'Begging' in the Bible

And they come to Jericho, and as he is going forth from Jericho, with his disciples and a great multitude, a son of Timaeus -- Bartimaeus the blind -- was sitting beside the way begging,

And it came to pass, in his coming nigh to Jericho, a certain blind man was sitting beside the way begging,

the neighbours, therefore, and those seeing him before, that he was blind, said, 'Is not this he who is sitting and begging?'

who, having seen Peter and John about to go into the temple, was begging to receive a kindness.
