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

⁴⁶ At length they came to Jericho, and as he was leaving Jericho, accompanied by his disciples, and a great number of people, a blind man called Bartimeus sat begging in the high-way. ⁴⁷ when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he cried out, and said, Jesus, son of David, have pity on me. ⁴⁸ but many of the company rebuk'd him, in order to silence him. at which he cry'd out with more earnestness, son of David have pity on me.

⁴⁹ Jesus therefore stood still, and ordered him to be called; so they called to the blind man, and said, take courage, rise, he calls you. ⁵⁰ upon which he threw off his loose coat, and went to Jesus;

⁵¹ who thereupon spoke to him, and said, what would you have me do for you? the blind man replied, Lord, I desire to have my sight.

⁵² and Jesus said to him, go your way, your faith has cur'd you, and immediately he had sight, and followed Jesus in the road.

³⁵ As they were near Jericho, a blind man happen'd to sit begging by the road, ³⁶ who hearing the noise of a crowd passing by, ask'd what the matter was. ³⁷ they told him, Jesus the Nazarene is passing by.

³⁸ then he cry'd out, Jesus son of David, have pity on me. ³⁹ those who led the way bid him hold his tongue. but he bawl'd out the louder, son of David have pity on me.

⁴⁰ then Jesus stopp'd, and order'd them to bring the man to him, who being come nigh, he ask'd him, ⁴¹ what would you have me do for you? he said, Lord, I desire to have sight.

⁴² have sight, said Jesus, your faith has obtain'd you a cure. ⁴³ and immediately he saw: and followed Jesus, glorifying God: and all the people, who were eye-witnesses, gave praise unto God.
