Summary
In fact, as you look at the other accounts of Jesus healing people, there is only one time where Jesus mentions the name of the person that he healed. In the very next verse, verse 47, it says, when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout out and say, Jesus, son of David, have mercy on me. You see the picture there of this blind beggar screaming at the top of his lungs, calling out to Jesus the son of David to have mercy on him, screaming to Jesus. Think for a moment to marry Magdalene in the garden when she sees the risen Lord Jesus Christ and she turns to Jesus and says, when Bartomancer turns to Jesus and says, Rabonai, what he is saying is, is my Lord and my master. Careful with that verse that says, that his faith made him well, it wasn't the cause of his healing because we see in scripture sometimes Jesus healed people that didn't have any faith. No, he had faith in the Lord Jesus Christ as the Messiah, the one that would take away his sins and because of that, he was made well on a much deeper and broader level than just having his sight restored.
