"When JESUS drew near to Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the road begging. As he heard the crowd passing by, he inquired what was happening and they told him that JESUS of Nazareth was going by. Then he cried out, 'JESUS, Son of David, have mercy on me! The people in front of him scolded him. 'Be quiet!' they said, but he cried out all the more, 'JESUS, Son of David, have mercy on me!'
JESUS stopped and ordered the blind man to be brought to him; and when he came near, JESUS asked him, 'What do you want ME to do for you?' And the man said, 'LORD, that I may see!' JESUS said, 'Receive your sight, your faith has saved you.' At once the blind man was able to see and he followed JESUS, giving praise to GOD. And all the people who were there also praised GOD." - Luke 18:35-43
(GOD is the one who moves us to ask something of HIM. The blind man understands that if he lets this opportunity go by, there will not be another chance, which is why he shouts all the more while the rest try to silence him.
Son of David! was a way of designating the Messiah.)
