Context of Luke 18:39

37They told him that Yeshua ha-Natzrati was passing by. 38And he cried out, saying, “Yeshua, Ben-David, have mercy on me!” And those leading the way were scolding him, so he would be quiet. But he kept shouting all the more, “Ben-David, have mercy on me!” 40So Yeshua stopped and ordered the blind man to be brought to Him. And when he came near, Yeshua asked him, 41“What do you want Me to do for you?” And he said, “Master, I want to see again!”
