GOSPEL OF LUKE - Section E - 18:35-21:37

Are there paragraph "hooks" here
The following appears to be about a blind man "standing up" for his rights

18:35-43 It happened that as he drew near to Jericho a certain blind man was sitting by the wayside begging. On hearing a crowd passing through he asked what was going on. They reported to him "Jesus the Nazarene is passing by." He cried out saying "Jesus son of David. Pity me." Those who were walking in front of him rebuked him telling him to be quiet. But he cried out all the more. "Son of David. Pity me." On standing still Jesus commanded him to be brought to him. As he drew near he questioned (the man). "What do you want me to do for you." He said "Lord that I may see again." Jesus said to him. "See again. It is your faith that has healed you." At once he saw again and followed (Jesus) glorifying God. All the people on seeing this also gave praise to God.

There is a similar theme with the next story.

19:1-10 Having entered Jericho he was passing through it. And behold there was a man there who was called Zacchaeus. He was a major tax-collector and was rich. He tried to see Jesus and who he was. But he was not able to do so because of the crowd. He was too short. So he ran forward to the front (of the crowd) and got up onto a sycamore-tree so he could see him as he (Jesus) was about to pass along that way. And as He came upon the spot he looked up and said to him. "Zacchaeus. Hurry up and come down for today it suits me to stay in your house." So making haste he came down and welcomed him (Jesus) with great joy. And all those seeing this murmured saying "Is he going to stay with a sinful man?" And standing forward Zacchaeus said to the Lord. "Behold half of my possessions I will give to the poor. And if I have accused anyone falsely about anything, I will restore it fourfold." And Jesus said to him. "To-day salvation has come to this house. After all even he (Zacchaeus) is a son of Abraham and the Son of man has come to seek out and to save what has been lost."

as also with the next story etc.

19:11-27 As they heard these things he told them a parable. He was getting near to Jerusalem and they were thinking that the kingdom of God would appear suddenly. He therefore said "A certain man (an investor) who was well born went to a far away country to receive kingly power and was then to return. Having called ten of his slaves to him he gave them ten minas and said to them. "Trade until my return. But his citizens hated him and sent a delegation after him saying "We do no want this man to reign over us." Now it happened that when he returned, after having received the kingdom, he asked for those slaves to whom he had given the money to report to him. This was so he could find out who had gained by trading. And so the first one came saying "Lord the ten mina has gained more minas. And he (the master) said to him "Well done good slave. Because in a small thing you were faithful, you will have authority over ten cities." And the second (slave) came saying "Lord, your mina has made five minas." And he said also to this one. "You will rule over five cities." And the other came saying “Lord behold your (single) mina that I had. I put it away in a napkin. For I was afraid of you because you are an exacting man. You take what you did not invest and you reap what you did not sow.” And he (the master) says to him. "Out of your own mouth, will I judge you, wicked slave. You knew that I am an exacting man - taking what I had not laid down and reaping what I had not sown So why did you not put my money onto a (lending) table. Then on my return I would have exacted it with interest." And to those who were standing by he said "Take from him the mina and give it to the one who has ten minas." They said to him. "Lord he has ten minas." (He answered) "I tell you that to everyone who has, it will be given. From the one who does not have, even the little he has will be taken from him. Nevertheless those here who are my enemies and do not wish me to reign over them - bring them here and slay them before me."
