We have several records of blind men being cured by the Lord Jesus Christ. One of them is in Mark 10:46-52.
10:46. And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and a great number of people,
For, now, his march to the battle was like a triumphal march, which was by-and-by to be attended with the waving of palms and the shout of Hosannas: «as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and a great number of people,»-
Mark 10:46-47. Blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the highway side begging. And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth,
That is all that the crowd called him «Jesus of Nazareth
Mark 10:47. He began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me.
He had advanced much further than the mass of the people. To him it was not «Jesus of Nazareth,» but it was «Jesus, thou Son of David.»
Mark 10:49-50. And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal, Thou son of David, have mercy on me. And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be called. And they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good comfort, rise; he calleth thee. And he, casting away his garment, rose, and came to Jesus.
Blind as he was, he found his way to the Saviour: I suppose the ear directed by the voice helped him to do so.
Mark 10:51. And Jesus answered and said unto him, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? The blind man said unto him, Lord, that I might receive my sight.
His request was plainly put, but it was most respectfully and even adoringly addressed to Christ.
Mark 10:52. And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole.
You will find that it is often the Saviour's way thus to give the credit of his own work, to the patient's faith. «Thy faith,» saith he, «hath made thee whole.» Whereas, you and I, if we do a good thing, are very anxious that nobody else should take the credit of it. We are very willing to have all the honour put upon ourselves, but Jesus does not say, «I have made thee whole,» though that was true enough; but, «Thy faith hath made thee whole.» And why is it, think you, that Christ takes the crown of his own head to put it on the head of faith? Why? Because he loves faith, and because faith is quite certain not to wear that crown, but to lay it at his feet; for, of all the graces, faith is the surest to deny herself, and ascribe all to him in whom she trusts.
Mark 10:52. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.
Another of these records is in John 9:1-7.
This exposition consisted of readings from Mark 10:46-52; and John 9:1-7.
