“Beggar” is not a term many people use today. Yet it places this man squarely within the gospel narratives: among those whom Jesus noticed, valued, and loved. 

In Jesus’ day, beggars were considered unclean. The health conditions that plagued some were considered a curse from God. Beggars were often shunned, despised, and treated as an inconvenience to be hidden away from public view.
