Thematic Bible: The miraculous healing of bartimaeus

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.

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!" Then Jesus stopped and called to them, "What do you want me to do for you?" read more.
"Master," they answered, "let our eyes be opened." Then Jesus, moved with compassion, touched their eyes, and they saw at once, and followed him.
