Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible

Luke 18:41

“What do you wish that I should do to you?” And he said, “Lord, that I may receive my sight.” '

“What do you wish that I should do to you?” Jesus must, of course, have known. But the man must be made to express his faith in words. And the man now more awed and humbled addresses Him as ‘Lord.' He asks that he might receive his sight.
