Context of Matthew 20:32

30And here two blind men sitting by the roadside, when they heard that Yeshua was passing by, cried out, saying, “Have mercy on us, O Master, Ben-David!” 31The crowd warned them to be quiet, but they cried out all the more, saying, “Have mercy on us, O Master, Ben-David!” Yeshua stopped and called out to them. “What do you want Me to do for you?” He said. 33They said to Him, “Master, let our eyes be opened!” 34Moved with compassion, Yeshua touched their eyes. Instantly they regained their sight and followed Him.
