Luke 18:39

“And they that went before, etc.] In the company that preceded Christ; for he, as yet, was not come right over against the blind man: rebuked him that he should hold his peace; being not well pleased that he should call him the son of David, which was acknowledging him to be the Messiah; or that he might not be troublesome to Christ, and retard his journey: but he cried so much the more, thou son of David, have mercy on me; he neither dropped the character of Christ, nor his request to him; but called out more loudly, and with greater vehemence, earnestness, and importunity: so persons sensible of their need of Christ, and of his worth, excellency, and ability, are not to be discouraged from…”

“rebuked, &c.--(See on Luk 18:15). so much the more--that importunity so commended in the Syrophenician woman, and so often enjoined (Luk 11:5-13; Luk 18:1-8).”
