📚 Historical Context
In the biblical narrative of Matthew 20, Jesus is traveling from Jericho to Jerusalem with His disciples, just before His triumphal entry into the city. As He passes by, two blind men cry out to Him, calling Him the Son of David and seeking mercy, despite the crowd trying to silence them. This moment underscores Jesus' accessibility and compassion toward the marginalized in a society where the blind were often overlooked and dependent on others for survival.
