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

⁴⁶ Then they reached Jericho; and as he was leaving Jericho with his disciples and a great crowd, Bartimeus, the son of Timaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting beside the road. ⁴⁷ Hearing that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began shouting and saying, "Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me!" ⁴⁸ and many kept rebuking him and telling him to be quiet, but he only shouted much louder, "Son of David, have mercy on me!"

⁴⁹ Then Jesus stood still, saying, "Call him." So they called the blind man, and said, "Courage, rise, he is calling you." ⁵⁰ The man threw off his cloak, sprang to his feet, and came to Jesus.

⁵¹ "What do you want me to do?" said Jesus, addressing him. And the blind man answered, "O Rabboni, that I might receive my sight!"

⁵² "Go," said Jesus, "your own faith has saved you," and immediately he received his sight, and began to follow Jesus along the road.

³⁵ As Jesus drew near to Jericho, there was a blind man who sat by the wayside begging. ³⁶ He heard the crowd passing and asked what the matter was. ³⁷ They told him, "Jesus of Nazareth is passing by."

³⁸ Then he shouted out, saying, "Jesus, son of David, take pity on me!" ³⁹ Those who went ahead began to reprove him and to tell him to be still; but he kept clamorously shouting all the more, "Son of David, take pity on me!"

⁴⁰ So Jesus stopped and ordered him to be brought to him. When he was come near to him he asked him ⁴¹ "What do you want me to do for you?" "Lord," he answered, "that I might see again."

⁴² "Receive your sight," said Jesus, "your faith has saved you." ⁴³ Instantly he regained his sight and followed Jesus, giving glory to God; and all the people who saw it gave praise to God.
