And behold, a man of the company, etc.] One that was in the company, and among the multitude, that met him: cried out; with great vehemence and earnestness: saying, Master; doctor, or “Rabbi”: I beseech thee: most humbly, for he was now on his knees: look upon my son: with pity and compassion, and help him: for he is mine only child; wherefore he was dear unto him, and he was greatly concerned for him, and earnestly desirous of his being restored to health; and this he mentions, to move the compassion of Christ.
