9:27 As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed him, shouting,¹ “Have mercy² on us, Son of David!”³

Matius 12:23

Konteks
12:23 All the crowds were amazed and said, “Could this one be the Son of David?”

[9:27] ¹tn Grk “shouting, saying.” The participle λέγοντες (legontes) is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated.

[9:27] ²sn Have mercy on us is a request for healing. It is not owed to the men. They simply ask for God’s kind grace.

[9:27] ³sn There was a tradition in Judaism that the Son of David (Solomon) had great powers of healing (Josephus, Ant. 8.2.5 [8.42-49]).
