Luke 18:35 And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging. 36 And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant. 37 And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passes by.
But the same narrative will be inspired by God to a doctor by the name of Luke and thus, because of his training, where he pays great attention to detail, he will put much more meat on the bones as it were, to give us the same account from his perspective, even though at the end of the day, it does not change the basic fact that the blind was healed…. Luke 18:38 And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me.
Luke 18:39 And they which went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much the more, Thou son of David, have mercy on me. 40 And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him, 41 Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight. 42 And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee.
[1SM pp 21] The Bible is written by inspired men, but it is not God’s mode of thought and expression. It is that of humanity. God, as a writer, is not represented. Men will often say such an expression is not like God. But God has not put Himself in words, in logic, in rhetoric, on trial in the Bible. The writers of the Bible were God’s penmen, not His pen.
Luke 18:43 And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
