The blind man's cries annoy the bystanders. They want him to stop shouting. This reaction betrays their lack of understanding of the plight of the blind man. But the blind man cannot be stopped. He realizes that now there is a chance to receive true help. If there is one who can help him, it is Jesus. Therefore, full of expectation, he cries out with even greater force: Son of David, have mercy on me!
39 Ceux qui marchaient devant le reprenaient, pour le faire taire; mais il criait beaucoup plus fort: Fils de David, aie pitié de moi!
