Matthew 20:32

Compare all

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 20:32

Jesus stood - " The cry of a believing penitent," says one, "is sufficient to stop the most merciful Jesus, were he going to make a new heaven and a new earth; for what is all the irrational part of God' s creation in worth, when compared with the value of one immortal soul!" See on Mark 10:50 (note).

What will ye that I shall do - Christ is at all times infinitely willing to save sinners: when the desire of the heart is turned towards him, there can be little delay in the salvation. What is thy wish? If it be a good one, God will surely fulfill it.
