In the story of the blind men at Jericho, recorded in Matthew 20:29-34, Mark 10:46-52, and Luke 18:35-43, Jesus encounters two blind men begging for mercy on the outskirts of Jericho. Despite the crowd's attempts to silence them, the men persistently call out to Jesus, recognizing Him as the son of David. Jesus stops and asks them what they want, to which they reply that they want to receive their sight. Touched by their faith, Jesus heals them, and they immediately regain their sight and follow Him.

The similarities across all three accounts of this event emphasize the importance of persistence in seeking Jesus and faith in His ability to heal and restore. Each version highlights the blind men's unwavering faith and determination to reach Jesus, despite obstacles and discouragement. This passage serves as a reminder of the power of faith and the miraculous healing that comes from believing in Jesus as the son of David. As a daily application, readers can be encouraged to approach Jesus with unwavering faith and persistence in seeking His help in their own lives, trusting in His ability to bring healing and restoration to any situation.

This passage is not found in other parts of the gospels, but its message of faith and perseverance in seeking Jesus is echoed throughout other encounters with individuals seeking healing and restoration from Him.
