    A Blind Man Sees
    Luke 18:35-43
     
    Credibility of God's Record
    v35
    • Matt 20:29 says from Jericho, this account says unto Jericho. Why the difference?

      • Because archeological and historical records show a second Jericho, this was Herod's winter palace.
    • Matt 9:27 What? A duplication with errors? No, this account happened in Capernaum
    • Matt 20:29-34 The dilemma of 1 or 2 men. In Luke 18:35 it is recorded that it is a "certain" blind man. There certainly may have been two, or even more.
    v36-38 The blind man is needy asking for mercy, for help
    (It is in Mark he is named: Bartimaeus)
    v39 The people were put out, upset, with Bartimaeus, but he the more called out to Jesus.
       
    Comparing Physical with Spiritual blindness
    Matthew 33:16, 17, 19, 24, 26
    These were the spiritual leaders!

    2 Peter 2:9, Ephesians 4:18
    Blindness of the heart

    John 12:40, Ephesians 2;1
    A corpse is blind
    v39 The crowd told the blind man to keep quiet, the crowd was a stumbling block
     
    v40-43 Compassion of the Redeemer
