One Man or Two?
Scholars note a difference between Luke's account (one blind man as Jesus enters Jericho) and Matthew's (two blind men as Jesus leaves). Some commentators suggest these were separate events, while others see them as different perspectives on the same healing. This highlights that the Gospels can vary in detail while agreeing on the core truth: Jesus mercifully heals a blind beggar near Jericho.
