Mark 10:46-52 - A Blind Man Healed At Jericho

⁴⁶ Then they [i.e., Jesus and the twelve apostles] came to Jericho [Note: This was a town about ⁴⁷ When he heard that it was Jesus from Nazareth [passing by], he began shouting, "Jesus, son of David, have pity on me." ⁴⁸ Many people spoke harshly to the blind man, telling him to be quiet. But he shouted all the more [loudly], "Son of David, have pity on me."

⁴⁹ So, Jesus stopped and said, "Call that man [to me]." Then the crowd called the blind man, saying to him, "Cheer up, Jesus is calling you." ⁵⁰ So, he threw off his robe, jumped up, and [immediately] went to Jesus.

⁵¹ Jesus said to him, "What do you want me to do for you?" And the blind man answered, "Rabboni [i.e., Teacher], I want to have my sight restored."

⁵² And Jesus said to him, "Go on your way, your faith [in me] has made you well." And immediately his sight was restored, and he began following Jesus along the road.

³⁵ And it happened as Jesus was approaching Jericho [Note: This was a town about eighteen miles northeast of Jerusalem], that a certain blind man was [seen] sitting along side of the road, begging. ³⁶ As he heard a crowd of people passing by, he asked [someone] what was happening. ³⁷ And he was told that Jesus from Nazareth was passing by [that way].

³⁸ So, he shouted out, "Jesus, you son of David, take pity on me." ³⁹ But those walking in front [of Jesus] spoke harshly to the blind beggar, telling him to be quiet. But he continued shouting all the more, "You son of David, take pity on me."

⁴⁰ So, Jesus stopped and ordered the beggar to be brought to Him. And when he came near, Jesus asked him, ⁴¹ "What do you want me to do for you?" And he replied, "Lord, I want to receive my sight."

⁴² And Jesus said to him, "Receive your sight, your faith has made you well." ⁴³ And immediately his sight was restored and he followed Jesus, giving honor to God. And when all the people saw this, they [too] praised God.
