He was completely destitute of means.  And he knew it.  

He knew that something to be done.  Some help?  Someone who knew something . . .who could help.

. . . JESUS

is there anyone else?

Matthew KJV 17:7-8

And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid. 8 And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only.
