This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Mat 20:30. Δύο, two) St Mark (Mar 10:46) mentions only one, Bartimaeus, the most distinguished”[897] as St Matthew in the next chapter mentions both the ass and the colt, St Mark only the colt which was actually employed by our Lord; as St Luke (Luk 24:4) the two angels who appeared, St Matthew and St Mark, the one who spoke.
[897] The same one is meant also in Luk 18:35, that Evangelist having had occasion to transpose the order of the narration, owing to the fact that one of the two blind men made acquaintance with the Divine Physician on the way, when Jesus was entering Jericho. In the meantime, whilst the Saviour was dining or rather passing the night with Zaccheus, the other of the two blind men, whom Matthew adds to the former one, joined Bartimaeus.-Harm., pp. 434, 435.
