Thematic Bible: Blind man


Thematic Bible



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. Hearing that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began shouting and saying, "Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me!" and many kept rebuking him and telling him to be quiet, but he only shouted much louder, "Son of David, have mercy on me!" read more.
Then Jesus stood still, saying, "Call him." So they called the blind man, and said, "Courage, rise, he is calling you." The man threw off his cloak, sprang to his feet, and came to Jesus. "What do you want me to do?" said Jesus, addressing him. And the blind man answered, "O Rabboni, that I might receive my sight!" "Go," said Jesus, "your own faith has saved you," and immediately he received his sight, and began to follow Jesus along the road.

Now as they were leaving Jericho a great crowd followed him. And two blind men, sitting by the side of the road, heard that it was Jesus who was passing by, and cried out, "Have pity on us, Master, Son of David!" But the crowd checked them, to make them keep still. They cried out all the louder, saying, "Master, have pity on us, Son of David!" read more.
Then Jesus stopped and called to them, "What do you want me to do for you?" "Master," they answered, "let our eyes be opened." Then Jesus, moved with compassion, touched their eyes, and they saw at once, and followed him.

As Jesus drew near to Jericho, there was a blind man who sat by the wayside begging. He heard the crowd passing and asked what the matter was. They told him, "Jesus of Nazareth is passing by." read more.
Then he shouted out, saying, "Jesus, son of David, take pity on me!" 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!" So Jesus stopped and ordered him to be brought to him. When he was come near to him he asked him "What do you want me to do for you?" "Lord," he answered, "that I might see again." "Receive your sight," said Jesus, "your faith has saved you." Instantly he regained his sight and followed Jesus, giving glory to God; and all the people who saw it gave praise to God.


Now as he was passing along he saw a man, blind from birth.

Taking the blind man by the hand, he led him outside the village; and, after spitting on his eyes, he laid his hands on him and asked, "Can you make out anything?"
