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

⁴⁶ They came to Jericho; and as He was leaving that town--Himself and His disciples and a great crowd--Bartimaeus (the son of Timaeus) ⁴⁷ Hearing that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out, "Son of David, Jesus, have pity on me." ⁴⁸ Many angrily told him to leave off shouting; but he only cried out all the louder, "Son of David, have pity on me."

⁴⁹ Then Jesus stood still. "Call him," He said. So they called the blind man. "Cheer up," they said; "rise, he is calling you." ⁵⁰ The man flung away his outer garment, sprang to his feet, and came to Jesus.

⁵¹ "What shall I do for you?" said Jesus. "Rabboni," replied the blind man, "let me recover my sight."

⁵² "Go," said Jesus, "your faith has cured you." Instantly he regained his sight, and followed Him along the road.

³⁵ As Jesus came near to Jericho, there was a blind man sitting by the way-side begging. ³⁶ He heard a crowd of people going past, and inquired what it all meant. ³⁷ "Jesus the Nazarene is passing by," they told him.

³⁸ Then, at the top of his voice, he cried out, "Jesus, son of David, take pity on me." ³⁹ Those in front reproved him and tried to silence him; but he continued shouting, louder than ever, "Son of David, take pity on me."

⁴⁰ At length Jesus stopped and desired them to bring the man to Him; and when he had come close to Him He asked him, ⁴¹ "What shall I do for you?" "Sir," he replied, "let me recover my sight."

⁴² "Recover your sight," said Jesus: "your faith has cured you." ⁴³ No sooner were the words spoken than the man regained his sight and followed Jesus, giving glory to God; and all the people, seeing it, gave praise to God.
