Jesus stopped and called them. In the context of Matthew 20, Jesus is on His way to Jerusalem, where He will soon face crucifixion. Despite the urgency of His mission, He stops for two blind men who are calling out to Him. This demonstrates Jesus' compassion and willingness to address the needs of individuals, even when He is focused on a larger mission. The act of stopping signifies the importance Jesus places on personal interaction and care. This moment reflects the nature of Jesus as the Good Shepherd, who knows His sheep and responds to their cries (John 10:14). The calling of the blind men also echoes the call of God to humanity, inviting them into a relationship with Him. “What do you want Me to do for you?” He asked. Persons / Places / Events 1.

We are called to emulate this compassion in our interactions with others. Faith and Persistence The blind men's persistence in calling out to Jesus, despite being rebuked by the crowd, highlights the importance of faith and perseverance in seeking God's help. Personal Relationship with Jesus Jesus' question, "What do you want Me to do for you?" invites a personal response, encouraging us to bring our specific needs and desires to Him in prayer. Overcoming Obstacles The crowd's initial rebuke represents obstacles that can hinder our approach to Jesus. We must be determined to overcome such barriers in our spiritual journey. Witnessing Miracles The crowd's change in attitude after witnessing the miracle reminds us of the power of testimony and the impact of witnessing God's work in the lives of others.(32) Jesus stood still, and called them.--Or, as in St. Mark, "bade them be called," the message being given specially to Bartimaeus. St. Mark gives, with a graphic fulness, the very words of the message, "Be of good cheer, arise; He calleth thee," and adds that the blind man flung off his outer cloak, or mantle, and leapt up and came to Jesus. All three Gospels give our Lord's question in the same, or nearly the same, words. He sought, as with the clear insight of sympathy, to know what was the special grief that weighed upon the man's spirit.Verse 32. - Jesus stood still. He acknowledged the title of "Son of David," and, as the blind men could not follow him, he stopped his progress; their perseverance won his acceptance; he was ready to listen to their appeal and to grant their request. Called them. The gracious summons left them in no doubt as to the happy issue of their prayer. St. Mark speaks of the joyful alacrity with which the blind man obeyed the call; how he "cast away his garment, sprang up, and came to Jesus." What will ye that I shall do unto you? The Lord knew the desire of their hearts, but he wished to draw forth the public confession of their needs, and the distinct blessing which they craved, that all the bystanders might acknowledge the miracle, and the sufferers themselves might be incited more vehemently to urge their plea, and thus become more worthy of relief. So God knows all our necessities before we ask, but he will have our prayers, that we may cooperate with him in the work which he purposes to accomplish. Parallel Commentaries ...
