# Connecting Statement:
|
|
|
|
This begins the account of Jesus healing two blind men.
|
|
|
|
# As Jesus passed by from there
|
|
|
|
As Jesus was leaving the region
|
|
|
|
# passed by
|
|
|
|
"was leaving" or "was going"
|
|
|
|
# followed him
|
|
|
|
This means they were walking behind Jesus, not necessarily that they had become his disciples.
|
|
|
|
# Have mercy on us
|
|
|
|
It is implied that they wanted Jesus to heal them. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-explicit]])

# Son of David
|
|
|
|
Jesus was not David's literal son, so this may be translated as "Descendant of David." However, "Son of David" is also a title for the Messiah, and the men were probably calling Jesus by this title.
