Luke 18:42

The Pulpit Commentary on Luke 18:42

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight. "Magnifique aumone du Christ" (Pressense'). Thy faith hath saved thee. The American Longfellow has united the cry for mercy of the blind, the kindly sympathizing words of the disciples, and the gift of Jesus Christ, in his exquisite poem of 'Blind Bartimaeus.'

"Those mighty voices three—

' ἰησοῦ ἐλέησόν με!

θαῤῥσει ἕγειρε φωνεῖ σε

ἡ πίστις σου σέσωκέ σε!"
