by chance. He heard the man was cast out and deliberately sought him. Scholars see this as a powerful illustration of Christ's character: He actively seeks, finds, and comforts those who are rejected by the world or religious establishments for their testimony.
