And our love, like the Messiah's love, involves the costly ransoming of others so that they can be free to be and do all that God has in mind for them. In this incident they are by the roadside.

Perhaps Matthew remembers that two men came on this occasion, but only one of them became known in the Christian community. That two blind persons should travel together is not surprising. Luke also mentions only one of the blind men. And some have objected that Luke locates this miracle before entering the town of Jericho. The outskirts of the city of Jericho probably extended, as they do today, to the south where the road turns up the Jericho Road.
