+ Read Scripture

Matthew 20:29-34

29 And as they went out of Jericho, a great crowd followed him. 30 And behold, there were two blind men sitting by the roadside, and when they heard that Jesus was passing by, they cried out, “Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David!” 31 The crowd rebuked them, telling them to be silent, but they cried out all the more, “Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David!” 32 And stopping, Jesus called them and said, “What do you want me to do for you?” 33 They said to him, “Lord, let our eyes be opened.” 34 And Jesus in pity touched their eyes, and immediately they recovered their sight and followed him.

Talk Sheet Questions

  1. What do you notice about the setting and the cry of the blind men?

  2. Mark 10:46-52 and Luke 18:35-43 tell the same story. How do their accounts add color to Matthew’s account?

  3. Why might the crowd have tried to quiet their calling? How would you have reacted if you were part of the crowd?

  4. How would your prayer life change if Jesus was standing before you asking you, “What do you want me to do for you?”

  5. What do you think Jesus got out of healing them? Any thoughts on why he healed them?

Prayer

Pray that we would boldly ask and confidently trust Jesus.
