The crowd rebuked them, telling them to be silent, but they cried out all the more: Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David! The crowd's rebuke and the blind men's louder crying communicates the persistent faith that overcomes the social obstacle. The more that the crowd commands silence, the more the blind men cry out. The faith that persists through opposition is the faith that receives its answer.
