Luke 18:37 — Meaning and Application

And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging:

And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant.

And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.

And he cried, saying, Jesus, {thou} Son of David, have mercy on me.

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.
