And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me.
And he cried, saying, Jesus, son of David, in other words, 'Thou promised Messiah.' That this was the understood sense of the phrase is evident from the acclamation with which the multitude greeted Him on his triumphal entry into Jerusalem (Matthew 21:9; see also Matthew 12:23).
Have mercy on me!
