Jesus Stopped

Matthew 20:30-34 NASB
30 And two blind men sitting by the road, hearing that Jesus was passing by, cried out, Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David! 31 The crowd sternly told them to be quiet, but they cried out all the more, Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us! 32 And Jesus stopped and called them, and said, What do you want Me to do for you? 33 They *said to Him, Lord, we want our eyes to be opened. 34 Moved with compassion, Jesus touched their eyes; and immediately they regained their sight and followed Him.

They cried out to Jesus despite the crowd.  He stopped. He stops for everyone who calls out to Him.  They sought His mercy, and His mercy healed them. His compassion brought Him that He would take with Him all that would follow. Once these two men could see, they did just that. Anyone who can see does so.
