Context of Luke 18:41

39And 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, “What do you want Me to do for you?” And he said, “Master, I want to see again!” 42Yeshua said to him, “Receive your sight. Your faith has made you well.” 43Immediately the man received his sight and began following Yeshua, glorifying God. And when all the people saw it, they also gave praise to God.
