Two Blind Men Receive Their Sight

29 aNow as they went out of Jericho, a great multitude followed Him.  
30 And behold, atwo blind men sitting by the road, when they heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out, saying, “Have mercy on us, O Lord, bSon of David!”  
31 Then the multitude awarned them that they should be quiet; but they cried out all the more, saying, “Have mercy on us, O Lord, Son of David!”  
32 So Jesus stood still and called them, and said, “What do you want Me to do for you?”
33 They said to Him, “Lord, that our eyes may be opened.”
34 So Jesus had acompassion and touched their eyes. And immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed Him.

Matthew 20:31

The multitude rebuked them - Whenever a soul begins to cry after Jesus for light and salvation, the world and the devil join together to drown its cries, or force it to be silent. But let all such remember, Jesus is now passing by; that their souls must perish everlastingly, if not saved by him, and they may never have so good an opportunity again. While there is a broken and a contrite heart, let it sigh its complaints to God, till he hear and answer.

They cried the more - When the world and the devil begin to rebuke, in this case, it is a proof that the salvation of God is nigh; therefore, let such cry out a great deal the more.
