Explanation: On his way to Jerusalem, Jesus approached Jericho where he healed two blind men. Mark and Luke concentrate on one man to the exclusion of the other; and one of the men, Bartimaeus, is identified by name by Mark. Both men who were healed glorified God, and both followed him.

^{Matthew 20:29-34; Mark 10:46-52; Luke 18:35-43      Mark 10:46} And they came to Jericho: and [^{Luke 18:35} nigh unto Jericho] as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and a great number of people,] [^{Matthew 20:30} behold, two blind men sitting by the way side,] [^{Luke 18:35} a certain blind man (and)] [^{Mark 10:46} blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, begging.] ^{Luke 18:36} And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant. ^{Luke 18:37} And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passes by. ^{Matthew 20:30} (And) when they heard that Jesus passed by, (they) cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, you Son of David. ^{[Mark 10:48} And many (of)] the multitude [^{Luke 18:39} which went before] rebuked [^{Mark 10:48} and charged] [^{Matthew 20:31} them, because they should hold their peace: but they cried the more] [^{Mark 10:48} a great deal,] saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, you Son of David. ^{Mark 10:49} And Jesus stood still, and commanded (them) to be called. And they called the blind (men), saying unto (them), Be of good comfort, rise; he calls you. [^{Mark 10:50} And (Bartimaeus), casting away his garment, rose, and (they) came to Jesus.] ^{Matthew 20:32} And Jesus said, What will you that I shall do unto you? ^{Matthew 20:33} They said unto him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened, [^{Luke 18:41} (so) that (we) may receive (our) sight.] ^{Matthew 20:34} So Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes: [^{Luke 18:42} And Jesus said unto him, Receive your sight: and immediately their eyes received sight,] [^{Mark 10:52} (and he said) Go your way;] your faith has saved you [^{Matthew 20:34} and they followed him] [^{Mark 10:52} in the way.] ^{Luke 18:43} glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God.
