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

Mark 10:46-52

46 And they came to Jericho. As he was leaving the town with his disciples and a great crowd, Timaeus' son Bartimaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting at the roadside. 47 When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth he began to cry out, "Jesus, you son of David, take pity on me!" 48 Many of the people rebuked him and told him to be still. But he cried out all the louder, "You son of David, take pity on me!"

49 Jesus stopped and said, "Call him here." And they called the blind man and said to him, "Courage now! Get up, he is calling you!" 50 And he threw off his coat and sprang to his feet and went up to Jesus.

51 Jesus spoke to him and said, "What do you want me to do for you?" The blind man said to him, "Master, let me regain my sight!"

52 Jesus said to him, "Go your way. Your faith has cured you." And he immediately regained his sight and followed Jesus along the road.

Luke 18:35-43

35 As he approached Jericho, a blind man happened to be sitting by the roadside begging. 36 And hearing a crowd going by he asked what it meant. 37 They told him that Jesus of Nazareth was coming by.

38 And he shouted, "Jesus, you Son of David, take pity on me!" 39 And those who were in front reproved him and told him to be quiet, but he cried out all the louder, "You Son of David, take pity on me!"

40 And Jesus stopped and ordered the man to be brought to him. When he came up, Jesus asked him, 41 "What do you want me to do for you?" He answered, "Master, let me regain my sight!"

42 And Jesus said to him, "Regain your sight! Your faith has cured you!" 43 And he regained his sight immediately, and followed Jesus, giving thanks to God. And all the people saw it and praised God.
