Miracles of Restoration

Jesus responds to persistent cries for mercy. The crowd tried to silence these blind men, but they cried out even louder. Jesus stopped, called them, and restored their sight. Their persistence revealed their faith, and their healing revealed Jesus’ compassion.

Have mercy on us, O Lord. (Matthew 20:30)

What will ye that I shall do unto you? (Matthew 20:32)

Their eyes were opened. (Matthew 20:34)
