Read Luke 18.28-43. In verses 28-30: This section closely parallels Mk 10.23-31 and Mt 19.23-30 and recalls the sacrifices called for in 9.57-62. In verses 31-34: In close parallel with Mk 10.32-34 and Mt 20.17-19, Luke stresses the fulfillment of everything that is written about the Son of Man by the prophets (see Acts 8.30-35; Isa 53). The Gentiles are non-Jews (Acts 4.25-26). In verse 34: This complex sentence states their lack of understanding from three perspectives (see "ignorance" in Acts 3.17-18). In verses 35-43: The blind man twice acclaims Jesus as Son of David, which is clearly a royal title, and Jesus fulfills the role for which he was anointed, giving sight to the blind (see 4.18 citing Isa 61.1 and 7.22 alluding to Isa 35.5).
